Marvel Is Gearing Up To Return To South Korea To Shoot A Wild Chase Sequence For BLACK PANTHER
After shooting parts of Avengers: Age of Ultron in Seoul back in 2015, it sounds like Marvel Studios is preparing to head back to Korea fairly soon for one of their upcoming movies, Black Panther!
Filming is currently underway in Atlanta for Marvel Studios' eighteenth theatrical production, Black Panther, and while the studio has largely kept most of the shoot behind closed doors, it sounds like they may just be prepping to film a major outdoors action sequence in the not-so-distant future.
According to Variety, the production team for the Ryan Coogler-directed feature will be making the trek to Busan, South Korea later this year and will use the port city as the backdrop for a massive chase scene involving major characters. The report adds that a number of notable landmarks, including Gwangalli beach, Gwangan Bridge, and the Jagalchi fish market near Nampodong will be seen during the extended sequence.
Mr. Romance Film, a local production service company, confirmed the shoot and may have let slip a small plot detail or two: “The shoot, which will involve some 150 cars and more than 700 people, is a car chase scene with the protagonist and the villain... It will also involve helicopter(s) and guns (firing blanks) and may cause noise as well as traffic restrictions.” Well, judging by those comments, it's probably a safe bet to say that Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan will both be on-hand, meaning we'll all very likely be treated to a ton of set photos featuring (potential) first looks at both of their costumes.
This is Marvel's second production to film in South Korea, following Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron, which filmed a few scenes in Seoul back in early 2015.
