To say that Marvel’s first crossover movie, The Avengers, changed everything is perhaps the understatement of the century. While Iron Man may have been the official birth of the MCU, 2012’s The Avengers proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Marvel Studios’ then-experimental approach to a shared cinematic universe was a monumental success. Of course, the movie’s record-shattering box office run inspired several more movies, though the film’s direct follow-up, Avengers: Age of Ultron, is widely considered the weakest chapter of the crossover series. Thankfully, that would not be the case whatsoever with the next two Avengers films.
The MCU’s “Infinity Saga” entered its closing chapters with the aptly titled Avengers: Infinity War, which united almost every single major character in the MCU to combat the otherworldly threat of the Mad Titan, Thanos (Josh Brolin). The shocking of events of that film led to the direct follow-up of Avengers: Endgame, which officially brought the Infinity Saga to a close in spectacular fashion. The two-part result was two of the most financially successful movies of all time, with Infinity War currently being the 7th highest-grossing movie of all time at $2 billion and Endgame being the 2nd highest-grossing movie ever made at $2.7 billion, falling just short of James Cameron‘s original Avatarmovie.
Now, seven years later, in clear anticipation for the fifth Avengers movie releasing at the end of 2026, both Infinity War and Endgame are surging on Disney+. Both movies made a sudden return to the Top 10 charts on the House of Mouse’s chief streaming platform this past week. They share their spot with Sam Raimi‘s horror sleeper hit Send Help, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway‘s original Devil Wears Prada movie, and George Lucas‘ divisive Star Warscult classic, The Phantom Menace.

Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.

‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Is Just Months Away
The Devil Wears Prada and The Phantom Menace are more than likely trending thanks to their respective franchises’ new movies The Devil Wears Prada 2 and The Mandalorian and Grogu, and that’s likely why Infinity War and Endgame are surging as well. Come December 18 (the same date as Dune: Part Three), Avengers: Doomsday will be released to the masses, which will have the Avengers, the X-Men, and more of Marvel’s mightiest heroes as they team-up to battle the fearsome Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.). And the story won’t end there, as the Multiverse Saga will reach its own conclusion with Doomsday‘s direct follow-up, Avengers: Secret Wars.
Avengers: Doomsday premieres in theaters on December 18, with all four previous Avengers films streaming now on Disney+. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
