Los Angeles (1947) | MCU: Location Scout

Exterior of the Auerbach Theatrical Agency.

If I may, it seems Los Angeles has rather agreed with you, Miss Carter.

Season 2 of Agent Carter made use of the Universal Studios backlot, especially around Courthouse Square (the Back to the Future square).

The sets included the Aurebach Talent Agency, a Gas Station, some miscellaneous streets, a phone booth, and a Donut Shop where Jason & Peggy stop, the SSR Facility that Dottie escapes from, a London Street, and the big showdown at Stark Pictures in the final episode.
