‘Deadpool’, ‘Wolverine’, And More Headed To IMAX

The companies confirmed the pact, which also covers Wolverine and Maze Runner: The Death Cure, this morning. Neither Deadpool nor Independence Day: Resurgence was shot in IMAX, and will be digitally remastered to bring the sound and images in line with the IMAX format. Wolverine and Maze Runner: The Death Cure have not begun filming, so there’s still a chance they’ll shoot some footage in IMAX.
Assuming these movies’ IMAX releases will begin at the same time as their regular releases, the dates fall as follows:
Deadpool will be the first film in the X-Men franchise to get the IMAX treatment. Oddly, the announcement doesn’t mention Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse (which was shot in 3D) or Gambit. But the statement only names a few of the films covered by the pact, so if you have your heart set on seeing even more jumbo-sized mutant-on-mutant action, there’s still hope.
As for the Maze Runner franchise, the first film hit IMAX screens in 2014, but the second, subtitled The Scorch Trials, did not get an IMAX release when it opened last month.
