So far only 2 Avengers movies have been released
Avengers Assemble and more recently Avengers: age of Ultron. There are other
movies scheduled for the Avengers franchise like Avengers infinity wars part 1
and part 2.
This post will be mainly focused on giving you a
brief explanation on the movies in the Avengers franchise.
Avengers
Assemble
Overview:
After the Tesseract (one of the
infinity gems) was stolen by Thor’s(an Asgardian prince) evil brother
Loki, S.H.I.E.L.Ds(international counter terrorism and
espionage unit) director Nick Fury decides he needs to assemble “earth’s
mightiest heroes. Tony Stark (Iron man), Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Hawkeye
and Black widow. But (expectedly) this doesn’t go so well, as we are shown the
god of thunder (Thor) battling it out with Iron man before they are even asked
to be a team. They realise this brawl allowed Loki to slip away. Now Loki armed
with his new powers opens a portal and uses an army of Chitauri (an alien race) to declare war on earth. Using team
work, and a heroic bit of self-sacrifice from Tony Stark(he pushes the rocket through the portal with himself still attached to
it), they defeat the monstrous aliens and save the earth, setting us up
for more adventures to come.

Avengers
Overview:
Age of Ultron starts off with the whole team fighting Hydra
agents to get the Chitauri sceptre which contains the mind stone (one of the
infinity stones). They capture it after taking a beating from the twins, Pietro
and Wanda Maximoff, two of Struckers experiments. However Tony and Bruce decide
that they want to build Ultron a guardian for Earth. This goes wrong when
Ultron comes to life and kills Jarvis. He then attacks the avengers during a
party. This results in some distrust in the team. Ultron runs off and recruits Pietro
and Wanda Maximoff. He uses the mind stone to build himself a new and upgraded
body. The avengers intercept him and he is forced to pause his transfer. After
the avengers take back the mind stone still contained in the new body Ultron
originally wanted to be transferred to. Tony and Bruce decide again to try and
build Ultron. Cap convinces Pietro and Wanda to join them to stop Ultron they
agree to him after Wanda saw into Ultron’s mind and saw the destruction he
would cause. Cap learns of Tony and Bruce’s plans and tries to stop them but
this only results in a fight between Tony, Bruce, Hawkeye and the Captain,
Pietro, Wanda. Thor interrupts them and brings the creature to life later known
as Vision. They team up and attack the base were Ultron is and free Black
Widow. During their fight Pietro dies while saving Hawkeye. Vision and Ultron
