  "account": "As Avengers: Doomsday draws closer, Disney has announced that Marvel fans can look forward to a special version of Endgame, titled Avengers Endgame: Encore, streaming on Disney Plus. This recut film adds scenes that connect to Doomsday, providing additional context for the upcoming movie. Originally released in theaters on September 25, 2019, Avengers: Endgame became the highest-grossing film of all time, earning $2.942 billion at the box office. The 2021 re-release of Avatar briefly reclaimed the top spot, but Endgame has remained the biggest earner overall. For those who missed Encore in theaters, Disney Plus will host the movie on November 13. The Encore version is four minutes longer than the original, featuring four new scenes. These additions include an extended ending, two mid-credits scenes, and an additional sequence at the end of the credits. In the extended ending, Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter encounter a version of Loki who offers assistance, potentially explaining Captain America's presence in Doomsday despite his seemingly content life with Peggy in the past. The mid-credits scenes provide more backstory for Bruce Banner's predicament in the film. Banner is isolated in a military facility due to an incident (likely referring to events from Spider-Man: Brand New Day), and Doctor Doom intervenes by teleporting him away. Another mid-credits scene delves into multiverse issues, with Time Variance Authority employees Ouroboros, Casey, and Mobius M. Mobius detecting potential collisions between alternate universes Earth-10005 and Earth-1127, suggesting the multiverse is on the brink of collapse. The final post-credits scene reveals that the sound of hammering during the credits is actually Doctor Doom forging his mask. These scenes are intended to make the transition to Avengers: Doomsday smoother, as the latter film's plot was developed more quickly than previous installments. While the original plan was to subtitle the next Avengers film as The Kang Dynasty, this was scrapped after Jonathan Majors, who portrayed Kang, was convicted of assault and harassment charges. Marvel subsequently pivoted to focus on Doctor Doom for Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to release in theaters on December 18.",
