Royal family to benefit from blockbuster shoot as Avengers: Doomsday heads
to Windsor Great Park
King Charles is reportedly set to receive a surprising windfall after Marvel
Studios struck a multi-million-pound deal to film parts of its upcoming
Avengers: Doomsday at Windsor Great Park.
According to The Sun, the Hollywood giant plans to bring in around 300 cast
and crew members over the summer to shoot scenes for the next instalment of
the Marvel franchise on royal grounds.
Sources say the lucrative offer, while a modest sum by Marvel’s standards,
will directly contribute to the upkeep of Windsor Great Park—an estate managed
by the Crown Estates, whose profits partly benefit the royal family. King
Charles receives 25 percent of those profits through the Sovereign Grant.
“It’s a win-win for everyone,” an insider explained. “Marvel’s movies make
billions, and several million pounds for access to the park is just chicken
feed to them.”
The film features an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr, Chris
Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Sir Ian McKellen, and Pedro Pascal. With filming
taking place so close to the royal residence, it’s even speculated that Prince
William, Catherine, and their children might pay a visit to the set.
Although The Crown Estate declined to comment on the arrangement, the news
marks an unexpected Hollywood connection for King Charles—one that could bring
both global attention and financial benefit to the royal household.
