The upcoming re-release of Avengers: Endgame will coincide with the debut of two flashy new popcorn buckets.
In 2019, Avengers: Endgame was released, but this was just before the big popcorn bucket craze. Now, every movie needs to have an absurd, expensive popcorn bucket themed after something in the film. The upcoming re-release of the MCU film will allow fans the chance to purchase an Iron Man helmet popcorn bucket or one based on Iron Man’s version of the Infinity Gauntlet, which he uses to sacrifice himself and kill Thanos. The Iron Man helmet also projects a message that reads, “I love you 3,000.”
Tickets are now on sale for the Avengers: Endgame re-release. The film hits theaters on September 25 and will include roughly five minutes of new footage, which will lead directly into Avengers: Doomsday. Marvel is keeping a tight lid on what exactly this new footage will feature, but it may introduce Doctor Doom or tee up what happens with Captain America after his “happy ending” in Endgame. Chris Evans is set to reprise his role as Steve Rogers in Doomsday and most likely Avengers: Secret Wars, as well.
Marvel is also boasting its new “Infinity Vision” branding for the re-release of Endgame. Avengers: Doomsday will not be getting an IMAX release when it debuts in December, so Marvel and Disney created a marketing initative known as Infinity Vision which will help promote the most “ideal” theaters for the film. It’s not a new format, but a certification that elevates auditoriums that meet a quality standard held by Disney and Marvel.
Avengers: Endgame’s re-release will allow fans to take advantage of Infinity Vision screens, but it will be released in IMAX, too. There’s a chance that Doomsday will still get an IMAX release, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day got a delayed IMAX release and it wasn’t promoted ahead of time. It led to viewers going back for repeat viewings, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Doomsday employs a similar strategy in early 2027, once Dune’s IMAX exclusivity is over.
