Avengers: Infinity War has surged back into the Disney+ top 10 and is now among the most-watched films globally, as fans prepare for the release of Avengers: Doomsday on 18 December. The 2018 Marvel film's renewed popularity comes as viewers catch up on the MCU's flagship franchises before the next major event film arrives, with both Infinity War and its sequel Endgame positioned as essential viewing for audiences.

The film achieved $2 billion at the global box office, with $678 million from the domestic market and over $1.36 billion from international territories. Infinity War is widely regarded by critics and fans as critically superior to the higher-grossing Endgame, and features Josh Brolin's acclaimed performance as the villain Thanos, though reports of his return in Avengers: Doomsday remain unconfirmed.
