Avengers: Endgame Encore Brings Extended Cut to Theaters—But Fans Spot Poster Oddity

Marvel’s Avengers are heading back to cinemas this week with Avengers: Endgame Encore, an extended cut re-release of the blockbuster Endgame. While excitement is high for this cinematic event, which arrives in theaters on September 25, fans were quick to notice something off about Marvel’s latest promotional materials.

What’s New With Endgame Encore?

Marvel has kept details of Endgame Encore closely guarded. The movie is confirmed to include a few minutes of additional runtime, hinting at new scenes or extended sequences to further bridge the narrative gap between Endgame and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. The sense of mystery has triggered a wave of fan speculation, including unconfirmed rumors connecting Tony Stark’s snap to the Doomsday threat and even wild theories about potential scenes featuring a showdown between Doom and Thanos. Despite a flood of eye-catching teasers and posters, Marvel is revealing little about exactly what’s been added to this special extended cut.

Poster Sparks Debate Over Thor’s Look

Marvel recently dropped a new official poster for Endgame Encore featuring Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America standing over reflective water. On closer inspection, fans spotted a surprising detail: Thor’s design in the poster matches his look from Avengers: Infinity War, not Endgame. The key giveaway is his hair, which is distinctly different from his appearance in Endgame. The error has led to debate about whether it’s a simple oversight or teases something more for the re-release.

Digging deeper, the poster’s water reflections depict each hero as they appeared at the start of their MCU journeys—Iron Man in his classic suit, Captain America as pre-serum Steve Rogers, and Thor with his original heroic look. This artistic choice might explain Thor’s earlier look, but considering the poster is for Endgame Encore, some fans still see it as a missed detail or potential misstep—unless the film itself is hiding a twist related to Thor’s character.
