Avengers: Endgame Encore Hits Disney+ Nov. 13, a Month Before Doomsday
Whatever it takes, including a second trip through the snap.
The version of Avengers: Endgame that took back the box office crown is coming home. Avengers: Endgame Encore starts streaming on Disney+ on Friday, November 13, according to CBR. That gives fans about a month to catch up before Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters on December 18.
Encore lands right after the VisionQuest finale, which makes Disney+ the place to be for Marvel fans this week. Screen Rant also reported the date.
What is Avengers: Endgame Encore?
Encore is an updated cut of the 2019 movie with four new scenes that bridge into Avengers: Doomsday. It runs 185 minutes, or four minutes longer than the original, according to tbreak. The new footage was reportedly shot during Doomsday's production. The original Endgame already ran just over three hours, so Encore is the longest version of the movie that has ever been released.
Co-director Joe Russo called the release "an opportunity to create a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday in a very unique way." If you want to go in fresh, it's best to avoid the scene breakdowns online until you've watched it.
How did Endgame Encore do at the box office?
It did big numbers for a movie that was already seven years old. Encore opened in theaters on September 25, debuted at number one in North America with $26 million, according to Cosmic Book News, and made about $86 million worldwide, per CBR. That run pushed Endgame past Avatar to become the highest-grossing movie of all time again, according to SYFY.
Will the Disney+ version have every new scene?
That's the one open question. Some theaters showed an extra tag that was only on Infinity Vision and IMAX screens, according to ComicBookMovie.com, and Disney hasn't said whether the streaming version will include it. We'll update this post once Encore is live on Disney+.

My read is that putting Encore on Disney+ a month before Doomsday is the smartest move Marvel has made in a while. Endgame is still the movie that made people care about the MCU, and four minutes of new footage is a perfect excuse to watch it again. The only thing that would make it better is that IMAX tag showing up on streaming. (We already have tissues ready for the portals scene. Again.)
