Avengers: Endgame — Russo Brothers' directorial to stream exclusively on Disney+ from 11 December

Avengers: Endgame , which marks the culmination of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), will premiere on Disney’s upcoming streaming platform on 11 December. The announcement was made by CEO Bob Iger alongside the company’s quarterly earnings report on 8 May, reports  CNET .

Iger said that Disney was “thrilled” with the success of the film, which is now the second highest grosser of all time. Endgame has even  surpassed the earnings of James Cameron’s 1997 classic Titanic  at the box office. The Anthony and Joe Russo-directed film, which tied up the storylines of 22 movies in the MCU, earned $2.272 billion in less than two weeks of its release, crossing the $2.187 billion haul by Titanic. Endgame is yet to claim the spot of highest earning film ever, which belongs to Cameron’s 2009 film Avatar ( $2.78 billion).

It was previously reported that Disney+ will be launched on 12 November . Besides Endgame, the platform will also include exclusive original content such as a live-action Star Wars series called The Mandalorian  and animated Monsters at Work, inspired by hit Pixar movie Monsters Inc. Scarlett Johansson’s  Black Widow  will soon have her own standalone film, to be directed by Cate Shortland. Marvel is also developing limited TV series for Disney+ for  Falcon and Winter Soldier  as well as  Loki and Scarlet Witch .
