Avengers: Endgame Encore, the 185-minute cut that passed Avatar's box office total, streams on Disney+ and JioHotstar from 13 November 2026.
What Happened
Avengers: Endgame Encore, the extended re-release of Marvel's 2019 film Avengers: Endgame, will stream on Disney+ from Friday, 13 November 2026, and on JioHotstar in India on the same day, according to the platforms' announcements. The new cut ran in cinemas from 25 September 2026 and pushed Endgame's worldwide box office past Avatar's. Its arrival on streaming comes about five weeks before Avengers: Doomsday opens in Indian cinemas on 17 December.
Key Facts
- Streaming date: Friday, 13 November 2026, on Disney+ worldwide and on JioHotstar in India, where it will be offered in several languages, including Telugu.
- Runtime: 185 minutes, according to cinema listings, four minutes longer than the original's 181 minutes.
- The Encore cut was released in cinemas on 25 September 2026 for a limited run.
- The re-release opened to about $86 million worldwide, reported as the second-biggest global opening for a re-release, behind the 2012 3D return of Titanic.
- That took Endgame's worldwide total to about $2.925 billion, just ahead of Avatar's $2.923 billion, according to box office reports in October 2026.
- Reports say the new material includes added scenes that give fresh context for Loki and Steve Rogers and hint at a link between Doctor Doom and Iron Man; Marvel has said the new footage ties into Avengers: Doomsday.
Why It Matters
Studios usually treat re-releases as a small extra. Endgame Encore turned into something bigger: a new box office record and a marketing bridge to the next Avengers film. By adding footage that points towards Doctor Doom, the villain of Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel gave fans who already know Endgame by heart a reason to watch it again, first in cinemas and now at home.
For Indian viewers, the same-day JioHotstar release matters. The Telugu option shows the platform is targeting regional-language viewers rather than only English-speaking city audiences. Streaming the extended cut five weeks before Doomsday reaches Indian cinemas also gives audiences time to catch up on the story.
The record itself has a long history behind it. Endgame had held the all-time record before, and Avatar had taken it back with a re-release of its own. The Encore run in 2026 put Endgame on top again, showing how re-releases have become a weapon in the contest for the all-time record.
Peepals calculation: The Encore cut adds 4 minutes to a 181-minute film, about 2% more footage (4 ÷ 181 ≈ 0.022). Endgame's reported lead over Avatar is about $2 million ($2.925 billion − $2.923 billion), less than a tenth of one per cent of its total. The streaming date of 13 November comes 49 days after the 25 September cinema release. Our calculation from the reported figures.
