‘Avengers: Doomsday’ to Film at Windsor Great Park This June

Marvel will be filming scenes for Avengers: Doomsday at Windsor Great Park in June. The shoot will last for four days, but the company has permission to use the land for six months.

This is because they need time to build and take down the movie set. The set will include a 1960s-style house called the Luke Cage House, named after the Marvel superhero. Plans also show there will be a spaceship on set.

The film will be made by For All Time, a company Marvel set up in the UK in 2023. Fans believe this is a hint that the character Loki, who often says “For All Time,” will appear in the movie.

Councillors in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead voted to approve the filming plans. They agreed to let Marvel build the set at Duke’s Lane Park, part of Windsor Great Park.

One councillor, Evan Davis, said: “It seems like a marvellous application in more ways than one.”

Nick Day from the Crown Estate, which owns the park, said this could be the biggest film production in the UK this year. He urged councillors to support it: “So that the borough could play a small role in helping to support this important creative industry.”

The council’s deputy head of planning, Louise Reid, also backed the idea. She said:
“The film set is likely [to bring] economic benefits to the local economy through ancillary expenditure, utilisation of services and industries in the local area.”

She added that this would help Windsor and Maidenhead grow as a key filming location in the ‘west London cluster’, an area known for movie and TV production.

At first, some groups like the Woodland Trust and the council’s ecology team were worried. They were concerned about the impact on old trees and wildlife. But the plans were changed, and the set will now stay clear of protected trees and buffer zones.

After the changes, the plans were approved unanimously at a council meeting on May 7.

The council hopes this project will help bring more filming and more jobs to the area in the future.
