Vision (Paul Bettany) could be Thanos' first kill in the part 1 since the Mad Titan is after the Mind Stone in order to increase his powers along with the other Infinity Stones.

Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel is said to lead the new Avengers team in defeating Thanos and save the while Marvel universe from the cosmic might of the Infinity Stones.

"Avengers: Infinity War" part 1 is slated to be release on May 4, 2018, while part 2 is scheduled on May 3, 2019.
