You mean the movie about how black people shouldn't use their advanced technology to free black people around the globe, so the CIA sends an agent to help them merc the only good guy in all the Marvel movies?

The plot is a really convoluted mess that exists only to show black-on-brown super violence that is resolved via a strange truce between the monarchs of the factions after they spend a long time trying to kill each other. I didn't watch it too closely.
