Disney just dropped a bombshell at CinemaCon 2026 that is set to change how we watch blockbusters. Move over IMAX and Dolby—there’s a new gold standard in town. Disney has officially launched Infinity Vision, a premier theatrical certification designed to help audiences identify the absolute “biggest, brightest, and most immersive” screens on the planet.
Infinity Vision isn’t its own proprietary screen like IMAX; rather, it’s a certification for existing Premium Large Format (PLF) auditoriums that meet Disney’s rigorous “Director’s Intent” standards. To earn the badge, a theater must feature:
- Max-Scale Screens: Only the largest domestic and global screens need apply.
- Laser Precision: Mandatory laser projection to ensure superior brightness and 4K clarity.
- Immersive Sound: Advanced premium audio formats (like Dolby Atmos) configured for maximum spatial immersion.
The first Infinity Vision-certified screenings will begin on September 25, 2026, with a massive theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame. It’s a tactical move to reclaim the #1 all-time box office spot from Avatar while letting fans test-drive the new format. The re-release will also feature new footage intended to bridge the film to Avengers: Doomsday.
The certification is primarily built for the December 18, 2026 release of Avengers: Doomsday. By seeking out Infinity Vision screens, fans can guarantee they are seeing the Russo Brothers’ vision on a scale that surpasses standard theatrical chains.
