Next two ‘Avengers’ movies to be shot with Imax cameras

MUMBAI: The upcoming two movies of the Avengers franchise – Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 & 2 will be shot entirely with Imax cameras. This will mark the first time a feature film has been shot in full with Imax cameras.

The footage will be captured with the Imax / ARRI next generation 2D digital camera. The camera is a customized digital version of ARRI’s new large format camera, the Alex 65. Before filming Avengers: Infinity War Parts 1 & 2, directors Joe and Anthony Russo will be using the Imax / ARRI 2D digital camera for select action scenes in the upcoming Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War (playing in Imax theatres May 2016).

“The intent with the Infinity War films is to bring 10 years of accumulative storytelling to an incredible climax. We felt that the best way to exploit the scale and scope required to close out the final chapter of these three phases, was to be the first films shot entirely on the Imax/ARRI Digital camera.” said Joe and Anthony Russo.
