Overview
- Marvel reopened Avengers: Endgame in late September under the title Avengers: Endgame: Encore with a few minutes of newly filmed material intended to lead into Avengers: Doomsday.
- Encore delivered a strong box‑office lift, with industry estimates reporting about $86 million globally for the reissue and pushing Endgame’s lifetime total closer to the all‑time record.
- The added footage is presented as four brief bonus and post‑credit scenes that foreground a collapsing multiverse and highlight Doctor Doom and Loki/TVA elements without being promoted as scenes that will appear in Doomsday itself.
- Disney is showing the complete set of Encore extras in premium formats—Infinity Vision and IMAX—while standard screenings omit some of the new material, a move that has raised questions about unequal access to key connective footage.
- Marvel and the Russo brothers say Encore is a theatrical bridge to Doomsday, Disney plans a later Disney+ release of Encore, and Infinity Vision Doomsday tickets are already on sale in some markets such as Singapore.
