Overview
- Industry posts cited by multiple outlets say Dune: Part Three is set for a three‑week IMAX exclusivity window that overlaps with Avengers: Doomsday’s opening weekend.
- If the reported lock holds, Doomsday would not play in IMAX until roughly January 8, 2027, and Disney and Marvel have not confirmed any adjustments.
- Doomsday remains scheduled for December 18, 2026, and launching without IMAX access would break a pattern established by prior Avengers films.
- Production plans are still active, with reports pointing to April reshoots for Doomsday and separate rumors suggesting Marvel may split Secret Wars into two parts.
- The film leans on returning marquee talent, including directors Anthony and Joe Russo and reported comebacks from legacy stars, while coverage notes premium alternatives like Dolby Cinema could soften any IMAX delay.
