The overwhelming excitement surrounding Avengers Endgame: Encore is a powerful testament to Disney’s unrivaled ability to create epic, enduring stories that fans want to return to again and again.
This special encore presentation also treated fans to an exclusive first look at the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, arriving in theaters December 18. Doomsday is directed by Endgame helmers Anthony and Joe Russo, and sees the return of many familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Robert Downey Jr., not playing his familiar part as Tony Stark/Iron Man, but rather in the new role of Doctor Doom.
Avengers Endgame: Encore features exclusive new footage that directly sets up Doomsday. “We weren’t going to mess with what that movie is,” Endgame and Doomsday co-director Anthony Russo told Marvel.com of the new additions. Instead, the new scenes add depth to the Avengers’ story — while teasing what lies ahead in Doomsday.
And fans of Marvel have plenty more to look forward to, as the studio continues to expand its storytelling universe across not only the next generation of interconnected stories and characters, but also across streaming, products, and experiences at Disney parks, resorts, and cruise ships around the world.
