Marvel will be celebrating this 10th Anniversary all year long, and today IMAX is joining the celebration with a new video featuring footage from the MCU’s 18 movies to date, including the current blockbusterBlack Panther, and interviews from the filmmakers. IMAX also revealed new details about the expanded aspect ratioAvengers: Infinity Warin IMAX theaters. Here’s a brief statement from IMAX’s YouTube page, where this new video debuted.
“Avengers: Infinity Warmarks the first Hollywood film to beshot entirely with IMAX cameras. Exclusively in IMAX theatres,Avengers: Infinity Warwill be presented in an expanded IMAX 1.9:1 aspect ratio - offering moviegoers up to 26% more of the image than standard theatres for a truly immersive experience.”
It was first revealed thatAvengers: Infinity Warwill be fully shot with newIMAXcamera way back in May 2015, when The Russo Brothers revealed that they also used this camera, an IMAX-customized version of ARRI’s large format camera dubbed the Alexa 65, on select scenes inCaptain America: Civil War. While it’s become a common practice to shoot big action sequences with IMAX cameras,Avengers: Infinity Warwill be the first to use these cameras for every single scene. It’s possible that these cameras could become the standard for Hollywood big budget action movies in the future.
As for this video itself, it begins with Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) greeting IMAX fans, followed by footage from several different MCU movies includingGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,Black Panther,Spider-Man: Homecoming,Ant-Man,Thor: The Dark World,Captain America: Civil Warand much more. Directors such as James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2) and Scott Derrickson join in the fun, the later stating that IMAX up close is “thegreatest thing ever,” because the frame, in the 1.9:1 aspect ratio, “disappears,” giving fans more to enjoy.
The video also includes interview segments with Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), who states that, “sometimes you just wanna hang out with my face, 60 feet wide on an IMAX screen,” while Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) expresses her excitement forThor: Ragnarokbeing showcased in IMAX, stating, “that’s so rad.” We also hear fromThor: Ragnarokdirector Taika Waititi, who compares theIMAX experienceto having, “a TV smashed into your face”, andBlack Pantherdirector Ryan Coogler, who reveals that IMAX is his favorite way of watching movies.
