Andy Behbakht has worked as an entertainment journalist since 2010, covering all the latest in Hollywood on both the big and small screens, from staying on top of the biggest breaking news, analyzing movies and television shows in Hollywood, to in-depth interviews with actors and storytellers.

Andy's career includes having worked for publications such as FanSided, KSiteTV, TV Fanatic, It's Just Movies, Heroic Hollywood, TV Overmind, and more. Outside of his career as an established reporter, Andy is the host and producer of The Showrunner Whisperer, The Flash Podcast, the editor-in-chief of Multiverse of Color, and the network director of DC TV Podcasts.

It has been a packed year for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as it builds toward its Multiverse Saga finale. Throughout 2026, Marvel Studios brought a new character to life in the MCU timeline with Simon Williams in the Wonder Man TV show. Audience members also saw the return of Tom Holland's Spider-Man in Brand New Day, while the Devil of Hell's Kitchen revealed his secret identity to the world in Daredevil: Born Again season 3, as Paul Bettany's long-time hero came full circle in the VisionQuest series. But Phase 6 is not over yet, as the focus will soon shift to Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Earlier this fall, Marvel Studios took viewers back to Phase 3, with Avengers Endgame: Encore hitting theaters for a limited run, as they get everyone ready for Doomsday. Not only did it let the 2019 installment get another shot at being seen on the big screen, but it has also become more crucial than ever for Anthony and Joe Russo's next ensemble feature in the MCU, with new scenes being added.

Avengers Endgame: Encore Is Disney+'s #1 Movie In The U.S.

Following its time in theaters, Avengers Endgame: Encore has officially arrived on Disney+ as of Friday, November 13. After becoming available on the streaming platform, it has already become the #1 streaming film on Disney digital service after only one day. As of writing, it is holding the top spot on the charts in the United States. However, its success isn't just happening in America, but also worldwide.

According to FlixPatrol, the extended version of the 2019 feature is dominating the #1 slot for Disney+ in Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria, Iceland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Luxembourg, Romania, Albania, Estonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Latvia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Liechtenstein. Subscribers in England have also taken it to the top of the Top 10 movies on the Disney streaming app.

Encore's Post-Credits Scenes Set Up Several Doomsday Storylines

With the additional footage added to Avengers Endgame: Encore's ending and post-credits scenes, it has planted several crucial setups for the Russo brothers' Doomsday feature, in particular for Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, as the Iron Man star is now taking on the role of Victor von Doom. After the outcome for Hulk in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the extended Endgame cut shows where Bruce Banner ended up before being collected by the dangerous antagonist.

Avengers: Doomsday is confirmed to bring Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, and Tom Hiddleston back as Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter, and Loki, respectively, as one of the new Endgame Encore scenes sees the former supervillain visit the happy couple, sharing how he can help them. However, that isn't the only tie-in from the Loki TV show, as the Time Variance Authority is also seen witnessing the incursion that is happening between Earth-10005 and Earth-1127. With the former being the world of Fox's X-Men, this is setting up the return of the mutants, as several cast members are reprising their roles in Doomsday.

Avengers Endgame: Encore is now streaming on Disney+.
