Endgame Encore lands on Disney+ this Friday

The longer cut of Avengers: Endgame that played in theaters this fall arrives on Disney+ on Friday, November 13, 2026. Marvel confirmed the date this week, while everyone was still talking about the VisionQuest finale. That leaves five weeks before Avengers: Doomsday opens on December 18.

🎬 This story is part of our MCU Hub — the full timeline, the post-credit scene guide and every MCU review.

Why it matters for dads

If you skipped the theatrical run, this is the easy way to see the new material. Disney+ says the added scenes link directly to Doomsday. Joe Russo described the connection to Fandango as “a natural progression from Endgame into Doomsday”. We already covered what the theatrical version adds in our Endgame Encore post-credits explainer. If you want to stay unspoiled until Friday, read it after you watch.

The practical catch is time. At 185 minutes, this is not a school-night movie, even with a pause for pizza. Split it at the time heist if your kids fade, or keep it for a weekend afternoon. The age guidance hasn’t changed: this is still the 12+ film with the emotional finale, not a cartoon.

The Disney+ listing doesn’t say whether the extra Doomsday preview from the IMAX and Infinity Vision screenings is included. We’ll know on Friday. If you’d rather own the 2019 version outright, the Avengers: Endgame 4K disc is the cut that stays on your shelf.

Where it fits before Doomsday

Encore isn’t the only homework that dropped this week. The VisionQuest finale ends with a post-credits scene that pulls the Scarlet Witch into the Doomsday story. Spider-Man: Brand New Day already sent Peter off Earth in its own end credit scene, a direct thread into the same film. Our guide to what to watch before Avengers: Doomsday puts all of it in one order, with a kid rating for every pick. The new date is on our release calendar too.

The Dadnology Take

If an Endgame rewatch was already on your December list, make it this version and do it on Disney+ this weekend. Four minutes of new footage doesn’t make it a new film, but it’s the closest thing to an official Doomsday prologue you can watch at home. Plan a long evening.

When does Avengers: Endgame Encore come to Disney+?

Friday, November 13, 2026, exclusively on Disney+. It is the same longer cut that played in theaters from September 25.

What is new in Avengers: Endgame Encore?

Disney+ describes an updated cut that runs about four minutes longer than the 2019 release, with new color grading and four added scenes that link to Avengers: Doomsday. The listed runtime is 185 minutes, rated PG-13.

Do I need to watch Endgame Encore before Avengers: Doomsday?

Not strictly, but it is the most direct setup Marvel has released. If you already plan an Endgame rewatch before December 18, watch this version instead of the 2019 cut.
