Overview
- Multiple outlets reported this week that fan-shot clips and attendee descriptions from early international showings circulated online ahead of the Sept. 25 Endgame: Encore re-release.
- Marvel and Disney have moved to remove the material from social platforms and the Russo brothers publicly asked viewers not to reveal the new scenes to preserve the theatrical experience.
- Independent reports say the added Encore footage was created to bridge Endgame to the studio’s December Avengers event, signaling a broader multiverse crisis in the franchise’s upcoming slate.
- The leaks have renewed criticism of tiered preview access after Disney’s announcement of premium Infinity Vision/IMAX variants that will show extra material to some audiences.
- Industry coverage notes the immediate consequences: studios face fresh enforcement and spoiler-management challenges, and fans are urged to avoid sharing unverified clips so wider audiences can see Encore unspoiled.
