‘Avengers: Endgame’ Will Re-Release With A Deleted Scene, Tribute And ‘Surprises’
“Avengers: Endgame” ended without any post-credits scenes. There was simply the sound of Iron Man’s suit being made as fans saw the Marvel Studios Logo. However, that’s going to change before the movie leaves theaters.
During a press junket for “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige revealed that a new version of the fourth “Avengers” movie will hit theaters soon with extra footage.
“We are doing that,” Feige told ComicBook.com about a re-release. “I don’t know if it’s been announced. And I don’t know how much... Yeah, we’re doing it next weekend.”
He went into more detail with ScreenRant, who revealed that the new footage will be at the end of the “Avengers: Endgame.”
“Not an extended cut, but there will be a version going into theaters with a bit of a marketing push with a few new things at the end of the movie,” Feige said. “If you stay and watch the movie, after the credits, there’ll be a deleted scene, a little tribute, and a few surprises. Which will be next weekend.”
It isn’t clear which deleted scene will be included after the credits, but the directors and writers have spoken about several deleted scenes, including one with an older Morgan Stark (Katherine Langford) and a moment where Thor (Chris Hemsworth) mistakenly thinks Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) is hitting on him.
ScreenRant reports that the new version will hit theaters June 28. That makes sense since it’s right before “Spider-Man: Far From Home” releases on July 2. The movie will deal with the aftermath of “Endgame,” so it’s expected that some fans will see the massive blockbuster again before or after catching the new movie.
The news isn’t surprising to anyone keeping track of “Avengers: Endgame” box office numbers. The movie is close to beating “Avatar” as the highest grossing movie of all time. However, with $2.743 billion, it needs another $45 million to get there.
“Avatar” did the same to get its $2.788 billion. Twentieth Century Fox (which, like Marvel Studios, is now owned by Disney) re-released the movie as “Avatar: Special Edition” in August 2010. It made another $10 million domestically.
Last weekend, “Avengers: Endgame” fell out of the top 10 at the domestic box office for the first time since its April 26 debut. Will the re-release help the movie climb back up the charts?
