A streaming release date has finally been confirmed for Avengers Endgame: Encore – the recently released extended edition of the hit 2019 superhero movie – and fans don't have long to wait at all.

The movie will arrive on Disney+ tomorrow (Friday 13 November 2026) less than two months after its cinema debut and just over one month ahead of the hotly-anticipated release of Avengers: Doomsday next month.

The new version of the film has already seen the closing chapter of the Infinity Saga leapfrog Avatar to take back its position as the highest-grossing film of all time, and it seems likely many more fans will now be feasting on the bonus material in preparation for Doomsday.

The re-release includes 4 minutes of new footage that was shot during production on Doomsday and is intended to serve as a bridge to the new film – with Robert Downey Jr appearing in his new villainous role as Doctor Doom.

Meanwhile, the closing chapter of TV show VisionQuest also recently included a new tease for Doomsday with a major MCU twist in its final episode.

Doomsday is due for release on Wednesday 16 December and sees directing duo Joe and Anthony Russo return to the helm, with a hugely star-studded cast all set to reprise their iconic MCU roles.

Of course, as is always the way with Marvel, not too many details have been made clear about exactly what we can expect from the epic film – although we do know that various groups of recently introduced superheroes will be teaming up to take on Doctor Doom.

The official synopsis reads: "As a new existential threat emerges, courageous teams from three universes must come together to prevent a catastrophic event.

"The Avengers, the New Avengers, the Wakandans, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men will need to put aside their suspicions of each other to work together against a force more powerful than any of these groups have faced before.

"Their choices and actions in this crucial moment will lay the foundation for the future of the Multiverse."

Whatever happens, it looks certain to be another box office hit for the studio, after Spider-Man: Brand New Day saw a return to the kind of grosses the MCU was used to in its heyday.

Avengers: Doomsday releases on 16 December.
