Camp Lehigh, New Jersey, 1970įorced to find the Space Stone elsewhere, Iron Man and Captain America travel to the place and time where they know S.H.I.E.L.D. The imprisoned Loki takes advantage of the double confusion, grabs the Tesseract and simply disappears, causing all sorts of timeline confusion at the same time. He stumbles into a disguised 2023 Iron Man, causing the present-day Avenger to fumble the briefcase. Only 2012 Hulk is a much less civilized creature than the 2023 version and he's pissed because he was forced to take the stairs. They cause 2012 Iron Man to have a heart hiccup and take advantage of the confusion to grab the aluminum briefcase carrying the stone.
While 2023 Captain America faces his 2012 self - knowing full well how hard he can fight - Iron Man and Ant-Man devise a ploy to get their hands on the Tesseract ( Space Stone). Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) y Captain America/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). but like Hulk he just has to say the right words: "Hail HYDRA." Cap looks like he's about to get a do-over of the infamous elevator moment on Captain America: The Winter Soldier. operatives including Brock Rumlow (Frank Grillo) are actually HYDRA double agents. But following the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Cap now knows what he didn't then: that S.H.I.E.L.D. In 2012, the Avengers gave it to S.H.I.E.L.D. Loki is already in custody so present-day Captain America heads to Stark Tower to bag the god of mischief's Scepter, which contains the Mind Stone. Meanwhile, Iron Man ( Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America ( Chris Evans, wearing an older version of his suit that does do a lot for his ass) and Ant-Man ( Paul Rudd) deal with the mess Loki ( Tom Hiddleston) created during the earlier film.
In the end, it's as simple as telling the wizard that Doctor Strange actually volunteered it to Thanos because it was the only way.
