So, Marvel’s pulling the ol’ cinematic déjà vu card — this time with a rerelease of Avengers: Endgame hitting theaters on September 25, 2026. Yep, just in time to crank up the hype meter for Avengers: Doomsday, landing December 18 that very year. Now, I gotta wonder — with planets aligning in some cosmic lineup that screams “epic showdown,” is this just another marketing masterstroke or a nod to the universe saying, “Brace yourselves, epicness is back”? Because, seriously, it’s like the big cosmic chessboard redecorated by Joe and Anthony Russo themselves, bringing Iron Man’s Robert Downey Jr. back to spice things up as Doctor Doom — talk about a plot twist written in the stars! And while Endgame crushed the box office like a celestial meteor, pulling in billions, this rerelease might just rocket the numbers beyond Pluto— or at least Mars. So buckle up — Marvel’s reminding us why we’re still glued to those galaxy-sized tales on the big screen. LEARN MORE
In the lead-up to the Dec. 18, 2026, release of Avengers: Doomsday, and to hype up the audiences and fans, Marvel Studios will rerelease Avengers: Endgame.
The beloved Avengers feature will be rereleased in theaters on Sept. 25, 2026. It is unclear how long the window will be.
Doomsday is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who directed Endgame and marks the return to Marvel of actor Robert Downey Jr., who famously played Tony Stark/Iron Man over the course of numerous Marvel films. In Doomsday, however, he is playing classic villain Doctor Doom. Releasing Endgame will be a potent reminder of the creative power of the trio, as well as the power of popular actors assembling. The casts of movies such as Thunderbolts*, Fantastic Four: First Steps, X-Men, among others, are slated to appear in the new movie.
Endgame was the second part of an epic story involving the villain Thanos and the culmination of Marvel’s Phase three of its movie release slate.
It is hard to underscore how big a pop culture event the movie became as it won over critics and fans alike. But the numbers help tell the story. First released on April 26, 2019, Endgame is now the second-highest-grossing film of all time domestically, with $858 million, behind only Star Wars: Force Awakens, which grossed $937 million.
It is the second-highest-grossing U.S. film of all time internationally, with $1.941 billion, behind only Avatar’s $2.138 billion. (The Chinese movie Ne Zha 2 is also $2 billion-plus player.) It is the second-highest-grossing film of all time globally, with $2.799 million, behind only Avatar, whose tally is $2.924 million. And it also had the biggest opening weekend of all time globally, with a $1.2 billion debut.
Phew.
Endgame’s rerelease is likely to goose the box office and is in line with the company’s emphasis on theatrical, especially in a time when some companies are looking to potentially limit releases. (The news comes hours after Netflix confirmed an agreement to buy Warner Bros.)
“We make movies for movie theaters because that’s where movies belong,” said Marvel head Kevin Feige at a CinemaCon presentation in April 2024. “That’s all we’ve ever done and that’s all I hope we ever do.”
After the publication of this story, Disney also unveiled more updates to its calendar. Searchlight’s Super Troopers 3 will open Aug. 7, 2026, while a rerelease of Star Wars: A New Hope moves up two months to Feb. 19, 2027, and an untitled The Simpsons movie moves back a few weeks to Sept. 3, 2027.
