12 of the Biggest Movies Shot in the U.K.: ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’ ‘Muppets’

Lured by generous tax incentives, many of Hollywood's biggest films have shot in London or plan to decamp for the U.K.

"Guardians of the Galaxy": Marvel Studios has done an expert job of scouting out places like North Carolina and New Mexico to get tax credits and rebates on films like "Iron Man 3" and "The Avengers." For its upcoming adventure film about interstellar do-gooders, Marvel is following a similar strategy of going where the money is by having its adventurers touch down in London's Shepperton Studios.
