Movies being released in IMAX theaters have been a game-changer since Christopher Nolan used IMAX-specific cameras to film the Dark Knight trilogy and subsequently blew all of our minds. It’s a big deal for theaters—especially now, when theaters are still struggling to reach pre-COVID numbers for ticket sales. Though as numbers continue to tick upwards, getting an IMAX slot is becoming increasingly more competitive, making studios work even harder to produce something worth being shown, turning a night out at the movies into something more akin to an actual event for the rest of us.
With 2025 winding to a close (where did this year even go?), it looks like we’ve gotten our hands on the long-awaited 2026/2027 IMAX release slate—and it’s absolutely packed with movies that were meant to be seen on the really big screen, with everything from comic adaptations, sci-fi, and franchise favorites like Mortal Kombat II, Project Hail Mary, and The Batman 2.
You can check out the full list of 2026/2027 releases below!
There’s something for everyone on this list. We get Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Superman: Man Of Tomorrow basically back to back, which is going to be perfect for story continuity and further fleshing out James Gunn’s take on the DCU. And we can’t forget about The Batman 2 finally releasing five years after its predecessor—the fact that it’s essentially right around the corner feels like a feat.
And there’s likely a slew of awards awaiting Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, a film both highly anticipated and long-awaited (Matt Damon’s historically inaccurate helmet notwithstanding). Filming The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm was a risk, though—there are only 16 theaters in the US that have the capabilities to show movies in that specific format. But Nolan is no stranger to filming in IMAX, as we stated above; he knows the risks and has, apparently, accepted them.
