Anyone else having technical issues with IMAX enhanced MCU films on Disney Plus right now?

I clicked the IMAX enhanced option for Iron Man, but it only showed it as the standard aspect ratio. I then tested out other movies to see if they had the same issue. Some did, some didn’t, but some weirdly had the opposite issue, where it would show an IMAX aspect ratio even when you click on the standard aspect ratio option. It’s only for certain movies, I’ve found.

Anyone else running into this?

Iron Man only has a few minutes (maybe a bit more?) of “IMAX Enhanced” footage. It’s not the entire movie or even that much of the movie.

MilKPoP4472025-12-03 17:32

Scenes that are meant to be in IMAX enhanced are only showing the standard aspect ratio. I also tried this for Infinity War (where the entirety of it is IMAX enhanced), and I ran into the same issue, but I weirdly didn’t for Endgame

Good catch, this must be a bug. How are you accessing the app? A device or built-in to your TV or?

MilKPoP4472025-12-03 18:01

I tried it out on iPhone first, and then I tried it on my MacBook, which had the opposite issue of what I described (it shows IMAX instead of standard even when I click on standard)

MilKPoP4472025-12-03 20:16

Now I tried it on my TV on a PS5 and with a different account, and the same thing is happening. I honestly to god think that Disney Plus’ IMAX enhanced mode is broken today for some reason

Seems like the app’s “alternate version” code was really hard to figure out, so maybe they tweaked something else and it broke that feature. Or there’s a metadata mismatch and the app is grabbing from the wrong bucket or something.

I'm having the exact same issue - Guardians 3 and Endgame work fine for me with the IMAX ratio, but Infinity War has the black bars, despite selecting the IMAX ratio. It works fine on my smartphone, but not on my TV for some reason.

maphisto20002025-12-03 19:54

Same issue here. I noticed that the Thor Ragnarok scenes weren't expanding and switched to infinity war and still no IMAX ratio.

Clicking between the two versions does nothing, but interestingly if you fast forward/rewind it shows the correct image ratio in the thumbnail.

Watching via Apple TV in the UK.

MilKPoP4472025-12-03 21:29

That’s exactly the issue I’m having right now (and yeah, I went to see what Ragnarok looked like, and it’s doing the same thing for me).

maphisto20002025-12-04 16:50

Have you checked again today at all? Looking on my phone it seems avengers is fixed but Ragnarok is still broken.

Edit - Both still borked via Apple tv

Not having this problem with multiverse of madness or fantastic four first steps but yeah something’s up with infinity war.

HaveAGoodSleep2025-12-04 11:25

Same here there’s several movies that aren’t playing correctly Avengers Infinity War, Black Panther, Antman Quantumania, Captain America Brave New World. Pretty sad to see this many movies not playing correctly in Imax Enhanced.

In the US via Sony Bravia TV native Disney + app and tried on Firestick same results.

Its been a few days and they still havent fixed it.

By chance is it only messed up for ad supported subscriptions?

MilKPoP4472025-12-08 17:36

The one I’m using is a premium subscription (no major ads), and yeah the problem is still there for me

a_o2025-12-08 17:44

Maybe the licenses for them expired and nobody emailed someone to set the “imax enhanced” box to ‘off’ in the backend for these movies.

MilKPoP4472025-12-09 20:33

Maybe? Although that wouldn’t explain why the web browser version on Mac has it exclusively on the IMAX setting (even when you choose the standard option, so it’s the opposite problem there)

CelebrationFinal2025-12-19 16:26

Let support know, more claims come in they take it seriously.

CelebrationFinal2025-12-19 16:28

Let support know, the more claims that come in, the more they take the error seriously.

CelebrationFinal2025-12-12 15:40

I thought I was going crazy, I can't even watch infinity war because I'm use to it being in imax. Really disappointed has anyone contacted disneyplus about this???

maphisto20002025-12-12 21:46

Still broken for me.

Some testing.

- End Game works fine

- Wakanda Forever works fine

- Infinity War works via the android app but not others

- If I launch Ragnarok from Apple TV+, which then loads the Disney+ app - for a moment it appears correctly before then adjusting to the cinematic version.

- I recently updated to tvos 26.2 on Apple TV. When I first opened Disney+ Ragnarok started playing half-way through, it played fine, but then when I hit the restart button it broke it.

Y pay money for bad tech and outsourced Indian customer support when you can download stremio and watch all of it for free with no need for tech support?

Legal_Flight90972025-12-15 07:45

También a mí. De las que he visto con esta falla en mi tele y celular son las siguientes:

Currently watching guardians 1 and the imax scenes on the scroll tab show there in imax but that actually scene doesn't whats so ever even after closing the app

Let them know, more claims come in they take it seriously.

METALGOD2K2025-12-17 03:44

I finished watching Thor Ragnarok today and none of the scenes that were supposed to be imax enhanced weren’t. Tried it with the first Black Panther movie and Infinity War and they aren’t imax enhanced as well. Looks like I’m taking a break from the MCU movies until it’s fixed

CelebrationFinal2025-12-19 16:23

Let them know, in support. If enough people let them know about the error they’ll resolve it.

Goblin-Darts2025-12-20 01:35

Same here, thought I was going crazy glad it's not just me.

FreshCoconutWater1832025-12-20 18:40

Same here. Reported to Disney+ support but no idea if it’s been escalated. Couldn’t find a way to reach out in a way where I’d actually get updates.
IMAX enhanced DOES work on PS5 though.

Update: Got bored and played around with AppleTV settings. Locked the Apple TV to HDR and the IMAX enhanced works fine. So I think this is down to the Dolby Vision version.

So for now, if you want the IMAX enhanced, you can watch it in HDR on Apple TV

maphisto20002025-12-20 21:43

It's fixed for me! Watching Thor Ragnarok on Apple TV, all IMAX scenes switching correctly.

thissucksmyass2025-12-22 15:59

This bullshit its almost three weeks now still fucking doing it... black panther imax is playing in standard widescreen... fast forward preview box shows full imax screen... full display is still wide screen... rediculous... only reason to even keep disney plus is the imax versions... time to invest in the discs i guess... wow..
And i checked its infinity war as well... i dont think ive ever seen infinity war in widescreen because the imax versions been there long as i remember... that is really fucked up... i get bugs happen but tjree weeks later this shit should be fixed man wtf

Aggressive-Pay13872025-12-23 01:10

Sim! Acabei de assistir guerra infinita e achei que era problema da minha tv por não reproduzir a tela cheia

comlad132025-12-25 16:36

Also just got here through a search after noticing Quantumania not showing IMAX ratio but End Game did. Can’t believe it’s been bugged for weeks without a fix.

B1CANB2025-12-28 20:36

Cap america brave new world doesnt working either...

dibils2025-12-30 21:11

think its a dolby vision problem, since HDR shows IMAX, cant believe this problem has been there for many weeks! i only came across it now when trying to qatch Infinity War! ridiculous
