Marvel has been one of the cinematic jewels of the Georgia entertainment industry for over a decade. “Black Panther” and “The Avengers” movies are among the many blockbusters filmed in the Peach State at Trilith Studios. “The Fantastic Four” and “Thunderbolts” are two of the most recent Marvel movies shot here.

However, those films may be the last we see of the movie studio in the state. According to recent reports, Marvel is moving future productions to the United Kingdom for a variety of reasons, including cost savings, more filming space and health care costs already covered within the region.
