‘Avengers Endgame: Encore’ Is So Much More Than a ‘Doomsday’ Advertisement
In 2019, the marketing for Avengers: Endgame was so secretive that most people sitting in the theater didn’t know it was a time travel movie. We had no clue how our heroes were going to save half of existence, especially when Thanos destroyed the stones and died minutes into the movie. I remember watching it for the first time, realizing they were about to go full Back to the Future Part II, and completely losing my shit.

They know every line, every moment, and many already know all the teases Marvel included for its next film, Avengers: Doomsday (those leaked about 24 hours before the film actually hit theaters).
