The latest Avengers: Endgame news
Avengers: Endgame is the highest grossing movie of all time
Just when hope seemed lost, Avengers: Endgame pushed a little further and usurped Avatar as the highest grossing movie of all time. It is now up to $2.795 billion, besting Avatar's $2.789 billion which stood as the top mark for nearly a decade.
The acheivement is a testament to the power of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, as the dust settles from the events of Avengers: Endgame (and Spider-Man: Far From Home), we can look foward to the future of Marvel, which has some crazy surprises in store for us.
July 2, 2019 - Avengers: Endgame fails to defeat Avatar as top-grossing movie
The Avengers saved New York City, got into a bitter feud, and then defeated Thanos. Yet, the superheroes failed to take down an even bigger foe: Avatar, which is still the top-grossing movie of all time.
The latest figures are in, and Avengers: Endgame still trails behind Avatar despite being re-released in theaters on June 28. Marvel gave it its best College Try, but came up agonizingly short.
Is that a big deal? No, not really. With a gross of $2.76 billion at the worldwide box office, Avengers: Endgame is still a phenomenal accomplishment, both narratively and commercially.
With Spider-Man: Far From Home now in theaters, it's looking unlikely that Avengers: Endgame will overtake Avatar's $2.78 billion take, which was earned during its initial release and re-releases.
Fans will be able to pick up Avengers: Endgame on digital and Blu-ray on July 30 and August 13, respectively.
June 28, 2019 - Marvel teases exclusive re-release content in new Avengers: Endgame TV spot
To coincide with the re-release of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel has released a new TV spot teasing "exclusive content."
Of course, Marvel has already said what fans can expect in the re-release, out this weekend. In addition to a message from director Anthony Russo, fans will get a peek at an unfinished deleted scene and an early look at Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Are you going to watch Avengers: Endgame in theaters again?
June 26, 2019 - Avengers: Endgame on digital and Blu-ray now available to preorder
Marvel has finally revealed when you can purchase Avengers: Endgame on digital and Blu-ray: July 30 and August 13, respectively.
The home release of Avengers: Endgame will be filled with extras, bonus features, and even a tribute to the late Stan Lee. And if you purchase the film on digital, you'll get an exclusive featurette starring Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter.
Avengers: Endgame is the biggest movie event of the last 10 years, and it deserves a spot in your home when it becomes available later this summer.

Avengers: Endgame post-credits scene
Since 2008's Iron Man, it's been tradition for Marvel to include a post-credits scene with each of its movies. With Avengers: Endgame concluding a 22-movie arc, many people will be wondering if Marvel's latest movie keeps that tradition alive. We have the answer.
Does Avengers: Endgame have a post-credits scene?
Avengers: Endgame trailer

Avengers: Endgame release date and runtime
Avengers: Endgame hit theaters on April 26, 2019. The official runtime is three hours and two minutes, making it the longest Marvel movie yet.
Marvel Cinematic Universe recap
The MCU began all the way back in 2008, so you may have forgotten what's happened up until now. All you really need to know is that Thanos successfully wiped out half the universe after collecting all six Infinity Stones. He said he did it for the good of all life, as a way to ensure prosperity across the universe.
After Tony Stark's introduction, Marvel spent Phase 1 introducing the founding members of the MCU, including Bruce Banner/Hulk, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Thor, and Steve Rogers/Captain America. In 2012, the Avengers teamed up to take on Loki and a Chitauri invasion of New York. They ate shawarma and call it a day.
In Phase 2, the Infinity Stones become a more important part of the narrative. The Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man make their debut and give Marvel the chance to explore the complexity of the Quantum Realm.
Then, in a mid-credits scene from Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thanos wields an Infinity Gauntlet and vows to personally collect the Infinity Stones, rather than hiring others to do the work for him.
Phase 3 is easily Marvel's most important phase, because it features the most drama, action, and destruction. In Captain America: Civil War, the Avengers become divided over the Sokovia accords, a document that would have given a panel power to control the team. It's this movie we're introduced to Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
Marvel then introduces Doctor Strange and Black Panther, before we finally get to Avengers: Infinity War, where Thanos successfully collects the Infinity Stones and wipes out half the universe. Some of the MCU's biggest characters died, including Spider-Man, Peter Quill, and Black Panther, to name a few.

Avengers: Endgame plot
Avengers: Endgame picks up shortly after Avengers: Infinity War. After Captain Marvel rescues Tony Stark and Nebula from deep space, the Avengers assemble and discover Thanos on a quiet planet, where he is living out a life of peace.
When the Avengers confront Thanos and attempt to take back the Infinity Stones, the Mad Titan reveals that he destroy the stones for good. Thor, angered by Thanos' actions, then decapitates Thanos.
Skip five years ahead, and the Earth isn't prospering like Thanos predicted; it's in shambles. But hope soon arrives when Scott Lang escapes from the quantum realm and explains to the Avengers that time travel is possible.
With this newfound knowledge, the come up with a plan to travel back in time to retrieve the Infinity Stones and reverse Thanos' snap. Stark and Bruce Banner, who is know "Smart Hulk," manage to build a time machine, and the Avengers use it to go back to key moments throughout the MCU.
The Avengers travel back in time to retrieve the Infinity Stones, but it comes at a big cost.
The Avengers are ultimately successful in collecting the different Infinity Stones, but their meddling in the past leads to the death of Natasha Romanoff, while Thanos from the past learns of their plans.
When the Avengers return to the present with the six Infinity Stones, they're place into a new gauntlet created by Stark. Hulk wields the gauntlet and snaps his fingers, which ultimately resurrects those who perished in Avengers: Infinity War, including Spider-Man, Black Panther, and many others.
After a huge battle at Avengers HQ, Stark uses the stones again, this time to disintegrate Thanos and his army. The power of the Infinity Stones proves to be too much for Tony and he dies from his injuries.
In the end, Thor joins the Guardians of the Galaxy, leaving Valkyrie in charge of New Asgard. Meanwhile, Steve Rogers travels back in time to return the Infinity Stones to their original places in time, and opts to remain in the past and live happily ever after with Peggy Carter.
An elderly Rogers then shows up in the present and hands his shield to Sam Wilson, making him the new Captain America.
