Overview
- Marvel released an Endgame: Encore trailer and put tickets on sale on Tuesday as part of a campaign that reopens the 2019 film in theaters on September 25.
- Theatrical listings show a 185-minute runtime, four minutes longer than the original film, but Marvel has not confirmed whether that time is new Endgame material, Doomsday preview footage, or a mix.
- Disney introduced Infinity Vision, a new premium-large-format certification, and confirmed IMAX and Infinity Vision audiences will get an additional sneak peek of Avengers: Doomsday.
- Directors Joe and Anthony Russo and Marvel president Kevin Feige have framed Encore as a deliberate bridge into Doomsday and described the presentation as important viewing for following the next film.
- Doomsday is due December 18 and is promoted as a major crossover that reunites Avengers with Fantastic Four and familiar X‑Men figures, making Encore both a marketing push and a way to prime audiences for the next chapter.
