RoboCop (1987) shows what power truly is, where it actually comes from, and why everybody should wake up to this reality.

Kenneth Branagh’s Thor is an incredible film. It introduces the MCU to Thor, Loki, Asgard & the Bifrost Bridge. And yet, even though a majority of the film takes place in mystical realms, the filmmakers still managed to use some very Earth-bound locations to film the action.
“Thor” arrives on Earth after some family squabbles between his brother Loki and his father Odin, and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer” when Agent Coulson takes a trip to New Mexico on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Case Files.
The few locations in Avengers: Infinity War that were actually shot outside of a studio are few and far between. But regardless of where they seem to be, they were all (mostly) shot in Atlanta, GA – including the scenes of Tony and Pepper on the Central Park Bridle Path.
To coincide with the discussion of Iron Man 2, on the Agents of SHIELD: Case Files podcast this week, MCU: Location Scout will be taking a look at the multiple locations that make up the Stark Expo.
Ant-Man and the Wasp proves that even a “small” stakes adventure can be entertaining in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Forty one years on and Star Wars is still proving that at the heart of it all, like the founding of America itself, the story is about rebellion!
Sometimes finding filming locations is not hard. Stephen Strange’s Apartment is a good example. But there’s definitely a satisfying moment when you can match up the film frame with a real life location!
Robin Williams is not especially known for such serious films. That is why his starring role in Dead Poets Society (1989) is perfect for a movie all about the treacherous nature of expectations.
After the destruction of Avengers Tower in New York City in Avengers: Age of Ultron, the team decided to move to a new Avengers Facility in upstate New York, along the Hudson River. It has evolved over several films, until Captain America: Civil War, where it got some of its best screen time.
Sure you’ve seen the movie now multiple times but the amazing score deserves to be an endless loop. Solo: A Star Wars Story Original Motion Picture Soundtrack delivers the goods!
Sometimes there are locations I search for all over, but never come up with anything. And some locations I put away, because I don’t think they are findable without inside information. The New Jersey State Line from Captain America: The Winter Soldier falls into this second category. But guess what?
