Marvel’s movies might rule the box office, but the company just paid millions to a different set of royals — the British royal family.
“[Marvel is] shelling out millions to shoot scenes for AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY over the summer in Windsor Great Park,” the Irish Sun reported.
The outlet explained that Marvel Studios paid millions in location fees to build its sets next to Windsor Castle in Berkshire. The money is set to go towards the upkeep of the surrounding parks.
The total amount is unknown but, as the Irish Sun’s source explained, “Several million pounds is chicken feed to Marvel when their movies make billions.”
The source added that King Charles “has a keen interest” in the production because “some of the profits of Crown Estates make their way to the Royal Family so it’s a win-win for everyone.”
“The Royal Family may even be persuaded to pop by and have a look at Thor in action,” the source said.
Marvel Studios reportedly paid the Royal Family millions to film ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ at Windsor Great Park.

It’s set to premiere next year, with follow-up AVENGERS: SECRET WARS scheduled for 2027.
“It’s all in London. We’re shooting them fairly back-to-back, it’s a lot of work again, we may or may not survive, we’ll see,” co-director Joe Russo told Deadline. “But we’re very excited about it. We found a way into the story that we think is gonna be challenging for audiences, it’s challenging for us to execute. And it’s really exciting for us, it gets us out of bed to do it.”
Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, who have worked on Marvel movies like CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and AVENGERS: ENDGAME.
“ENDGAME was the end, and it took a little time for us to begin to think about it as something other than an end,” Anthony Russo told Empire. “We’re very close with Kevin and Lou [D’Esposito, Marvel Studios’ Co-President] and the entire Marvel team and we’ve had conversations through the years. We’ve talked about a lot of ideas.”
He continued, “Really what happened was, we ended up stumbling upon an idea that activated all of us. You couldn’t see it coming until it came, and once it came it was like, ‘Well, that’s a story we need to tell.’”
We’ll have to wait and see if AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’s new filming location scores them a cameo from a member of the royal family!
