Marvel Reissues Avengers: Endgame as Endgame: Encore for September Theatrical Return

Marvel is framing a small amount of new footage as a narrative bridge to December’s Avengers: Doomsday to prime audiences for the next release.

Overview

  • Avengers: Endgame: Encore will return to theaters on September 25, 2026, with Marvel confirming the date and multiple cinemas listing showtimes and ticket sale plans.
  • The reissue’s first trailer reportedly drew about 77 million views in its first 24 hours, a record for a re-release trailer that indicates strong audience interest.
  • Marvel says Encore includes a few minutes of new material and a special end tag meant to link Endgame to Avengers: Doomsday, and directors Joe and Anthony Russo have called the screening “required viewing.”
  • Disney is launching an 'Infinity Vision' premium certification and is promising additional Doomsday preview footage for Infinity Vision and IMAX-certified screens, a move that has prompted pushback from some exhibitors who call the tiering gimmicky.
  • Studios and analysts note the re-release could materially boost Endgame’s totals—current reported grosses are about $2.79 billion worldwide and $858.4 million domestic, meaning Encore needs roughly $42 million in North America to push past $900 million at home.
