Avengers Endgame: Encore will get an imminent Disney+ launch, it’s been confirmed.
The updated and extended version of Avengers Endgame will premiere via Disney+ as soon as this week, on Friday, November 13. That’s according to an official listing now visible to subscribers in the U.S.
While a Disney+ arrival for Endgame’s re-release always seemed likely, Marvel had held off providing official confirmation — likely to drum up more FOMO for audiences to watch in theaters. Indeed, the company also kept exact details of how it had extended Endgame under wraps until the film’s cinematic debut in September — at which point its new scenes promptly leaked online.
Of course, fans have been able to watch Avengers Endgame via Disney’s streaming service for years. But the Encore version is technically new, with fresh color grading and a series of additional sequences shot during the production of this year’s Avengers: Doomsday.
Encore’s most notable change to the original film is its extended version of Endgame’s final scene, which previously concluded with Steve Rogers and Peggy Carters getting an uninterrupted happy ending. In Encore, however, this finale is abruptly halted by the arrival of Loki — seemingly from his time working as a TVA agent.
Other new scenes follow in fresh mid-credits and post-credits additions. This includes a found footage-style scene featuring Bruce Banner, set after his appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and a scene set within the TVA featuring numerous characters from the Loki series.
Finally, the movie now concludes with the original hammering of metal — previously a callback to Tony Stark forging the Iron Man mask — revealed to be Doctor Doom forging his own appearance. It’s a neat tease for any future similarities between the two characters played by Robert Downey Jr.
Of course, these elements have all been added to tease the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday — and position that film primarily as an Endgame sequel rather than what it also is: the beginning of the end for Marvel’s divisive Multiverse Saga.
With Avengers: Doomsday now just over a month away, the time feels right for Avengers Endgame: Encore to hit Disney+. It’ll also arrive just days after another huge Doomsday tease arrived on Disney+ this week via a shocking post-credits scene in the finale of Vision Quest (beware spoilers!)
