Avengers Endgame: Encore Gets November 2026 Disney+ Streaming Date

Avengers: Doomsday is roughly a month away, and Disney has announced that Avengers Endgame: Encore is coming to Disney Plus.

Encore is a recut version of Avengers: Endgame that adds scenes connected to Doomsday. It was released in theaters on Sept. 25 and grossed $142.9 million, bringing Endgame’s total to $2.942 billion and making it the highest-grossing film of all time.

Endgame and James Cameron’s Avatar have traded the box office crown over the years. The original 2019 release of Endgame overtook Avatar, but an Avatar re-release in 2021 temporarily returned Cameron’s film to the top spot.

Fans who missed Encore in theaters can watch it on Disney Plus on Nov. 13.

What’s different in Avengers Endgame: Encore?

Encore adds four scenes and four minutes to the runtime: an extended ending, two mid-credits scenes and a post-credits sequence. Spoilers follow.

In the extended ending, a version of Loki visits Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter and promises to help them. The visit likely explains why Captain America will appear in Doomsday, despite seemingly living a happy life with Peggy in the past.

In one mid-credits scene, Bruce Banner is isolating himself in a military complex after an “incident,” presumably a reference to the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. As Banner experiments with a way to suppress the gamma radiation in his body, Doctor Doom teleports him out of his cell. The scene also addresses a mystery from Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

The second mid-credits scene builds on the TV series Loki. Time Variance Authority employees Ouroboros, Casey and Mobius M. Mobius see that the alternate universes Earth-10005 and Earth-1127 are about to collide. Further overlaps reveal that the multiverse is collapsing.

In the final post-credits scene, the sound of metal being hammered during the credits is revealed to be Doctor Doom forging his mask.

The added scenes help set up Avengers: Doomsday, which had less buildup than previous Avengers films. Several films leading up to Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame established Thanos as an antagonist and teased the Infinity Stones, while Doomsday came together more hastily.

In 2022, Disney announced that the next Avengers film would be subtitled The Kang Dynasty. The concept was scrapped after Jonathan Majors, who played Kang, was found guilty of assault and harassment charges. In 2024, Marvel revealed that the next Avengers film would instead center on Doctor Doom.

Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on Dec. 18.
