The MCU’s Original Avengers’ Confirmed 2026 Return Is Perfect For Doomsday

As a movie critic, I’m excited to report that the Avengers are gearing up for a big return in 2026, and it’s happening in two phases. First up, we’re getting a boost for Avengers: Doomsday, and it sounds like Marvel is bringing back some of the original stars to make it happen. Let’s be real, while the MCU has a lot of hits, the Avengers films are the crown jewels. Every single one has broken the billion-dollar mark at the box office, proving just how much audiences love these heroes.

For a brief time, Avengers: Endgame, the biggest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, was even the most-watched film ever. That’s why Marvel’s next two Avengers movies, which will conclude the Multiverse Saga, are a major event. These films will show us Captain America’s new team of Avengers and will also feature the former Thunderbolts, who are now part of the Avengers. Plus, the original Avengers team will be back in theaters in 2026.

The MCU’s Original Avengers Return To Theaters In 2026

Marvel Studios is bringing Avengers: Endgame back to theaters on September 25, 2026, just three months before the release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026.

It’s a smart move to bring Avengers: Endgame back to theaters. Since the film originally came out in 2019 – seven years before Avengers: Doomsday – a re-release will remind fans of the story. Plus, it could give Endgame a chance to become the highest-grossing movie ever, surpassing 2009’s Avatar. Currently, Endgame is just $124.3 million behind.

How Avengers: Endgame’s Re-Release Can Boost Doomsday

The re-release of Avengers: Endgame is a smart move for the Marvel Cinematic Universe because it creates an opportunity to transition from the original Avengers team to the new one. Currently, only Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. have been confirmed to return, though Downey Jr. will be playing Doctor Doom instead of Iron Man.

Releasing the last Avengers movie in theaters three months before Avengers: Doomsday will keep both films fresh in fans’ minds and create a clear link between them. They could even add a short preview of Doomsday after the credits of the original Avengers film, making that connection even stronger. The new 2026 film could also continue the story directly from where Endgame left off.

Rumors suggest Chris Evans might reprise his role as Captain America in the upcoming movie Doomsday. This could include a scene that picks up where Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter left off in Endgame, potentially exploring how his choices impacted the timeline or multiverse. The directors, the Russo Brothers, have also hinted that Iron Man’s death will be a significant part of Doomsday‘s story, meaning the original Avengers team will likely have a lasting presence in the film, set to release in 2026.
