Duration: 185 min

Released September 25, 2026 3h 5m

A theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame, timed just ahead of Doomsday. Every screening includes an exclusive look at Avengers: Doomsday, and IMAX and Disney's new Infinity Vision format add an extra sneak peek on top of it. The Russo brothers have called the new material a bridge into Doomsday, though Marvel has not said exactly what it shows. The story itself is unchanged: if you've already seen Endgame, you already know it.

How to watch Block out just over 3 hours. Same story as Avengers: Endgame — every screening adds a look at Doomsday, and IMAX and Infinity Vision screens add an extra sneak peek.
