We all love Avengers: Endgame, but some Marvel fans are now suggesting that the four minutes of footage added to its upcoming Encore re-release risk being oversold by its directors.

Endgame is one of the best Marvel movies of all time — perhaps the best — and so it's not surprising to see it return to theaters this fall ahead of Avengers: Doomsday's arrival. Not only will this new chance to watch the film inject a few more million into its box office total (perhaps enough to overtake Avatar once again!), the experience will likely remind cinema audiences of the excitement felt at the close of the Infinity Saga, as a decade of storytelling came to a natural conclusion.

But after the reveal that Avengers: Endgame Encore will be just four minutes longer than the movie's original runtime, fans are revisiting recent comments by directors Joe and Anthony Russo — who suggested that an Endgame watch (or rewatch) was "required viewing" to follow Doomsday's own story — with a healthy dose of scepticism.

A clip of the Russos discussing Avengers: Endgame Encore at San Diego Comic-Con last month is now being shared widely on social media, where the duo discussed why they thought fans should see the film again with Fandango.

"It's going to connect the story of the two movies," Joe Russo said of Avengers: Endgame Encore. "There's a natural progression from Endgame into Doomsday, which is also inclusive of all the other stories that have been playing out.
