The trailer of the Avengers: Endgame (2019) has been released a minute ago. You can watch it just below. It appears that this movie was shot exactly like his big brother, utilizing the special combination of IMAX and ARRI 65. 

Shot entirely using IMAX and ARRI

The directors of the film, the Russo Brothers, have announced that INFINITY WAR part 1 and part 2 will be shot entirely using IMAX and ARRI’s 2D digital camera, which is a joint customized digital version of ARRI’s large format camera, the Alexa 65.

RED Dragon and Helium 

According to the spec (see below) there are other cameras as well: RED Weapon Dragon VV and the RED Weapon Helium S35. It’s important to note that the spec is not updated and a bit premature in term of info, but you got the point.

Next-generation 2D digital camera

As stated before by IMAX: “The next-generation 2D digital camera – co-developed by IMAX and ARRI – is meant for use by today’s leading filmmakers working in the IMAX® format. The joint solution is designed as a complementary tool to IMAX’s high-resolution capture technologies – including its 3D digital and 15perf / 65mm film cameras. Moreover, IMAX worked with ARRI to achieve the highest level of digital image capture for playback on IMAX’s xenon and new laser projection systems.”

Final thoughts

It seems that the combination of the IMAX and ARRI 65 is widely used especially in special huge Hollywood projects. We wrote before about the implementation of this combination on the Lion King 2019.

To sum it up, go watch the Avengers: Endgame on IMAX 2D screen!
