What was Marvel Studios doing in Iceland? They have spent a long time with a huge team shooting a new production of their Cinematic Universe.
As usual, Marvel Studios usually keeps his projects secret, but we know that this production was codenamed “Safari” and it was quite large because they came to occupy up to 3 entire hotels. Filming was done around Lake Myvatna volcanic area in the north of Iceland. This is a place that can only be filmed after obtaining special permission, as it is an environmentally protected habitat that is home to many unique species of animals and flora. There were also other shots near the Laxa River.
For this shoot, Marvel Studios was associated with True North Productions, because both film production companies have a long history of collaboration. Since the Icelandic company has worked on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, black widow, Avengers: Endgame and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
For the production they came to use artificial snow and sled dogs, as well as snowmobiles and turbines. Marvel Studios I also needed helicopter and drone shots. Fortunately, in winter the birds have migrated from those places, so it was easier for them to receive the corresponding permits for everything they wanted to do.
The great mystery: What were they filming in Iceland?
As we can see, it is something quite big and many speculate that it is the movie Kraven the Huntergiven that Marvel Studios is helping SONY with production. Although another film that is currently shooting is Black Panther: Wakanda Foreverbut obviously everything they’ve shot doesn’t look anything like an African country, however they may have turned Iceland into Latveria by introducing Doctor Doomsomething that has been rumored for some time.
But really we will only know what it is about when we see in a movie or series of Marvel Studios those magnificent landscapes Iceland. Meanwhile, we can see all the deliveries of this Cinematic Universe on the Disney Plus streaming platform.
