'Avengers: Endgame' to Have a Re-Release in 2026 Before 'Avengers: Doomsday' (Exclusive)

Marvel Studios is bringing Avengers: Endgame back to theaters on September 25, 2026 as a lead-up to the December 18 release of Avengers: Doomsday. The duration of this re-release has not been confirmed, but it aims to reignite excitement among fans and moviegoers.

Doomsday will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the same duo behind Endgame, and marks the return of Robert Downey Jr., now taking on the role of the classic villain Doctor Doom. The re-release of Endgame is expected to remind audiences of the creative impact of the directors and the magnetic draw of the star-studded cast.

The upcoming film will feature characters from franchises like Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four: First Steps, and X-Men, expanding the Marvel cinematic universe even further.

Originally released on April 26, 2019, Endgame became a major cultural phenomenon. It ranks as the second highest-grossing film in the U.S. with $858 million, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Globally, it has earned $2.799 billion, second only to Avatar. Its worldwide opening weekend record of $1.2 billion also demonstrates its massive box office appeal.

The re-release is anticipated to boost theater attendance, aligning with Marvels commitment to cinematic experiences. Kevin Feige, Marvels president, emphasized in 2024: We make movies for movie theaters because thats where movies belong. Thats all weve ever done and thats all I hope we ever do.
