Extended version of “Avengers: Endgame” gets digital release

The re-release is four minutes longer than the original.

On November 13, “Avengers: Endgame — Encore” was released on Disney+. Before reaching the streaming service, the updated version managed to return to the big screens: the theatrical re-release brought the film $126 million worldwide. This amount was enough to increase the total box office gross of “Endgame” to $2.9255 billion and reclaim its title as the highest-grossing film in history — a record the movie originally set in 2019, but lost to “Avatar” in 2021 following another re-release of James Cameron’s film.

The updated version of “Endgame” received new color grading, an altered opening, and an additional post-credits scene that serves as a bridge to the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday”. Meanwhile, the film’s total runtime increased by only four minutes.

“Avengers: Doomsday” will be released worldwide on December 18, 2026. Unofficial screenings in Russian cinemas are expected after January 14, though there are currently no specific dates or confirmed details about them taking place.
