So, Joe Russo shared that the Avengers: Endgame re-release this fall has new footage set within the Doomsday story that helps bridge the two together https://comicbook.com/movies/news/7-years-later-marvel-is-officially-changing-avengers-endgame-because-of-doomsday-so-you-need-to-see-it-again/

I get why they're doing this. It's an easy way to drum up interest in the Endgame re-release. But I'm hoping the extra footage is eventually added as a bonus on Disney+ or something because I'm not sure I want to plan a trip to the theater around a 3+ hour movie I can watch at home just to see some extra nuggets. Was wondering how everyone else felt on that front.

This whole thing reminds me of the Big Bang Theory episode where they go to see the "extended version" of Raiders of the Lost Ark with 21 seconds of additional footage.

Nay.

I have yet to watch Avengers: Endgame again in its entirety since I first saw it in theaters, so this won't be enough to get me to rewatch it anyway. Agree with you in that I hope they release the extra footage on Disney+ or on YouTube at some point.

Nay. I saw it a couple of times in theaters when it released, I own it on Blu-ray, I have Disney+... I'm not paying for it again! Also just not really a fan of them adding scenes to the movie that wrapped up their Infinity Saga in order to set up a movie that was never planned when it was made. You know what else could've created a bridge to Doomsday? The fucking 14 movies and 18 TV shows you've released in "The Multiverse Saga"

I know that in my house, my partner will go to see it because that's who he is, but when even he was complaining that this feels like a blatant cash grab, it sets off all kinds of alarm bells for me.

Frankly, I didn't even enjoy Endgame so for me it's a giant nay (I'm also not convinced the Russos ever had a coherent plan for anything and there's no way they had one for Doomsday so that's just an extra reason for my nay.)

I'll just wait for the new scenes to be released. I'm sure they're cool, but I don't think I could justify paying to watch it in theatres again, unless the kids want to go.

If I find out they add an actual explanation / epilogue to the Steve Rogers time travel arc I’ll go see it. Just to pretend I’m in variant timeline‘s 2019, if only for a few hours. 🫥

I do think it’s a blatant cash grab because people romanticize the theatrical experience of Endgame so much. I just hope the added footage doesn’t change anything in between endgame and doomsday for the sake of making doomsday make more sense

The added footage would need to be more than just a minute or two for me to even consider it, which means I doubt I'm going 😂

Oh, it's a pure cash grab. I will go, but on my limitless ticket lol.

It's probably 21 seconds of new footage 😅

I feel like that's being generous. It's probably 10 seconds and only if you squint.

It would be hilarious if one of the additions was watching the Watcher's face observing events :P

I would probably miss it when the kids make me get more popcorn 😂

Having digested this for a few days, I’m actually in. I only saw Endgame at a critics’ screening, never got to see it with an actual crowd (2nd kid was an infant; movies didn’t get repeat viewings again until 2022).

I think that climax will be just as transcendent now in the theater - if only for the nostalgia of that great feeling, before everything went to sht. I won’t lie: I kinda need it to get me MCU hyped again.
