'Avengers: Secret Wars' Will be Released in IMAX

The timeline for IMAX releases for 2027 and 2028 was revealed this Thursday (05), and Avengers: Secret Wars is on the list of productions that will use the technology.

It's worth highlighting that Avengers: Doomsday will utilize a technology Disney calls Infinity Vision, which is a kind of "competitor" to IMAX that the company created to release the film in theaters.

In this case, it had been mentioned that Dune: Part 3 was prioritized in theaters instead of Doomsday, which led Disney to look for an alternative.

Disney announced on April 16 the launch of Infinity Vision, a new certification for movie theaters with premium technology. The initiative was presented during CinemaCon in Las Vegas.

Certified theaters must meet rigorous technical standards, including the largest screens available, high-resolution laser projection, and immersive premium audio formats. Currently, there are 75 Infinity Vision theaters in the United States and 300 abroad.
