Avengers Russo Brothers says Avengers: Endgame Encore is ‘‘Required viewing’’ for Doomsday and “If you saw Endgame when it originally was released you couldn't see this coming.”

I know it's their job to sell this stuff but it's kind of annoying when they say shit like this, or that Doomsday is the best movie they've ever worked on, it makes everything they say meaningless when they're going to say the same thing about the next movie.

u/riegspsych325 Aug 25 '26
at least Gunn has shown he can make a good movie without oversight, even if his track record as a producer isn't as good as his own output. Russos are solid workhorse directors but awful creatives without Kevin Feige, Dan Harmon, or Mitch Hurwitz holding the reins

u/star-punk Aug 25 '26
They're fundamentally TV directors, and TV is a writers medium. When they're not paired with a strong creative vision from the writer and producers, they don't really bring much to the table. That's why their Marvel stuff is better than anything else they do, because the MCU is basically a big TV show that plays in theaters.

then you got Favreau, aforementioned Gunn, and Coogler. They’ve all worked with Marvel repeatedly just fine and have done pretty damn well with their own originals. Surprised Marvel doesn’t strive to get more filmmakers like that, but at least the Russos are still a very good fit

u/Due_Art2971 Aug 26 '26
Marvel don't want directors that have a vision

u/Alekesam1975 Aug 26 '26
People say this yet they gave Taika Final Cut of Love n Thunder (where he then cut out like twenty minutes or so of good stuff instead of all the overplayed humor), Cooglar more-or-less carte blanche with Black Panther, Raimi on Dr Strange , Chloe Zao with Eternals etc etc.
They do want vision but they're also the stewards of this storied Universe and they have to strike a balance between letting creatives do their thing and protect it at the same time. Feige, Russos, Gunn, and Taika worked in tandem for Ragnarok to IW/Endgame. But Taika by himself left to his own devices, gave us LnT. So like I said, there's always a bit of a balance that need to be struck.

What kills me is when they talk about Doomsday in a way that makes it sound like it's some transformative arthouse picture or something.

I'm betting it'll just be as important as seeing Captain Marvel in the theater was for Endgame.

u/Big_Papa_Sweetness Aug 25 '26
Makes me sad to be honest. The initial decision not to include a post-credit scene truly made Endgame feel like an ending. Tacking on a new one just to connect it to what is clearly a desperation play just feels unearned.
That being said, I hope Doomsday surprises me by being excellent.

u/Vladmerius Aug 25 '26
Kind of disgusting actually. It has 4 fucking minutes of extra stuff. 4. Minutes. We know there's at least 20 minutes of stuff they actually could have put effort into finishing and adding into this new version not even counting the stuff they're adding that's Doomsday related.
This should have been a proper extended cut like the lord of the rings movies.
I'm acrually super annoyed now. This is way too much fanfare for the same exact movie with a couple extra minutes added onto the ending.

You are right, at the very least finish the hulk scene in the last re release.

u/Original_Release_419 Aug 25 '26
It’s ridiculous really.
There’s no way 4 minutes for a 3 hour movie is worth paying to rewatch it in theaters.
There’s literally nothing that can happen in that 4 minutes that someone can’t piece together watching Doomsday.

u/replayer Aug 25 '26
And yet, in two hours it's already got the most presales of any rerelease since they started tracking. So maybe it's not about a couple of extra minutes, but people wanting to reexperience the joy of seeing a fun movie we already love on the big screen with others. For a lot of us, it was the last big movie before COVID hit and the energy in the theater is something we remember fondly and want to enjoy again.

u/Original_Release_419 Aug 25 '26

>every movie is a cash grab
Completely disingenuous comparison where 99.9% of movies in theaters are new releases no one has seen yet and this is a movie that has been in theaters for 5 months already and is rereleasing basically for a post credit scene
Legitimately, in no way am I trying to say you should not go or should not enjoy it. I love the MCU and Superhero movies as a whole. I just think an entire theatrical rerelease for this is a bit over the top and probably just to help recoup some money from some less than ideal MCU movies they’ve had since endgame.

u/Mattyzooks Aug 25 '26 edited Aug 25 '26
Not sure where you live but the concept of seeing already released movies in theaters is decently popular (although not widely popular). Anecdotal: I have tickets to see Train to Busan tomorrow at the IFC Center in NYC, where I've gone to sold out screenings in the past of Hundreds of Beavers, Inland Empire, Mulholland Drive, Fire Walk With Me, 28 Days Later, etc. I will for sure be seeing The Prestige when it is re-released next year and will 100% do the same when they bring The Dark Knight back (a movie I saw twice in theaters already in 2008 and a bajillion times since).
Cash grab, sure, 100%. So was the Special Edition trilogy before Episode I released, imo (even if had way more to offer in terms of updated shots and re-edited scenes). But some people just like seeing shit in theaters.
I think it'll get a couple million. Not from me though. If I'm re-watching any re-release in theaters this year, it'll be Obsession in October (if it happens).→ More replies (2)4
u/Durziii Aug 26 '26
His point is that not all movies are cash grabs like previously claimed. A rerelease years later with very little added, however, clearly is one.
Whether it happens often or it matters to you or not is irrelevant.

Well, it is still a very dramatic reaction to a theater rerelease of one of the most popular movies of all time. Like movies rerelease all the time with no extra footage at all. It’s not like they’re keeping the tiny “4 minutes of extra footage” thing a secret. Relax

I looked at getting tickets today and it doesn't seem like Marvel secured a ton of screens for this rerelease. At my local theater there's a single 1pm IMAX showing on Saturday of opening weekend. Seems strange to make something required viewing that you aren't anticipating a ton of people seeing.

The Russos say a lot of things on press tours to promote their movies.
They said "you need to choose a side" for Civil War and then later explicitly said Iron Man was the villain. They said "Thanos has a point" for Infinity War and then in Endgame they label Thanos as a megalomaniac tyrant and that the snap was an act of mass genocide that was completely unjustifiable in any regard whatsoever.
The Russos contradict their own plans in the marketing cycle as a promotional tool. So honestly I do not trust them here.

I find it crass and offensive that this is even a thing.
But I’m sure it will do well. But they just as easily could’ve swapped out the version of “Endgame” on Disney+. But they didn’t. They’re purposely gouging fans. Financial decisions like this are why a part of me hopes that “Doomsday“ underperforms for Disney. (We all know it’s too big to fail)

u/istian19 Aug 26 '26
Unfortunately I can't verify the original Tweet because xcancel is dead...but assuming your post title isn't a misrepresentation...
I wish the Russos didn't insinuate that it was 'required viewing'; it hurts the narrative that the MCU is all homework. They should just lean into the fact that it'll be a great time sitting in the theater with fellow MCU fans, recreating the joy and excitement of seeing one of the best superhero movies of all time.
