Did you get your tickets for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever yet? The highly-anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe film is in theaters now! The news has fans of the first film, Black Panther, rushing to the theater.
For those who are fans of the first film, the second film takes place, once again, in Wakanda, a fictional country that appears in the original comic books published by Marvel. There are people who might be wondering how the filmmakers were able to make Wakanda feel like it’s a real place.
While the film takes place in Wakanda, one of the MCU’s most critical settings—as established at the beginning of Black Panther. Wakanda is based in Africa and, when you watch the movie, you’ll see that there are a ton of architectural influences from the countries of Uganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Usually, when it comes to the setting of a CGI-filled film, the actual filming locations are very different from the setting in the movie. Large cities such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York City, and Toronto are where most Hollywood films tend to film. So where did the filming of the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever happen?
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever movie filming locations
Production initially took place at Trillith Studios in Atlanta and Brunswick, Georgia at Mary Ross Waterfront Park, as well as around Massachusetts, specifically at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in Worcester. Production had to take a hiatus to allow cast member Letitia Wright to recover from an injury sustained during filming. Some additional photography took place in Puerto Rico.
Could you have guessed that? For any Georgia or Massachusetts residents, it must be interesting to learn that the film was essentially shot in your backyard.
