Marvel's The Avengers (2012)

Before it became one of the highest-grossing films in history, Marvel's The Avengers began its journey right here in Albuquerque — principal photography officially kicked off in the city in 2011, with Joss Whedon directing a cast that included Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Evans in the film that brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first team-up to the screen.

halflife* provided dailies for the New Mexico portion of the production — a small but meaningful piece of a film that went on to gross over $1.5 billion worldwide and win the People's Choice Award for Favorite Movie. It's a credit that speaks for itself: even Marvel's biggest blockbusters started their post pipeline in the same New Mexico studios halflife* calls home.
