Marvel moves production out of US even as Trump puts 100 per cent tariff on overseas films

Thanks to the state's tax credit system and new stages at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville, 13 big-budget Marvel movies have been filmed in Georgia over the past decade, including multiple Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers, Spider-Man, Black Panther and Captain America films.
Collectively, Marvel has spent more than US$3 billion in the state, and the films collectively generated more than US$12 billion in worldwide revenue in cinemas alone.
But after
Thunderbolts* , which many critics are saying is the best Marvel film in years, the production company has no films slated to be filmed in Georgia.
Marvel has chosen instead to primarily shoot its Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies in London for now. That includes not just the coming The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set to be released in July but the next Spider-Man film and two more Avengers movies.

20,000 Hongkongers ride Disneyland Resort line as it opens in 2005 – from the SCMP archive
This article was first published on August 2, 2005. Disney isn't open, but 20,000 pay to ride Mickey's caboose By Dennis Eng Advertisement Disneyland has yet to open and they could not buy tickets when they got there – but nearly 20,000 people tried out the train service from Sunny Bay to the theme park on Monday (August 1, 2005). The only glitch came early in the day, when one of the driverless automated trains stopped at the wrong point along the platform of the Disneyland Resort station at 8am, leaving it out of alignment with the platform screen doors and delaying passengers for two minutes. The MTR's head of operations, Wilfred Lau Cheuk-man, played down the incident, saying that the six weeks left until the park's opening gave time to work out 'a few teething problems'. Part-time female 'customer service ambassadors' were on hand at both stations to assist passengers and answer any questions. Children excitedly look through a Mickey Mouse-shaped window on a Disneyland Resort line train on August 1, 2005.
