Marvel fans will have a unique way to watch the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday in ScreenX theaters this year. The blockbuster will be skipping IMAX theaters for the first three weeks following its release. Instead, Disney has started to bank on certifying several large-format theaters under the Infinity Vision banner, with ScreenX also set to deliver fans a new way to experience the film.
In a new social media post, ScreenX has published a preview of Avengers: Doomsday from inside one of its theaters. For those unfamiliar, the ScreenX format allows viewers to see the movie with a 270-degree panoramic view, with additional screens to the sides.
Earlier this year, Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day became the first film to have additional footage filmed on set for the ScreenX version. The clip shows footage from the film with additional imagery on the side screens, expanding the field of view for viewers.
What we know about Avengers: Doomsday and its massive MCU cast
Avengers: Doomsday will unite the titular heroes with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four for the first time in live-action. The teams will be joined by Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, who is returning to the MCU after seven years.
Together, they will face off against Doctor Doom, who is played by former Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. While plot details are being kept under wraps, its trailers have revealed that the film will likely deal with incursions throughout the multiverse.
Avengers: Doomsday will lead into Avengers: Secret Wars, which is scheduled to release next year. Together, the films boast some of the largest ensemble casts in the history of film, with nearly every actor who has played a Marvel hero reprising their role. Avengers: Doomsday is releasing on the same day as Dune: Part 3, with the latter securing all IMAX screens for three weeks.
Ahead of Doomsday, Marvel will also re-release Avengers: Endgame in theaters this September. The 2019 blockbuster remains the second-highest-grossing film of all time, having earned over $2.7 billion worldwide.
Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in theaters on December 18, 2026.
