Fans of Marvel movies are now wondering what will happen with the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday, after news about the release of Dune: Part 3. With a key release date for Dune now confirmed, some believe the two movies might not be opening on the same day in December as previously expected.
Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 fans think Dunesday may not last
The third Dune movie will open exclusively in IMAX theaters on December 18, 2026, the same day as the premiere of Avengers: Doomsday.
DiscussingFilm reports that the deal limits IMAX showings of Dune: Part Two to certain countries. ComicBook.com adds that while the December 18th release is still planned, only one of the two planned Dune films will be available in IMAX format.
Dune: Part Three will open in IMAX theaters first, giving it an edge with higher ticket prices and a more impressive cinematic experience. This puts it in direct competition with another film releasing on the same date, December 18, 2026, creating a box office showdown between the two.
People online brought up the issues with IMAX and how the release date might change. One commenter said Disney should reconsider the current release date, comparing releasing an Avengers movie without IMAX to owning a fast car and driving it slowly.
Another user stated, “Yeah move up the Avengers to around Thanksgiving.”
Feedback also touched on when movies should be released, with one person saying they preferred a late April or early May release, even though a holiday release for an Avengers movie makes sense. Some users also shared their preferred viewing formats, noting they’d rather see Dune in IMAX, even if they were more excited about another movie like Doomsday.
The conversation also covered how movies are made. One person pointed out that “Dune” was filmed using IMAX cameras, while most Marvel films are shot digitally. Another user simply stated they preferred Dolby over IMAX.
Both Dune: Part 3 and Avengers: Doomsday remain scheduled for December 18, 2026.
