Marvel Studios has released what looks like the official plot synopsis for Avengers: Endgame. It doesn’t contain any spoilers or surprises if you’ve seen Infinity War. Instead, it focuses on hyping up a dramatic conclusion to a story that’s been 22 films in the making.

The synopsis comes from Marvel’s official website, which people recently discovered was updated to include the following description for Endgame:

“The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios’ grand conclusion to twenty-two films, Avengers: Endgame.

The 22 films reference to the all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films released since 2008, beginning with Iron Man. Endgame is the 22nd film in the series.

Avengers: Infinity War ended in dramatic fashion, with the evil Thanos snapping away half of the galaxy’s population. Lots of people died, including superheroes that fans have come to know and love. In Endgame, the remaining members of the Avengers have apparently devised a plan to make things right–though it remains to be seen if the beloved fallen heroes will be resurrected by some means.

Many fans believe “the snap” may be undone in Endgame, given that many of the characters who perished have future movies in the pipeline. According to writer Christopher Markus, the deaths from Infinity War are “real,” at least in some fashion.

“It is a different movie than you think it is,” Markus said about Endgame. “We broke your heart. Now we’re going to blow your mind.”

Endgame hits theatres on April 26. It’ll be the second Marvel movie in as many months, following the box office smash Captain Marvel in March. Captain Marvel actress Brie Larson returns to play the character again in Endgame, and she can be seen in the newest Endgame trailer that’s embedded above.

Disney has finally, officially closed its $71 billion deal to buy the majority of Fox’s entertainment assets. As part of the acquisition, Disney is expected to cut “thousands” of jobs as it eliminates duplicate jobs as part of the massive the restructuring, according to multiple reports.

Disney CEO Robert Iger sent a memo to staff regarding the Fox deal, and in it he acknowledged that tough times lie ahead. CNBC obtained the memo.

“I wish I could tell you that the hardest part is behind us; that closing the deal was the finish line, rather than just the next milestone,” he said. “What lies ahead is the challenging work of uniting our businesses to create a dynamic, global entertainment company with the content, the platforms, and the reach to deliver industry-defining experiences that will engage consumers around the world for generations to come.”

Iger went on to say that the “integration process” will affect some business units more than others. “We’ve made many critical decisions already, but some areas still require further evaluation. We may not have answers to all of your questions at this moment, but we understand how vital information is, and we’re committed to moving as quickly as possible to provide clarity regarding how your role may be impacted,” Iger said his note to employees.

Iger said he has a “deep appreciation” for how an acquisition like Disney’s impacts people involved both personally and professionally. “I ask for your continued patience in the days to come as we combine this collection of great assets to create the world’s premier entertainment company,” he said.

As part of Disney’s acquisition of Fox, the House of Mouse gets franchises like Deadpool, X-Men, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and numerous others, as well as a series of TV networks and film studios. Indeed, it is one of the biggest mergers in the history of the entertainment business.

As of September 30, The Walt Disney Company reportedly had more than 201,000 employees, and this was before the Fox deal closed.

Fox will live on in a limited capacity, with a new company–Fox Corporation–operating units such as the Fox News Channel, Fox Sports, and other TV networks.
