Seven years of waiting for the Avengers to reunite, and the best screen in the house is already taken. That’s *Doomsday*‘s story. *Secret Wars* won’t repeat it.

### Why Doomsday Missed Out?

*Avengers: Doomsday* was first dated for May 2026. Disney later moved it to December 18, and by then Warner Bros. had locked up [IMAX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAX) screens for *Dune: Part Three* across the holiday window. Disney’s answer was “Infinity Vision,” which is really a premium-screen label rather than a brand-new format.

IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond recently said on *The Town* podcast that he doesn’t view this as a threat. He also reconfirmed that *Secret Wars* is coming to IMAX.

### Doomsday vs Secret Wars

| Feature | Doomsday | Secret Wars |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Release date | Dec 18, 2026 | May 7, 2027 |
| IMAX screens | No (*Dune: Part Three* exclusive) | Confirmed |
| Premium branding | Infinity Vision | IMAX |
| Story role | *Infinity War*-style setup | *Endgame*-style finale |
| Box office outlook | Huge, but not an *Endgame* rival | Better shot at the record |

**Small twist:** Warner Bros.’ IMAX deal covers three weeks. *Doomsday* could still land IMAX screens in week four, just as *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* did after its rival’s exclusivity ended.

### Can Secret Wars Beat Endgame?

Probably not, at least for now. *Brand New Day* has reached $2.23 billion worldwide and broke *Endgame*‘s domestic opening record with $360 million. It is still expected to fall short of *Endgame*‘s $2.79 billion total.

Still, *Secret Wars* has real advantages:

- It closes out an entire saga, just like *Endgame*.
- The Russos call it a new beginning as much as an ending.
- Marvel is moving away from multiverse stories from 2028, so cameos from 25+ years of superhero films are possible.
