'Avengers: Endgame Encore' Page Appears on Disney+

Fans found a listing on Disney+ mentioning the extended re-release of Avengers: Endgame Encore arriving on the streaming platform after its theatrical run. The page already lets subscribers watch the film’s trailer, although Disney has not yet officially confirmed the digital premiere.

Speculation picked up after directors Joe and Anthony Russo said that Endgame is “required viewing” for anyone planning to watch Avengers: Doomsday, which is scheduled for December.

Marvel also confirmed that the four extra minutes in the re-release will be expanded for viewers watching the movie on IMAX screens or with Disney Infinity Vision technology – which means two different versions of Endgame Encore will be in theaters. It is still unknown which one will arrive on Disney+, if either of them does at all.

The villain of the fifth Avengers movie will be Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr., the actor who portrayed the legendary Iron Man in the MCU’s Infinity Saga and now takes on the role of antagonist. Avengers: Doomsday will be directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo (Endgame), with a script by Michael Waldron (Loki) and Stephen McFreely (Endgame).
