Five years after it first debuted in theaters, Avengers: Endgame is getting a re-release – and a new version of the movie is hitting the big screen, featuring brand-new footage from Avengers: Doomsday.
“It’s critically important to re-release the movie, and, in fact, we’ll be re-releasing the film with footage that is set in the Doomsday story that we have added to Avengers: Endgame,” co-director Joe Russo said during an appearance at Sands Film Festival (via Deadline).
“It’s an opportunity to create a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday in a very unique way, and because the movie was so successful, we have an opportunity to re-release it,” he continued. “You don’t always get the chance to re-release because it costs money, so the fact that we can enhance the story of Doomsday by bridging it to Endgame and these characters that we worked with for years that we love so much, and continue their story: It’s a really unique opportunity.”

Russo added that the re-release was a “critical companion story” and a “setup for what you’re gonna watch in December when you see Avengers Doomsday.”
