Director Joe Russo has confirmed the upcoming Avengers: Endgame re-release will include new footage that is “critical” to the story of Avengers: Doomsday.
As reported by Deadline, the filmmaker, one half of the directing duo that is Joe and Anthony Russo, teased some of what Marvel fans can expect from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) Infinity Saga-ending re-release during a conversation at the Sands Film Festival. The update arrived after Disney confirmed plans to include new footage last week.
Instead of tacking on a previously unseen clip or behind-the-scenes videos from Endgame, Joe Russo said the new footage is set around the story of Doomsday. It’s for this reason, he said, that it is vital to bring Endgame back to theaters ahead of Victor Von Doom’s arrival later this year.
“It’s critically important to re-release the movie, and, in fact, we’ll be re-releasing the film with footage that is set in the Doomsday story that we have added to Avengers: Endgame,” Joe Russo said.
