Avengers: Endgame Encore Popcorn Buckets and Collectibles Revealed as Tickets Go On Sale
Endgame Encore popcorn buckets are here as tickets go on sale for the Avengers rerelease, with an Iron Man helmet, Nano Gauntlet and more.
Tickets are officially on sale for Avengers: Endgame Encore, and Marvel has wasted no time rolling out a new wave of Endgame Encore popcorn buckets to go with them. The extended re-release returns to theaters on Friday, September 25, and Fandango confirmed the on-sale date alongside the collectible lineup.
This isn’t a straight re-run of the 2019 blockbuster, either. The Encore cut runs roughly 185 minutes, about three hours and five minutes, thanks to a new introduction and a special end tag that Marvel is keeping under wraps for now. That extra footage is reserved for IMAX and Disney’s new Infinity Vision screens, so standard format tickets won’t include it.
What Is Infinity Vision?
Endgame Encore also marks the launch title for Infinity Vision, Disney and Marvel’s new premium large format push. According to reporting from IGN, Infinity Vision isn’t a new projection technology so much as a certification that flags auditoriums meeting a specific quality bar set by the studio. Expect theater chains to market it heavily over the next month as they promote their upgraded screens.
The Endgame Encore Popcorn Buckets
Now, the part collectors actually came for. Two LED popcorn buckets anchor the merchandise rollout, both built around Tony Stark and the film’s finale:
- Iron Man Premium Head Helmet Popcorn Bucket: a full size helmet finished in red, gold and silver that opens at the top for popcorn. The eyes light up, and one mode projects “I Love You 3000,” a callback to Tony and Morgan Stark’s final scene together
- Nano Gauntlet Popcorn Container: a roughly 16 inch gauntlet in red and metallic tones, with all six Infinity Stones lighting up in their signature colors (green, magenta, blue, red, orange and yellow) and an opening on the front for popcorn
Early listings from theater merch trackers put both buckets in the $39.99 to $49.99 range depending on the venue. A separate report also mentions an Arc Reactor tin as a third piece of the collectible lineup, though full pricing and availability for that item haven’t been confirmed yet.
Endgame Encore Popcorn Buckets: Where to Get Them
Regal and Cinemark have both confirmed the Iron Man helmet and Nano Gauntlet buckets will be available at participating locations starting September 24, one day ahead of the movie’s theatrical return, while supplies last. Fandango is also running its own bundle: $49.99 gets you one ticket to Endgame Encore plus your choice of the Iron Man helmet or the Nano Gauntlet bucket. The bucket ships separately beginning in October, with a promo code emailed for the movie ticket. Fandango is calling it a 1 in 14 million opportunity, playing off Doctor Strange’s famous line from the original film.
Why Marvel Is Bringing Endgame Back Now
The timing lines up with more than nostalgia. Endgame Encore lands about three months ahead of Avengers: Doomsday, which opens December 18 and brings Robert Downey Jr. back to the MCU as Doctor Doom under the Russo brothers. Reopening the door on Endgame, and specifically on Tony Stark’s ending, gives Marvel a built in emotional bridge into that next chapter, even if the studio hasn’t confirmed what the new footage actually shows.
The re-release also isn’t happening in a vacuum. It joins a busy run of nostalgia-driven popcorn bucket announcements this year, following a similar collectibles push for The Transformers: The Movie’s 40th anniversary re-release and, Pixar’s reveal of Cars 20th anniversary buckets.
