The Infinity Saga culminated years of interconnected storytelling by merging every narrative thread into one monumental film that created a cultural phenomenon no movie has replicated. Avengers: Endgame delivered emotional closure while honoring a decade of character development across 22 films.

Establishing a benchmark for franchise filmmaking that transformed cinema itself. This conclusion now acts as a bridge to the Multiversal Saga's culmination through Avengers: Endgame Encore.

A theatrical re-release adding crucial scenes that connect directly to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Avengers: Endgame Encore adds four minutes of new footage shot during Doomsday production, featuring Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, Tom Hiddleston's Loki, and Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner. The first scene interrupts Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter's closing dance when Loki arrives in the Time Variance Authority uniform, potentially discussing how Steve's time travel created an unstable multiversal branch.

A second TVA scene shows Mobius, Casey, Ouroboros, and Miss Minutes observing two Earths colliding in an incursion event that triggers multiversal collapse. This catastrophe likely explains how Fox's X-Men universe characters, including Professor Xavier, Magneto, Cyclops, Mystique, Nightcrawler, and Gambit, cross into the main MCU timeline. 

Bruce Banner appears in a post-credits scene set after his apprehension in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, where Jean Grey's mental manipulation caused his Hulk transformation. Bruce works in an underground bunker developing a serum to suppress his transformations when Doctor Doom breaches the facility, prompting Bruce to Hulk out before the scene cuts.

The final addition reveals Doctor Doom forging his metal mask with the same clanging sound that closed the original Endgame, suggesting mirrored origins between Doom and Iron Man despite both being portrayed by Downey Jr. These new scenes prepare audiences for Doomsday's December 18 release.

Andrew Garfield Addresses ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Rumors With a Very Curious Response

Meanwhile, some fans might be wondering who will the Avengers face after Dr Doom?

Comic book Secret Wars storylines feature the Beyonder as an omnipotent entity who creates Battleworld from fragments of destroyed universes, forcing heroes and villains to fight for survival. This cosmic being possesses power exceeding even galactic entities, making him an ideal endpoint villain for the Multiversal Saga after Doctor Doom's introduction.

The Beyonder's arrival would represent escalation beyond Thanes-level threats, requiring every MCU hero across multiple universes to unite against an adversary who literally controls reality itself. Spider-Man: Brand New Day's post-credit scene hinted at characters entering a new universe.

Most probably Battleworld, where fragmented realities collide under mysterious control.  This setup mirrors comic precedents where the Beyonder orchestrates cosmic games that determine universal survival through combat and moral choices.
