New ‘Avengers: Endgame Encore’ Poster Reunites Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Ahead of Doomsday
Few films in Marvel’s history carry the emotional weight of ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ the three-hour conclusion to more than a decade of interconnected storytelling that shattered box office records upon its 2019 release. Seven years later, the film’s legacy remains central to how Marvel Studios thinks about its biggest theatrical events.
That legacy is about to get another spotlight moment. With ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ looming as one of Marvel’s most ambitious crossovers yet, set to hit theaters December 18, the studio has spent the past several weeks building anticipation through an unusual marketing move: bringing ‘Endgame’ itself back to the big screen first.
A striking new poster has now arrived for that re-release, titled ‘Avengers: Endgame Encore,’ confirming the film’s return to theaters on September 25. Illustrated by artist SG_Posters, the artwork brings together the film’s core lineup, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the rest of the surviving team, rendered in a bold red-and-black style that emphasizes their status as the founding heroes of the entire Infinity Saga.
The poster arrives alongside the tagline “Whatever it takes,” a direct callback to one of the film’s most quoted lines, and the message inviting fans to “reassemble the team in theaters” when the re-release opens later this month. That framing positions the Encore screening as far more than a simple nostalgia play, tying the film’s emotional history directly into the buildup for what comes next in the MCU.
The end is only the beginning.

Part of what makes this re-release different from a standard theatrical rerun is the inclusion of additional material connected to ‘Doomsday’ itself, though access to that footage depends heavily on where fans choose to watch. The new content, including a custom introduction and a special end tag, is exclusive to IMAX and Infinity Vision-certified screens, Marvel’s newly introduced Premium Large Format standard built to compete with other premium theatrical experiences.
That distinction has resulted in two separate runtimes for the release. Standard screenings will run three hours, three minutes and three seconds, while IMAX and Infinity Vision presentations stretch slightly longer at three hours, six minutes and fourteen seconds, reflecting the additional footage exclusive to those formats.
Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have made clear that watching the Encore presentation isn’t just a bonus for fans, describing a meaningful link between the events of ‘Endgame’ and what’s coming in ‘Doomsday’ that only becomes clear through the new footage included in premium format screenings. That framing suggests Marvel is treating this re-release less like a simple victory lap and more like a genuine piece of setup for its next major crossover event.
The timing lines up deliberately with ‘Doomsday’s approach, landing roughly twelve weeks before the December release and giving Marvel another opportunity to remind audiences of the emotional stakes established across the Infinity Saga. With Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson and the rest of the original ensemble returning to screens one more time, the Encore release doubles as both a celebration of the franchise’s biggest achievement to date and a strategic lead-in to its next chapter.

Tickets for the September 25 release have already gone on sale, with participating theaters, formats and showtimes varying by market depending on which premium options are available locally. Given how effectively Marvel has leaned into nostalgia throughout this campaign, alongside the promise of genuinely new content tied to ‘Doomsday,’ the re-release looks poised to draw significant turnout from longtime fans eager for one more trip through the story that redefined blockbuster filmmaking.
Are you planning to see ‘Avengers: Endgame Encore’ in theaters before ‘Doomsday’?
