Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday is gearing up for a massive shoot this summer, and one of its key locations? Windsor Great Park, right next to Windsor Castle.

That's right—Marvel struck a multi-million-pound deal with the British Royal Family to film scenes on their historic turf.

According to The Sun, Marvel is shelling out a hefty check to use the land, with one insider calling it "chicken feed" compared to what these movies make. (Avengers: Endgame pulled in $2 billion, after all.) The money reportedly goes toward upkeep of the park, which, in case you didn't know, is technically open to the public—so you might just wander into a set if you're lucky.

Around 300 crew members are expected on-site during filming. And no, King Charles won't be hanging around to watch it happen—he'll be up at Balmoral in Scotland, far away from any MCU action. But maybe the younger royals will swing by. Prince George probably has Spider-Man pajamas.

There's no word on how Windsor Castle fits into the movie's plot, but leaked documents mention sets for Luke Cage's house and a new character named Annie Reynolds. So unless Charles is secretly playing Mephisto, it's safe to assume this is all background.

For now, Marvel fans can rest easy knowing the MCU is expanding... into royal real estate. And while the King won't be suiting up for battle, his lawns might.
