Disney has announced that it will add IMAX-enhanced sound for 18 fan-favourite Marvel films on May 15th 2024, which will immerse subscribers in the action like never before.

This announcement is the latest evolution in the storied relationship between IMAX and Disney Entertainment. Audiences first entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe in IMAX in 2010. Since then, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become the highest-grossing franchise in IMAX history. Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame were the first films shot entirely with IMAX digital cameras, and all titles available in IMAX Enhanced on Disney+ feature select sequences in IMAX’s expanded aspect ratio.

Best-in-class certified device manufacturers will support IMAX Enhanced sound, beginning with select DTS:X enabled Android/Google TV devices from Sony, Hisense, Sharp, Xiaomi, and others. Additionally, owners of certified DTS:X enabled AV receivers from manufacturers like Denon, Marantz, and JBL will also be able to enjoy the experience at launch.

With IMAX Enhanced, IMAX and technology partner DTS enable content that can be experienced in-home and beyond with the highest fidelity, ensuring that filmmakers’ creative intent is fully optimized for an IMAX-quality presentation. DTS:X, provided by DTS, preserves the full dynamic range of the theatrical mix, allowing sound to move freely around the listener for a more immersive presentation at home.

Disney+ is the first major streaming service to elevate the at-home viewing experience with IMAX Enhanced, giving its subscribers new ways to re-experience the Marvel Cinematic Universe and beyond.

The select Marvel Studios films available with IMAX Enhanced sound on Disney+ coming on May 15th will include:

• Ant-Man and the Wasp
• Doctor Strange
• Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
• Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
• Avengers: Infinity War
• Eternals
• Avengers: Endgame
• Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol. 2)
• Black Panther
• Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol. 3)
• Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
• The Marvels
• Black Widow
• Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
• Captain America: Civil War
• Thor: Ragnarok
• Captain Marvel
• Thor: Love & Thunder

On the same day, Disney is also releasing a special IMAX film, “Queen Rock Montreal”, on Disney+ around the world.

This latest addition continues to show Disney’s relationship with IMAX, which is likely to continue to grow as more major movies are being made with IMAX in mind.
