  "account": "Marvel fans are expressing skepticism about the added four minutes in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame Encore re-release. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo claim that watching Endgame again is \"required viewing\" for following the story of Avengers: Doomsday, but fans question if this extra footage is truly necessary. The unveiled Encore footage may include scenes from Avengers: Doomsday's production involving Steve Rogers, such as him returning the Infinity Stones or returning home to Peggy Carter. However, fans believe that the additional footage is just a few minutes long and not worth the $30-$40 ticket price. Many fans are unsure about whether they will attend the Encore screening, citing the film's availability on Disney+ or the potential for leaks. Some fans are even dismissive of the additional content, calling it \"DLC for movies.\"",
