Marvel clearly isn’t finished making us relive one of the MCU’s biggest emotional rollercoasters! ‘Avengers Endgame: Encore’ arrives on Disney+ this November, giving fans another chance to revisit the epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga, but with a few extra surprises thrown in to help set up next month’s ‘Avengers: Doomsday’.
This isn’t simply the original film with a shiny new title slapped on it. The special Encore edition, which returned to cinemas in September, runs approximately four minutes longer than the 2019 blockbuster, featuring additional scenes connecting the two films, alongside updated colour grading. Disney+ has also confirmed that the streaming release includes an exclusive look at ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, making it potentially essential viewing for anyone preparing for Marvel’s next massive crossover.
For those who somehow need reminding, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ picks up after the devastating events of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, which saw Thanos wipe out half of all life in the universe with a snap of his fingers. With the surviving heroes struggling to come to terms with their losses, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes must find a way to undo the damage and bring their loved ones back, leading to one of the biggest showdowns in superhero cinema history.
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo and produced by Kevin Feige, the film has now earned more than $2.9 billion worldwide, cementing its place among the highest-grossing movies ever made.
The Russo brothers are also returning to direct ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, which promises another enormous gathering of Marvel characters. This time, Robert Downey Jr. (‘Oppenheimer’) returns to the MCU, not as Tony Stark, but as the formidable Victor von Doom, aka Doctor Doom. The film will bring together heroes from the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men and beyond as Marvel’s Multiverse Saga heads towards its conclusion.
Alongside the Encore announcement, Disney has released a new TV spot titled ‘Countdown to Doomsday’, taking viewers on a nostalgic trip through the MCU’s biggest moments. There’s also a new poster, while Disney+ has assembled a dedicated ‘Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday’ collection featuring films and series to help fans catch up before the next blockbuster arrives.
Of course, the big question is just how much those new ‘Endgame’ scenes reveal about what’s coming in ‘Doomsday’. Given that Marvel is bringing back the filmmakers responsible for both ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame’, it’s certainly an interesting way to bridge the gap between the Infinity Saga and the next chapter of the MCU.
‘Avengers Endgame: Encore’ premieres Friday, 13th November 2026 on Disney+ UK.
‘Avengers: Doomsday’ premieres in UK cinemas on Wednesday, 16th December 2026, ahead of its US release on Friday, 18th December 2026.
