The Avengers are assembling yet again. Speaking with ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis during Spider-Man: Far From Home’s London press junket, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed that Avengers: Endgame is returning to theaters with extra footage and “a few surprises.”
At the time, Feige noted that he was unaware if the rerelease had been announced, and seemed to hint that he wasn’t sure how much new footage would be included. What he was certain of was the most important takeaway: Marvel is definitely bringing more Endgame goodness to cinemas. Feige shared additional details about the rerelease in an interview with Screen Rant, explaining that it isn’t an “extended cut.”
What these post-credits surprises could be is anyone’s guess, though we have a few ideas. Perhaps Marvel finally decided to let the entire world see the video of Ant-Man franchise actors Paul Rudd and Michael Peña recapping the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Maybe the surprises will be bloopers, or a clip of Feige sitting down with notoriously loose-lipped stars Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland and giving them a lecture about spoiling movies. It could even be a special message from the massive cast thanking Marvel fans for joining them on the cinematic journey that began back in 2008. The “little tribute” that Feige mentioned is likely one honoring the late Stan Lee, and there probably won’t be a dry eye in the house after it plays out on screen.
The re-release is scheduled to hit theaters on Friday, June 28, and could be either a one-night-only engagement or finish its second run in cinemas by end of day on Sunday, June 30. Why such a short time in theaters? Marvel has another movie to roll out just a few days later: Spider-Man: Far From Home, the much-anticipated Spidey sequel that serves as the official conclusion to Phase 3 of the MCU.
Far From Home is slated to debut on Tuesday, July 2 — only a handful of days after Marvel is putting Endgame back up on the big screen. Bringing the $2-billion-plus-earning superhero ensemble to theaters for another round of showings is one thing, but keeping it there for an extended period of time is another. If the Endgame rerelease carried on into the week of Far From Home’s premiere, it could impact the film’s box office performance. Marvel is a smarter company than that, though, and wouldn’t risk negatively affecting Far From Home’s success just so Avengers could rake in some extra cash. Keep watching the video to see what to expect from the Endgame re-release!
