Loki interrupts Steve and Peggy’s romantic dance.

Avengers: Endgame Encore is basically the same as the original Avengers: Endgamewith all new scenes added at the end. It starts with End of gameThe original endgame of Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) sharing a sweet dance in the past.

In Avengers: Endgame Encorethe scene continues with a knock on the door. The unexpected guest turns out to be none other than Loki, elegant as always in his Time Variance Authority (TVA) uniform. He offers his help to Steve and Peggy, although the film cuts to credits before we can find out what that help entails — or why the two men even need help in the first place. (Maybe it has something to do with their child, revealed early on. doomsday teasing.)

Bruce Banner meets Doctor Doom.

From there, Avengers: Endgame Encore takes place in a series of new scenes that play during the credits. It wouldn’t be a Marvel movie without them, would it?

First, a sequence involving Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), last seen in this summer’s film. Spider-Man: A Whole New Day. In that film, Jean Grey’s (Sadie Sink) mind control caused Bruce to take out the Hulk in a major way. Since then, he has been isolated in a facility three kilometers underground. According to a video diary he recorded, he is working on a new suppression serum. However, the video diary begins to have problems when Doctor Doom breaks in. Runes begin to appear on screen, the same ones that can be spotted on Doctor Doom’s armor in other trailers.

Doctor Doom tells Bruce that he’s “here to get you back,” and the last thing we hear from Bruce is the Hulk’s roar. Between that and some ominous green runes on the ground, it’s not looking good for Bruce. Ruffalo was not on the main cast list for doomsdayso this scene could explain his absence or hint that he will be under Doctor Doom’s control down the line.

It’s the same sound that ended Avengers: EndgameThe original version of, a nod to Tony Stark (Downey Jr) forging his first armor. In Avengers: Endgame Encorethe sound takes on a whole new context. In quick flashes, we see Doctor Doom forging his mask and donning it.

The scene is a clever nod to Downey Jr.’s dual casting, suggesting that Victor Von Doom may have had a parallel trajectory to Tony Stark. Did he, like Tony, make this mask in a cave? With a box of remains? We’ll have to wait until December to find out, but until then, these scenes have given us quite a bit of food for thought.
