Avengers: Doomsday just picked up five more MCU players, courtesy of Avengers: Endgame Encore.
The re-release’s new scenes bring in Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner along with four TVA regulars.
Marvel filmed the material during Doomsday production, folding these characters into the December story.
Ruffalo’s Hulk Steps Into The Doomsday Story
In the credits scene, Banner is locked up following Spider-Man: Brand New Day when Doctor Doom comes calling.
Spoilers for the full scene are in our breakdown, but the short version is that Hulk and Doom are now on a collision course.
There had been rumblings of Doom unleashing a Maestro-style Hulk variant on the heroes, but the Encore scene points at the mainline MCU Hulk.
The new scenes were taken from Doomsday itself rather than filmed just for the re-release.
The TVA Is In It Too
Owen Wilson’s Mobius, Ke Huy Quan’s O.B., Eugene Cordero’s Casey, and Tara Strong’s Miss Minutes all appear as the agency watches the multiverse start to collapse.
It is the clearest setup yet for how Doomsday begins.
Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie is nowhere in the footage, which CBM notes will fuel the rumor that she is one of Doom’s Latverian Witches.
Avengers: Endgame Encore is in theaters now, and Avengers: Doomsday hits December 18.
