Marvel Studios is gearing up to bring Avengers: Endgame back to the big screen in September 2026, seven years after its historic original run. The news was unveiled by directors Anthony and Joe Russo, who posted the update through their joint Instagram handle, teasing, “Avengers: Endgame is back in theatres September 2026… we can’t wait to share this with you on the big screen again.” The duration of its theatrical window is still under wraps.
This strategic re-release is timed intriguingly between two major 2026 Marvel titles: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, arriving July 31, and Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December 18. Notably, Doomsday is being helmed by the Russo Brothers as well, making the year a heavy one for the directing duo.
First launched on April 26, 2019, Endgame served as the sequel to Avengers: Infinity War and marked the 22nd entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It became a global phenomenon, amassing close to $2.8 billion and briefly holding the title of the world’s highest-grossing film, until Avatar reclaimed the crown through its own series of re-releases.
Currently, Endgame trails Avatar by roughly $126 million on the all-time global box office chart. With James Cameron’s film having earned more than $170 million from re-releases since 2009, Marvel seems to be banking on the possibility that a strong theatrical comeback could push Endgame past Avatar once more and possibly even make it the first movie in history to cross the $3 billion mark.
The ensemble cast of the Russo-directed epic includes Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Bradley Cooper, Josh Brolin, and many more.
