Overview
- Joe Russo has confirmed that Marvel will rerelease Avengers: Endgame with new footage set in the Doomsday story to create a deliberate link to the upcoming Avengers film.
- Multiple outlets reported on July 19 that a high-profile leaker describes the Encore as including a new intro, several bonus scenes and an extended ending that makes the film about seven minutes longer, though those specifics remain unconfirmed by Marvel.
- Marvel has scheduled the Endgame Encore rerelease for September 25 and still plans to release Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, establishing a clear theatrical timeline for the two films.
- The rerelease is part of a wider marketing push that includes early premium-ticket sales and promotion of Disney's Infinity Vision screen certification as the studio positions Doomsday for large-format and premium exhibition.
- Because Endgame was one of the biggest box-office hits and the Russos are directing Doomsday, the Encore aims to refresh audience memory, drive ticket demand for both films, and give Marvel a controlled way to preview the next chapter without issuing a standalone trailer.
