Last week, Marvel Studios announced that the production for the upcoming film, "Black Panther" had already began and that the film will be shot in both Atlanta and South Korea. The film will include a huge car chase that will take place in the port city of Busan, a province in the southern part of South Korea. The shooting will take more or less two weeks starting from late March through early April.
The city of Busan is famously known as the venue of the coveted Busan International Film Festival, one of Asia's biggest film festivals. The city is also know for its beautiful landmarks like Gwangalli Beach, Gwangandaegyo Bridge and Jagalchi fish market as well as the Sajik-dong area that will become the backdrop for an epic car chase that will happen in the film.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the chase will be between the protagonist Black Panther and the villains. The epic pursuit will include 150 vehicles, 700 persons, helicopter and firearm props that shoots blank shells. The Busan Metropolitan Government have already informed the residents and provide warnings that the filming process will cause noise and traffic restrictions.
During the production of "Avengers: Age of Ultron" last 2015, Marvel Studios gave up on some of the filming locations in Seoul that was previously leaked as reported by Variety. However, the Busan Film Commision with help from Mr. Romance Film Productions, asked Marvel Studios to consider Busan as a filming location. "Last November, the city invited Darrin Prescott, the film's second unit director, to pitch Busan as the film's potential shooting location," said the Busan Film Commission.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige previously confirmed "Black Panther" will be one of the nine films that are afoot through 2019. Feige also confirmed that a Korean actor will have an appearance in the upcoming film.
The film will follow the story of T'Challa after the events of "Captain America:Civil War", after his father's death. He will return as the new king to the isolated yet technologically advanced nation of Wakanda. However, his resolve as a king and as the Black Panther will be tested as a new enemy emerges and puts all of Wakanda and the whole world in danger. "Black Panther" will have a worldwide release in February 16, 2018.
