Avengers: Endgame returns before Doomsday

Marvel Studios will re-release Avengers: Endgame in theatres on September 25, 2026, just under three months before Avengers: Doomsday premieres on December 18, 2026. Both films are directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.

Endgame, which earned nearly $2.8 billion worldwide, featured Robert Downey Jr’s final turn as Tony Stark. Doomsday will see Downey Jr return to the Marvel universe as the villainous Doctor Doom, alongside characters from Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four: First Steps and X-Men.

Production on Doomsday wrapped in 2025. Marvel head Kevin Feige said the theatrical experience was a key reason behind the decision to re-release Endgame.

Rool dated December 15 in the Nintendo Today newsfeed, hinting at potential new content.

Speculation suggests the DLC could introduce characters and elements from Donkey Kong Bananza, including familiar faces like Funky Kong.
