Avengers Release Conquers Disney+ Ahead of Doomsday With Global Streaming Surge

A year building toward Doomsday

Marvel Studios’ 2026 slate included Wonder Man, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Daredevil: Born Again season 3 and VisionQuest. Phase 6 is still underway, with attention set to turn to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Earlier this fall, Avengers Endgame: Encore returned to theaters for a limited run. The release brought the 2019 film back to the big screen and added scenes tied to the next ensemble movie from Anthony and Joe Russo.

Encore leads Disney+ charts

The extended cut arrived on Disney+ on Friday, November 13. After one day, it had reached the No. 1 spot among streaming films on the service, and it was still leading the United States chart at the time of reporting.

FlixPatrol reported the film at No. 1 on Disney+ in Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, Iceland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Luxembourg, Romania, Albania, Estonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Latvia, Montenegro, Serbia and Liechtenstein. It also led the Top 10 movies in England.

Added scenes set up storylines

The additional ending and post-credits scenes establish connections to Doomsday, including Robert Downey Jr.’s role as Victor von Doom. The extended film also shows where Bruce Banner ended up before the antagonist collected him, following Hulk’s outcome in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Doomsday is confirmed to bring back Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. In a new Encore scene, a former supervillain visits the couple and tells them how he can help.

An incursion and returning mutants

The new footage also shows the Time Variance Authority witnessing an incursion between Earth-10005 and Earth-1127. Earth-10005 is identified as the world of Fox’s X-Men. The scene points toward the mutants’ return in Doomsday, where several cast members are reprising their roles.
