Following their official announcements at the San Diego Comic-Con International this past Saturday, we’ve now got details on Marvel’s production plans for two of its 2021 releases in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Thor: Love and Thunder.
As revealed by Variety, both films are setting up at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia and will film back-to-back at the complex in 2020; cameras are expected to start rolling on Shang-Chi early in the year and will wrap ahead of principal photography on Love and Thunder in August through to the year end.
Marvel previously shot Thor: Ragnarok in Australia, although the production was based out of Warner Bros. Studios on the Gold Coast as opposed to Disney’s newly acquired Fox Studios.
