Endgame Encore Post-Credits Scene Teases Doom's Next Move
Avengers: Endgame Encore adds new footage linking to Avengers: Doomsday, including a post-credits scene where Bruce Banner is imprisoned and taken by a mysterious intruder.
Marvel's re-release of Avengers: Endgame, titled Avengers: Endgame Encore, includes several minutes of new footage designed to connect the film to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. According to ScreenRant, the added material builds a bridge between the two Avengers chapters.
The Encore version features a new post-credits scene set after the Hulk storyline of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In it, Bruce Banner is imprisoned deep beneath the Earth's surface, working on a gamma ray suppressor meant to prevent his transformation into the Hulk.
Banner is then taken away by a mysterious intruder. Only the intruder's voice is heard, and a Latverian rune is visible — a detail that implies Doctor Doom has taken Bruce Banner.
The scene also re-establishes the Hulk and Bruce Banner as rival alters, with the Hulk going on a rampage after Banner locks him down. Meanwhile, the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday shows Doctor Doom blocking Stormbreaker.
The next Avengers film is titled Secret Wars.
