Marvel confirms 'The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron' will shoot in South Korea

Fans who have been keeping their eyes on news from The Avengers: Age of Ultron production likely know that the crew shot some footage in South Africa last week. Rumors had swirled that the film would also head to South Korea to do some work, and now Marvel has confirmed the news.

Marvel announced Tuesday that The Avengers 2 "will film key elements of the movie in the capital city of Seoul." The studio expects this to "create jobs for local extras, crews and vendors" that should benefit the local film industry in the nation.

"South Korea is the perfect location for a movie of this magnitude because it features cutting-edge technology, beautiful landscapes and spectacular architecture," said Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios and producer of The Avengers 2, in the statement (via Comic Book Movie). "We would especially like to thank the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) for making it possible for Avengers: Age of Ultron to come to Korea." 

"We're very excited to have the production in Korea, and also expect this to serve as the footstep of many more opportunities yet to come," added Yoo Jinryong, minister of Culture, Sports & Tourism of Republic of Korea. 

The press release also notes other filming locations include London (the base of the production), Johannesburg, South Africa and Aosta Valley, Italy. Marvel notes that other locations will be announced.
