Avengers: Endgame is now streaming for free ahead of Doomsday's release

There's not long to go until Avengers: Doomsday hits cinemas, which means it's the perfect time to give Endgame a rewatch. The 2019 film is now available to watch on Channel 4's streaming service for the next 29 days after airing last night on Channel 4.

But if you're looking to revisit Endgame on a bigger screen, the film is back in cinemas from 25 September with an extra four minutes of previously unseen footage.

While four minutes may not seem like a lot, directors the Russo Brothers have said it's "required viewing" for following the story in Doomsday.

Explaining why the film is being re-released, Joe Russo said in August:"It's an opportunity to create a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday in a very unique way, and because the movie was so successful, we have an opportunity to re-release it.

"You don't always get the chance to re-release because it costs money, so the fact that we can enhance the story of Doomsday by bridging it to Endgame and these characters that we worked with for years that we love so much, and continue their story. It's a really unique opportunity."

Doomsday will see Robert Downey Jr return to the MCU, but this time he'll be the villainous Doctor Doom rather than hero Iron Man. Chris Evans will also be reprising his role as Steve Rogers for the first time since Endgame.

The synopsis for Doomsday reads: "Universes collide and the Multiverse Saga begins its final chapter in Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday. Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and ultimately face an existential threat unlike anything they've ever encountered.

"This epic film will lay the foundation for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. See it in Infinity Vision, the way it's meant to be seen, on bigger, brighter and more immersive screens."

Avengers: Endgame is re-released in cinemas on 25 September, while Avengers: Doomsday is out in cinemas on 18 December.
