Los Angeles - The Avengers will be released in 3D.
The Marvel movie - starring a huge cast including Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth - is now to be released in the special format alongside a 2D version.
In the same release, Disney also confirmed another as-yet-untitled film has been moved from a release date of June 2014 to April 2014, with many speculating it may be the follow-up to Captain America: The First Avenger.
'An absolute phenomenon'
The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon, and Disney's distribution chief Dave Hollis has predicted it will be huge upon its release in 2012.
He said: "I don't know who doesn't know about The Avengers at this point. It will be an absolute phenomenon."
Jeremy Renner - who stars as Hawkeye in the movie - previously joked he had no idea how the final movie would look after it had been edited.
He said: "Someone's in the air, flying around. I'm on the ground, shooting a bow and arrow. There are a lot of things happening. I have no idea what that movie looks like.
"Zero idea. Most of the time, I have a good idea of how it's going to turn out because I've seen so much of it, but I have no idea. I feel like I might be an extra in it. I'm not sure."
