Disney+ is giving Marvel fans a place to start their rewatch. A new Countdown to Doomsday Collection is now live on Disney+, and a new spot released on Wednesday points fans to it ahead of Friday’s streaming debut of Avengers Endgame: Encore.
The spot, titled “Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday,” runs under Disney+’s “Return to the Universe” banner. Its description opens with a simple line, “Remember what brought us together,” and invites fans to “relive the saga with the Countdown to Doomsday Collection now on Disney+.”
Endgame Encore Streams Friday
Avengers Endgame: Encore arrives on Disney+ on Friday, November 13, and the spot’s description repeats that date. The re-release of the 2019 film, which has grossed more than $2.9 billion worldwide, came to theaters with a first look at Avengers: Doomsday attached. Encore opened at No. 1 in North America over the September 25 to 27 weekend, and its run pushed Avengers: Endgame back past Avatar as the highest-grossing movie of all time. Disney has not said whether the Doomsday footage is part of the streaming version, so that is the first thing fans will check on Friday.
We first reported the date when Disney+ set Endgame Encore for November 13. The new spot and collection turn that date into the start of a five-week runway to the next Avengers movie.
What The Collection Is For
The idea behind the collection is easy to follow. Avengers: Doomsday opens only in theaters on December 18, and the collection is built for fans who want to catch up on the saga before they buy a ticket. Gathering the saga in one spot on Disney+ makes that easier than hunting through the full Marvel library.
The timing lines up with a busy stretch for Marvel on the service. VisionQuest wrapped its season on Tuesday with a post-credits scene that leads directly into Doomsday, and Endgame Encore follows three days later.
Doomsday Is Five Weeks Away
Avengers: Doomsday brings Robert Downey Jr. back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Doom, and it is the first of two new Avengers films, with Avengers: Secret Wars to follow. A new look at the movie is also set to arrive through Empire magazine on Thursday.
For fans planning a rewatch, the math is simple. There are exactly five weeks between the Endgame Encore debut on November 13 and the Doomsday release on December 18, and the collection is now waiting on Disney+ to fill them.
