A true MASTERSTROKE: Avengers Endgame: Encore has MORE surprises beyond the leaked scenes; Marvel saves its BIGGEST twist for theatres (SPOILERS ahead)
Here's the latest update from the Hollywood/Marvel world:
Before the movie begins, Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans, aka Tony Stark/Iron Man and Steve Rogers/Captain America, respectively, appear in a special video greeting for the audience. The two stars appreciate moviegoers for returning to watch Avengers: Endgame on the big screen and conclude with the heartwarming line, “We love you 3000! Sit back, relax and enjoy Avengers: Endgame .” The simple gesture was enough to charge up the packed auditorium. Someone in the sold-out audience shouted, “Avengers!”, prompting around 20-30 moviegoers to immediately respond with a thunderous, “Assemble!”
Adding to this, Most followers in the theatre had obviously seen Avengers: Endgame several times over the last seven years. Yet, they watched the three-hour-long movie in rapt attention, occasionally breaking into hoots and applause at the memorable moments. As expected, the auditorium erupted during the pre-climax when the fallen superheroes returned and Captain America finally uttered the iconic words, “Avengers... Assemble.” For a few moments, it genuinely felt as if we, too, had time travelled along with the superheroes and landed back in April 2019!
Meanwhile, A lot has already been written, and unfortunately leaked, about the new credit scenes. Hence, many Marvel followers knew broadly what was in store. Marvel Studios, however, saves one of the biggest surprises for the actual ending of the movie.
Notably, The original Avengers: Endgame concluded with Steve Rogers finally getting the life he always wanted, as he is seen romantically dancing with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell). Avengers Endgame: Encore begins with exactly the same scene. But this time, their dance is interrupted by a knock on the door. Peggy goes to answer it and asks the mysterious visitor, “Can I help you?” The man replies, “No. But I believe I can help both of you.” His identity is then revealed – he is none other than Loki (Tom Hiddleston)! Steve emerges and is stunned to see his former adversary standing at the door.
As per the latest buzz, It is a masterstroke as instead of merely attaching a bonus scene after the credits, Marvel has actually tweaked one of the MCU's most iconic endings and seamlessly transformed it into a bridge to Avengers: Doomsday . Such an alteration is extremely unusual for a major franchise re-rollout and ensures that even viewers who know Endgame by heart get a genuine surprise before the credits begin.
In further updates, It also instantly raises several questions. Why has Loki approached Steve and Peggy? What help does he believe they need? And, most importantly, how will Captain America's decision to remain in the past tie into the impending multiversal crisis?
On top of that, Avengers Endgame: Encore packs in three additional sequences during and after the credits.
The first revolves around Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who is seen recording a video log from inside a heavily secured military bunker located two miles underground. Following his recent troubles with the Hulk, Banner has placed himself in isolation and is working on a new gamma-suppression technique.
