Endgame Box Office Return
Avengers Endgame Re-release Tops Box Office With New Footage Connecting To Doomsday
Anonymous
The theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame returned to the top of the box office, outperforming new releases with added footage that connects the film to Avengers: Doomsday. The new scene features Loki offering help to Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter; the Russo brothers said it reframes Steve’s ending and confirmed Hulk’s return. Doomsday teasers and Joe Russo’s comments also spotlight Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, who is expected to face Doctor Doom, though speculation about Thor’s fate remains unconfirmed. The added Loki connection helped propel the Loki series to the top of Disney+’s global streaming chart. The altered ending has sparked debate about whether changing established stories to set up sequels weakens the finality of earlier MCU films.
Key Points
1
The re-release contains four new scenes, and the Russo brothers said they recreated the original lighting, lenses and sets so the new footage would fit naturally with scenes shot years earlier.
2
The new footage builds on Loki’s Disney+ story: the series begins after he escapes with the Tesseract in 2012, and ends with him becoming the God of Stories to hold the multiverse’s timelines together.
3
Hawkeye is the only original Avenger the ScreenRant article identifies as unaccounted for in the Doomsday discussion; it also notes that the full film cast has not yet been revealed.
4
Joe Russo’s comments, as reported by CinemaBlend, suggest Thor’s Doomsday characterization will combine the hero’s earlier seriousness with the more comedic side developed in later films.
