A future Marvel movie is currently filming in the D.C. area, blocking up traffic and sparking rumors about which film the Marvel team is taking on.
Quite a few projects paused production during the ongoing WGA strike, which started in early May and shows little sign of letting up. News that filming for a Marvel release is still underway took quite a few people by surprise and sparked immediate rumors about which film is behind all those traffic delays. There are literally dozens to choose from, with a lineup of more than 20 MCU flicks planned for release over the next decade or so, but we can narrow that selection down with relative ease.
Which Marvel movie is filming in D.C.?
Roads and parking lots near the White House in Washington D.C. are currently congested, as MCU filming takes over an area several city blocks wide. The culprit behind this closure, which began early in the week and will reportedly conclude on Thursday, June 29, is still unknown, but rampant rumors point to one highly-anticipated upcoming release.
Marvel has yet to confirm which flick is causing all those blockages — which are largely located around 14th Street, 15th Street, and Pennsylvania Avenue — but fans think they’ve got the filming figured out. Production for Captain America: Brave New World is known to be underway, and — as one of only a few Marvel flicks currently in the filming stage — many fans have landed on the fourth Captain America flick as the culprit behind stagnant D.C. traffic and parking blockages.
At a meeting back in March, a director in the D.C. mayor’s office, Latoya Foster, informed us that Brave New World would be filming this year. That revelation, in tandem with knowledge of the upcoming Marvel release schedule, makes the impending Captain America flick the most likely bet. It’s not guaranteed, of course — and likely never will be, if other D.C. traffic stoppers are any indication — but most people are heaping the blame on the MCU’s new Cap.
