Russo Brothers Say New Endgame Scene Is The MCU's Most Profound Moment

According to a report from /Film, the Russos have inserted a new post-credits scene in the Avengers: Endgame Encore re-release that spells major trouble for the multiverse.

The scene, set at the Time Variance Authority, shows Mobius, Ouroboros, and Casey witnessing multiple incursions, where two universes collide. The directors reportedly indicated one collision may involve the X-Men's home universe. The situation escalates until Ouroboros declares, "The multiverse is collapsing."

Joe and Anthony Russo told Empire this moment is critical for setting up the next Avengers film, Doomsday. Anthony Russo said it serves as "the unifying principle" for bringing together the X-Men, Avengers, and Fantastic Four universes. Joe Russo claimed every detail in the scene is premeditated and contains clues for the larger story.

The Russos also framed the re-release as a chance for a new generation to see Endgame in theaters for a shared experience. However, per /Film, Marvel's clear intention is building hype for Doomsday, a strategy seemingly backed by Encore's $86 million global opening weekend.

The directors reportedly call the multiverse collapse the most profound event in MCU history, setting the stage for the massive crossover event to come.
