The Walt Disney Studios and ScreenX have set Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp” for a release in the panoramic, premium cinema technology format, it was announced at CineEurope in Barcelona, Spain. “Ant-Man and The Wasp” is set to premiere around the world beginning July 4.

The announcement follows the successful release of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” in ScreenX, the world’s first multi-projection system that provides a 270-degree film viewing experience.

“Watching ‘Black Panther’ move through Wakanda and Busan in the panoramic format was a thrilling experience, and we are excited to see ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp’ magnified in this transformative, bigger-than-life format for audiences,” said Victoria Alonso, Executive Vice President, Physical Production, Marvel Studios.

Additional screens are expected to be equipped with the unique technology across China, the U.S. and Europe in the coming months, expanding current total screens by more than 30% by the end of 2018. This includes a deal with B&B Theatres announced earlier this year at CinemaCon 2018 that will bring four new ScreenX locations to the U.S. through 2019, including the largest ScreenX experience in the world opening soon in Kansas City.
