Warning: Full spoilers for Avengers: Endgame Encore follow.
All four new scenes in Avengers: Endgame Encore have now been detailed, via Variety, as the re-release arrives in theaters.
The footage leaked out of early screenings a day earlier, and Disney answered with copyright strikes.
The scenes were shot during Doomsday production and make up the extra four minutes of footage in the re-release.
Details below.
Loki Knocks During Steve And Peggy’s Dance
The first new scene arrives during Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter’s dance at the end of the movie.
A knock comes at the door. The visitor is Loki, wearing his TVA uniform.
Loki was last seen in the Loki Season 2 finale, taking on the job of holding the multiverse together for good. This visit happens before that, and Variety suggests it concerns the unstable branch Steve created by going back in time to stay with Peggy.
Another new scene checks in at the TVA with Mobius, Casey, Ouroboros, and Miss Minutes.
They watch two Earths start to collide in an incursion, which is what happens when two universes smash into each other. The worlds open fire on one another, more begin colliding, and the multiverse itself is collapsing.
Variety raises the possibility that those two Earths are the Fox X-Men universe and the MCU, which would set up the X-Men fight teased in the Doomsday trailer.
Doctor Doom Breaks In On Bruce Banner
A third scene plays during the credits and picks up with Bruce Banner after Spider-Man: Brand New Day, where Jean Grey took over his mind and Spider-Man had to take the Hulk down.
Bruce is now locked away in an underground bunker, working on a serum to keep himself from transforming.
Then Doctor Doom breaks in. Bruce turns into the Hulk to face him, and the scene cuts before the fight.
That confirms what filmmaker Robert Meyer Burnett said days ago, that Hulk and Doom share a new scene in Encore.
The Clanging At The End Of The Credits Gets A New Answer
The final scene sits at the very end of the credits, where the original Endgame played only a metallic clanging sound.
Fans long ago pinned that sound as Tony Stark hammering out his first armor in Iron Man.
Encore plays the sound again, this time over flashes of Doctor Doom forging his metal mask. The Doom mask image that spread online came from this moment.
Robert Downey Jr. plays both characters, and the scene lines Doom’s creation of his mask up with Tony building his first suit.
Avengers: Endgame Encore opens September 25, with early screenings already underway, and Avengers: Doomsday follows December 18.
