Marvel fans can officially start counting down to one of the biggest movie events of the year. Advance tickets for Avengers: Doomsday are now on sale, giving fans the chance to secure the best seats before opening weekend. The latest Marvel Studios blockbuster arrives in theatres on December 18, 2026, and premium showtimes are expected to sell out quickly.
If you’re planning to experience the film in Winnipeg, the best viewing option is UltraAVX at either Cineplex St. Vital Centre or Cineplex Kildonan Place.
Why UltraAVX Is the Best Choice in Winnipeg
Normally, an Avengers film is considered a must-see in IMAX. However, this year is different.
Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated Dune: Part Three is opening on the same day as Avengers: Doomsday and has secured an exclusive IMAX theatrical window across North America. That means Canadian IMAX theatres, including Winnipeg’s IMAX screen, will be showing Dune: Part Three instead of Marvel’s latest epic during opening weekend.
Because of that, UltraAVX becomes the highest-end format available in Winnipeg for Marvel fans.
UltraAVX offers a premium large-format screen, immersive Dolby Atmos audio (where available), laser projection, and comfortable reserved seating. While it isn’t IMAX, it still delivers a significantly larger and more cinematic experience than a standard auditorium, making it the ideal way to watch a film packed with massive action sequences, visual effects, and an all-star Marvel cast.
Will Avengers: Doomsday Ever Play in IMAX?
At this time, Marvel Studios is instead promoting premium large-format screenings under its new Infinity Vision branding, which includes premium formats such as UltraAVX and other large-format auditoriums. This approach ensures audiences can still experience the movie on premium screens despite IMAX exclusivity belonging to Dune: Part Three.
There is always the possibility that Avengers: Doomsday could receive IMAX screenings later in its theatrical run once the exclusivity period ends, but nothing has been announced for Canadian theatres.
Book Early
Opening weekend for Marvel films has a long history of selling out, especially premium auditoriums. If you’re hoping to watch Avengers: Doomsday on the biggest screen available in Winnipeg, it’s worth booking your UltraAVX tickets as soon as possible.
With IMAX unavailable this time around, expect St. Vital Centre and Kildonan Place’s UltraAVX auditoriums to be the most sought-after showtimes in the city.
