Iron Man 3 will soon begin filming in Wilmington NC! Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle may soon be spotted around the Wilmington area in upcoming months. The action-flick should put about $80 million into the local economy.
The Wilmington Regional Film Commission has been busy keeping it’s eye on 10 productions of different sizes for the year, and this time it landed a BIG one. With the General Assembly’s approval in 2009 of increased incentives, the regional film commission is seeing more activity, and “Iron Man 3” could signal producers of other big-budget films that this is the place to be. It looks like Hollywood East is a title Wilmington is glad to keep.
