‘Endgame Encore’ is ‘Required’ to Follow ‘Avengers: Doomsday,’

Do you need to see Avengers Endgame: Encore before you see Avengers: Doomsday? The director of both movies says yes.Obviously he has a financial motivation to tell you that you do. It would be very easy to for most Marvel fans to revisit Avengers: Endgame before Doomsday arrives in theaters at home. Surely they own the film on Blu-ray or 4K, or they subscribe to Disney+, where it is streaming. If not, they could also rent the movie at home for just a couple of bucks.But Marvel is putting Endgame back in theaters next month, with a couple minutes of new footage and some special looks at Doomsday. They’re calling it Avengers: Endgame Encore. And according to Joe Russo — co-director of both films — it is “required viewing” ahead of Doomsday.“It’s going to connect the story of the two movies,” Russo explained in an interview with Fandango.“It’s important to see Endgame again in theaters for two reasons,” he continued. “One, if you want to have a lot of fun cheering and screaming and reliving all the emotions the first time you saw it. Number two, I think it’s required viewing for following the story in Doomsday.”READ MORE: Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie, Ranked From Worst to Bes...
