Avengers: Endgame is the final movie in the 3rd phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

On 25 September 2026, Marvel released Avengers: Endgame Encore (USA). The film featured a brand-new post-credits sequence that served as a teaser for what’s to come in Avengers: Doomsday, out on 18 December.

Given that Avengers: Endgame Encore is a special cut of the 2019 film, it did not claim this title. Although, it does have a longer running time of 185 minutes.
