Avengers Endgame: Encore is coming home. The re-release of Avengers: Endgame arrives on Disney+ on Friday, November 13, seven weeks after it opened in theaters.
The date is listed on the Encore’s Disney+ page, which calls the film the epic conclusion to the Infinity Saga and lists Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson at the top of the cast. If you do not already subscribe, Disney+ plans on that page start at $11.99 a month.
What Encore Did In Theaters
Encore opened at No. 1 in North America over the September 25 to 27 weekend with about $26 million, and we covered how Encore opened to $26 million and beat Revenge of the Sith’s re-release. It opened to an estimated $86 million worldwide that weekend.
The run did more than set re-release records. In early October it pushed Avengers: Endgame back past Avatar to become the highest-grossing movie of all time again.
The theatrical version added footage to the original film. Audiences in IMAX and Infinity Vision auditoriums saw about five minutes of extra material, compared with about two minutes on standard screens, and the release came with an extended look at Avengers: Doomsday attached.
What We Do Not Know Yet
The Disney+ listing does not say which cut is streaming, so it is not clear yet whether the added footage, or the Doomsday look, will be part of the Disney+ version. The original Avengers: Endgame has been on Disney+ since 2019, so the extras are what is new here.
We will know for sure once it goes live on Friday, and we will follow up on what made it in. If the new material is there, it gives fans a chance to rewatch it at home before Avengers: Doomsday reaches theaters on December 18. Doomsday will be the first new Avengers movie in seven years, since Endgame opened in April 2019.
A Big Week For Marvel On Disney+
Encore lands right after the VisionQuest finale, which wrapped up the series on Disney+ this week and ended with a post-credits scene pointing toward Doomsday. Between the two, Disney+ is the place to catch up on where the Avengers have been before they assemble again.
