For the Avengers – Age of Ultron, the movie starts in the (much used) forrest of Bourne Woods near Surrey in the UK. But the secret Hydra Research facility is much further south in Italy. The Fort di Bard was used as the Facility.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Los Angeles

In epidode 3 (S01) of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Skye has to infiltrate a house in Malta and sabotage a project.

On april 25, 2015, Kathmandu was hit by a giant earthquake. A little while after this tragedy, the crew for “Doctor Strange” (2016) arrived for their film.

Griffith Park Tunnel
Home to so many movies, this small tunnel gets his own post. Robert Zemeckis used this tunnel for the first two installments of “Back to the Future”, and “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” (entrance to “ToonTown”). Before that, in 1983, John Badham featured this tunnel in “War Games” with Matthew Broderick. More recent, 2016, Marvels Agent […]
