But when the Silver Surfer arrives to warn Earth of its impending destruction by Galactus, the team must venture beyond the stars, protect their unborn child, and find a way to save Earth – even if it means sacrificing everything.

The plot escalates through teleportation technology, diplomatic missions, the underground realm of Subterranea, and a heartbreaking final stand in Times Square. A sacrifice is made. A mother is resurrected. And a cloaked figure steps into the MCU.
