Atacama Desert, Chile | MCU Location Scout

Wreckage of Talon fighter on desert island.

I am the black panther, and I’m here for retribution!

Shuri’s Royal Talon Fighter crashes into a rocky outcropping, skidding into the Atacama Desert in Chile (identified as such in the script to the film). She and Namor fight with Shuri having to make the choice about whether to kill the Talokanil-mutant or not.

To film this fight scene, the production visited the Atlanta Sand and Supply quarry in Roberta, GA. They were able to stage a beachy-deserty looking fight complete with stunts closer to home.
