Joe Russo Teases ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Re-Release At Sands & Says The Film Will Feature New Footage Set Within The ‘Doomsday’ Narrative: “It’s An Opportunity To Create A Bridge”

Endgame has grossed over $2.799 billion and wrapped up phase three of the Marvel Universe. The film focused on Josh Brolin’s Thanos wreaking havoc across the universe, and the fight to stop him. Some character storylines ended in Avengers: Endgame, including that of Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark/Iron Man. In a multiverse twist, Downey Jr. will return as the villain Dr. Doom in Doomsday.

Joe added that it wasn’t until he and Anthony connected once again with longtime Marvel screenwriter Stephen McFeely that they locked a story structure that allowed for Downey Jr. to return as Dr. Doom.

Avengers: Endgame is the second-highest-grossing MPA film of all time internationally with $1.94B (behind only Avatar‘s $2.138 billion). Avatar remains the highest-grossing movie of all-time with $2.924 billion. Avengers: Endgame also owns the record for the biggest opening ever around the globe with $1.2 billion.
