‘Moon Knight,’ a live-action superhero miniseries based on the Marvel comics character of the same name, was created by Jeremy Slater of ‘The Umbrella Academy.’ Doug Moench and Don Perlin came up with the idea for the imaginary character. Marc Spector, a mercenary with dissociative identity disorder, wears an Oscar Isaac cape. He takes on the role of Khonshu, the Egyptian moon God, and begins to unravel a sinister mystery rooted in Egyptian mythology.
The series is the sixth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it follows the events of the movie. The majority of the show’s events take place in far-flung bizarre places, with us being taken on a tour of tombs and underground rooms. You might be wondering where the series was shot, and if that’s the case, let us delve a little deeper.
Moon Knight Filming Locations
‘Moon Knight’ was mostly shot in Hungary, Jordan, Slovenia, and the United States. Filming was planned to start in November 2020, however due to the outbreak of the pandemic, the timeline was thrown off. Filming began in April 2021 and ended in October 2021, according to sources. Let us now take you to the areas where the series was shot.
Budapest, Hungary
The production crew began primary photography in Budapest, where a large amount of the series was shot. The crew returned to film additional sequences after filming in the city for three months – from April to June 2021. Several sequences were shot in the Museum of Fine Arts, a municipal heritage museum located in Heroes’ Square, directly across from the Palace of Art. The team visited Madách Square, an upscale suburb along the Danube, in early June 2021.
Iver Heath, England
The crew may have also obtained access to England’s Pinewood Studios. According to some sources, the filming would take place at Pinewood Studios in England. It’s in the village of Iver Heath, near the town of Slough, some 18 miles west of central London. The production center has long been a popular filming location in the country, and it has appeared in several James Bond films.
Los Angeles, California
Some scenes were shot in and around Los Angeles, the city best renowned for its contributions to movie history. With its state-of-the-art production houses, ranches, greenery, and sun-soaked beaches, Los Angeles entices the directors. Furthermore, if one looks away from the conspicuous ‘Hollywood’ logo, the city can pass for any normal US backdrop due to the grandeur of many locales.
Metro Atlanta, Georgia
Finally, some filming took place in and around Atlanta, a global film production hub and renowned American city that also happens to be Georgia’s capitol. The cast and crew put the finishing touches on the film in Atlanta, which has a vibrant culture and a film production district. They shot scenes at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, a large global production company with headquarters in London. The Trilith Studios, as it is currently known, is located at 461 Sandy Creek Road in Fayetteville, in Fayette County, south of Atlanta. From ‘Black Panther’ to ‘Spider-man: No Way Home,’ it has been a reliable home for Marvel films.
Osilnica, Slovenia
When it came to creating the enormous magical mood, the cast and crew left no stone unturned. As a result, a key automobile chase scenario was filmed in Osilnica, a small town in southern Slovenia. It is located on the Kolpa River’s left bank. Global productions have visited the region on numerous occasions, ranging from ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian’ to the iconic war comedy ‘No Man’s Land.’
Szentendre, Hungary
Filming took place at Szentendre, a tiny community township outside of Budapest, in May 2021. A picturesque view of the mountains can be seen from the riverside village in Pest County. In and around the town’s main square, a few sequences were shot. To ensure a seamless production process, the local traffic authority placed obstacles in strategic locations. In the neighborhood, Ethan Hawke, who plays the antagonist in this star-studded film, was sighted.
Wadi Rum, Jordan
They had to capture some of the deserts because the series mingles various themes of Egyptian mythology. The crew flew to Jordan to capture the show’s majestic terrain, which was crucial to the plot. They filmed at the Valley of the Moon, also known as Wadi Rum, according to sources. It is Jordan’s largest wadi (valley), located on the country’s southern border. Given the location’s name, it’s possible that it has something to do with the legendary aspects presented in the show.
