Reports Cloud Marvel’s Avengers Rollout: IMAX Access in Doubt, ‘Secret Wars’ Split Considered

With no official confirmations, key decisions on formats and film count remain unresolved.

Overview

  • Entertainment reports say Dune: Part Three is slated for a three‑week IMAX exclusivity on Avengers: Doomsday’s December 2026 date, which could push Doomsday’s IMAX debut to early January 2027.
  • Multiple outlets relay that Marvel is weighing whether to expand Avengers: Secret Wars into two films, with some reporting the choice could hinge on Doomsday’s box office performance.
  • Production notes indicate Doomsday reshoots are planned for April and that Secret Wars is expected to begin filming over the summer, reflecting an active schedule as plans evolve.
  • Rumors suggest Doomsday could approach a three‑hour runtime, underscoring the project’s reported scale while final cuts and strategy remain in flux.
  • Deadline’s Justin Kroll reports Kevin Feige has concentrated his attention on Doomsday and Secret Wars—largely stepping back from day‑to‑day on Spider‑Man—as Marvel navigates a crowded December release window and premium‑format competition.
