In a bid to reignite anticipation for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films, Marvel Studios is set to re-release Avengers: Endgame in theaters this September. The highly successful blockbuster, directed by the Russo Brothers, will hit screens seven years after its original release, sandwiched between Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The re-release comes as the film seeks to surpass Avatar, which reclaimed its title as the highest-grossing film after a series of re-releases. With a worldwide gross of $2.8 billion, Avengers: Endgame is just $126 million short of Avatar's total. If the re-release is as financially successful, it could not only dethrone Avatar but also become the first film to reach a $3 billion global box office. Featuring an ensemble cast, including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson, Avengers: Endgame has become a beloved classic in the MCU. With the re-release on the horizon, fans are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to experience the film once again on the big screen. The Russo Brothers, who are also directing Avengers: Doomsday, made the announcement on their joint Instagram account, saying, "We can't wait to share this with you on the big screen again... Avengers: Endgame is back in theaters September 2026.
