DETAILS:
The extended and updated version of Avengers: Endgame, titled Encore, is confirmed for an imminent release on Disney+. The film will premiere as early as this Friday, November 13, according to official listings visible to U.S. subscribers. While a Disney+ arrival for the re-release had been speculated, Marvel held off providing official confirmation to build anticipation for theater viewings.
Encore includes fresh color grading and additional sequences shot during this year's Avengers: Doomsday production. The most notable change is an extended final scene that now features Loki interrupting the happy ending of Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter. Other new scenes include a found footage-style segment featuring Bruce Banner, set after his appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and a scene within the TVA featuring numerous characters from the Loki series. The movie concludes with Doctor Doom forging his own appearance, hinting at future similarities between him and Iron Man.
The additions have been made to tease Avengers: Doomsday, positioning it as an Endgame sequel rather than the beginning of the end for Marvel's Multiverse Saga. With Avengers: Doomsday now just over a month away, the time feels right for Avengers: Endgame Encore to hit Disney+, days after another big Doomsday tease arrived on Disney+ this week via a shocking post-credits scene in the finale of Vision Quest.
