Avengers Endgame filmed in Scotland's St Abb's

Marvel’s superhero follow-up Avengers: Endgame filmed scenes in a Scottish coastal village to supplement its studio work in the US.

The movie begins where Infinity War left off, with the Avengers picking up the pieces and regrouping after villain Thanos has wiped out half of the universe’s population.

Production was largely based at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Georgia, which has been a centre of operations for most of Marvel’s movies in the last few years.

But when Marvel spent seven weeks shooting in Edinburgh for a key action sequence for Infinity War, the production team also headed to additional locations for scenes in Endgame.

The village of St Abb's, 50 miles east of Edinburgh on the North Sea coast, became a key location, standing in for story setting New Asgard.

“Once they had decided to film in Edinburgh they locked down the extent of the search for this remote location so that it could be achieved without having to move the base out of the city,” says Rosie Ellison, head of Film Edinburgh, in comments to KFTV.

“St Abb's was chosen because of its charm and proximity to Edinburgh, which allowed them to move easily from one to the other.”

Marvel’s team spent several months prepping for a week-long shoot that was scheduled immediately after the night-set Edinburgh scenes.
