Marvel fans can revisit one of the biggest superhero movies of all time as Avengers Endgame: Encore begins streaming on Disney+ on Friday, November 13, 2026. The updated edition brings additional footage and new visual changes to the 2019 blockbuster.
The streaming release gives audiences another opportunity to watch the Avengers’ battle against Thanos before Marvel Studios releases Avengers: Doomsday in December. The special edition includes four new scenes directly connected to the upcoming superhero film.
According to TVLine’s November 13 streaming schedule, Avengers Endgame Encore is available on Disney+ from 3 a.m. Eastern Time. The release is part of Marvel’s wider promotional campaign leading up to its next major Avengers movie.
The new edition is an extended version of Avengers: Endgame, which originally premiered in theaters in April 2019. It runs approximately four minutes longer than the original theatrical cut and includes additional material designed to connect the Infinity Saga with the next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel has also introduced updated color grading, giving the familiar movie a refreshed visual presentation. The additional scenes are among the biggest attractions for longtime fans who have already watched the original film multiple times.
The story follows the surviving Avengers after Thanos wipes out half of all life across the universe. Five years after the devastating event, the heroes discover an opportunity to reverse the damage and attempt to bring back everyone they lost.
The team brings together familiar characters, including Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Thor, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton and Scott Lang. Their mission eventually leads to a final confrontation with Thanos, bringing the Infinity Saga to its emotional climax.
Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark, while Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers. The cast also includes Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd and Brie Larson.
The new footage is particularly important because it establishes additional connections with Avengers: Doomsday. Marvel is using the Encore edition to build anticipation for the next major crossover, which is scheduled to reach theaters on December 18, 2026.
The upcoming movie will introduce Robert Downey Jr. in a different Marvel role as Doctor Doom. His return has generated significant interest because audiences previously knew him primarily as Iron Man.
The September 2026 theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame Encore also attracted considerable attention. The updated edition reportedly earned approximately $86 million worldwide during its opening weekend, giving the blockbuster another successful run at the global box office.
The original film earned more than $2.7 billion worldwide during its initial theatrical release. Combined with the Encore re-release, its worldwide box office total has approached $3 billion, further strengthening its position among cinema’s biggest commercial successes.
Disney+ is positioning the movie within its Countdown to Avengers: Doomsday collection, which brings together selected Marvel films and series for viewers preparing for the December release.
The collection gives fans an opportunity to revisit important events and characters from previous MCU stories before the next Avengers adventure arrives in theaters.
For viewers who missed the September theatrical screenings, the November 13 streaming release offers another chance to experience the extended edition at home. The original storyline remains familiar, but the additional scenes provide new material connecting the film to Marvel’s upcoming cinematic plans.
