Marvel is about to release Avengers: Endgame Encore in theaters. Not only is this a chance to rewatch the climax of the Infinity Saga on the big screen again, it also gives fans several new scenes to chew on. Each of these scenes is meant to create connective tissue with Avengers: Doomsday and lay the groundwork for the debut of Robert Downey, Jr.’s Doctor Doom.

Those scenes have now leaked onto the Internet ahead of Endgame Encore’s release [Note - we’re pretty confident these leaks are genuine, but you can never be 100% sure in the age of AI.]. And there’s definitely a lot of food for thought here. We see key TVA figures reacting to the impending collapse of the multiverse and Doom himself kicking off some sort of recruiting spree. These scenes raise more questions than they answer about the plot of Doomsday, so let’s break down what we do and don’t know right now.

In what is easily the most intriguing new addition to Endgame, we get a scene focused on Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner set in the aftermath of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Banner has clearly seen better days, as he’s still recovering from the physical and psychological trauma of being hijacked by Sadie Sink’s Jean Grey. He’s desperate to reassert control over his Hulk persona, and so he’s locked himself deep in an underground bunker to test a new “gamma suppression system.”

But no sooner does Banner begin his test than the lights flicker and a certain armored villain makes his presence known.
