Marvel Studios has unveiled a significant and nostalgia-driven strategy to build excitement for its colossal upcoming film, Avengers: Doomzday. The plan involves bringing back one of its biggest successes to the big screen ahead of the new release.
According to media reports, the 2019 global blockbuster Avengers: Endgame is scheduled for a re-release on September 25, 2026, aimed directly at boosting fan enthusiasm for Avengers: Doomzday, which is set to arrive later that year. This commitment to prioritizing the theatrical experience comes even as other studios contemplate scaling back cinema releases due to the popularity of OTT platforms.
Avengers: Endgame, which marked the celebrated finale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3, remains the second highest-grossing film in US history.

The new installment, Avengers: Doomzday, is designed as a massive universe-unifying event, set to feature iconic teams such as the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Thunderbolts. The biggest revelation is the return of Robert Downey Jr., the beloved Iron Man, who will join the cast in a surprising new capacity as the villainous Doctor Doom. The film also boasts a strong ensemble cast, including Florence Pugh, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Hemsworth.
Avengers: Doomzday is slated for release on December 18, 2026, with the subsequent film in the series, Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduled for December 2027.
