The extended cut of Avengers: Endgame, called Avengers: Endgame Encore, is streaming exclusively on Disney+ from Friday, November 13, 2026, according to ComingSoon, Collider and FlickDirect. It arrives five weeks before Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters on December 18, 2026.
What is different in the Encore cut
All three outlets report the same additions:

- Extra footage: approximately four minutes of additional material, per FlickDirect. Collider lists the runtime of the updated cut at 185 minutes.
- Updated color grading across the film.
- Scenes that connect the film to Doomsday, including what ComingSoon describes as an extended first look at the new movie.
Collider reports that the Encore version returned to theaters on September 25, 2026, and, as a reported figure, opened to an estimated $86 million worldwide. ComingSoon says the re-release helped the film reclaim the top box office spot from Avatar. Those figures come from the outlets, not from a studio statement we could open.
The Doomsday tie-in
Marvel Studios released a new “Countdown to Doomsday†TV spot and poster ahead of the Disney+ debut, as all three outlets note. FlickDirect adds that Disney+ is also promoting a curated “Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday†collection of Marvel films and series, which is separate from the Encore cut. If you want a viewing order of your own, see our guide to what to watch before Avengers: Doomsday.
Collider also lists a companion podcast: a five-episode series hosted by Iman Vellani and Frank Alvarez that revisits the Infinity Saga films. Its final episode, on Endgame, was released when the film returned to theaters.
What we know about Doomsday itself
Screen Rant lists the film as directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, with Robert Downey Jr. playing Doctor Doom, a listed runtime of 165 minutes and a PG-13 rating. It opens on December 18, 2026, against Dune: Part Three, with Avengers: Secret Wars to follow on December 17, 2027.

What is not clear
- Regions: none of the three reports says in which countries the Encore cut will stream, so check your own Disney+ catalogue.
- The new scenes: the reports describe the Doomsday connection only in general terms. Marvel has not published a scene list in the sources we opened, so anything more specific is not confirmed.
- Runtime: Collider lists 185 minutes, while ComingSoon and FlickDirect do not give a total.
