Avengers: Endgame Encore will stream on Disney+ this Friday, 13 November. The extended cut adds new footage that leads into Avengers: Doomsday, about a month before the sequel opens in cinemas.
Anyone who skipped the cinema re-release in September can now watch the Doomsday-linked version at home on a subscription they may already pay for. The official Disney+ title page lists it as “Coming to Disney+ November 13, 2026”, rated PG-13. Marvel announced the date on 11 November, and Variety put it “roughly a month before ‘Doomsday’ takes over theatres on Dec. 18.”
Encore runs 185 minutes, about four minutes longer than the 2019 film. Collider says the cut adds revised colour grading and scenes that connect it to Doomsday. The sources don’t say what happens in those scenes. Tbreak’s runtime story in August noted that July rumours had promised seven extra minutes, so the final figure came in shorter.
Nerdist’s Mikey Walsh made the case for watching at home.
We already pay for Disney+. We shouldn’t need a movie ticket to see four extra minutes of a movie we’ve already seen.

The cinema re-release was built to carry Doomsday footage. When Marvel announced it in April, Tbreak reported that the footage was set in the Doomsday story, as Tbreak’s April report set out. Joe Russo has described the re-release as a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday.
The cinema version also had a catch. Everyone got the four minutes of Doomsday-set footage, but a second look played only on IMAX and Infinity Vision screens, as our look at the two Doomsday sneak peeks covered. It’s unclear whether the Disney+ cut includes that second peek. Disney also hasn’t posted an exact release time.
Marvel is also building up to December on Disney+ itself. It released a new “Countdown to ‘Doomsday’” TV spot and poster ahead of the streaming debut, and Disney+ is running a “Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday” collection of earlier MCU films. There’s also a five-episode Countdown podcast, hosted by Iman Vellani and Frank Alvarez, with each episode revisiting one Infinity Saga film.
The original Endgame is already on Disney+, so the service will soon carry both versions side by side.
