Avengers: Endgame Encore Adds Four Minutes Before Doomsday
Avengers: Endgame is coming back to theaters in a special re-release.
It will include four extra minutes of footage.
The new scenes are meant to connect Endgame to the next Avengers movie.
That next movie is called Avengers: Doomsday.

The re-release is being called a “critical companion story.”
It will be shown in theaters starting September 25.
Avengers: Doomsday is expected to arrive in December.
Avengers: Endgame Encore will return to theaters on September 25.
