‘Captain America’ sequel to film in Ohio



Taking advantage of the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit program to film scenes for Captain America: The Winter Soldier in the state.
Movie crews will film over about 150 days at locations in northeast and southern Ohio, the state said, bringing an estimated 2,778 jobs tied to the production. The work is expected to generate an economic impact of $35 million, the Ohio Development Services Agency’s Film Office said. That should result in $9.5 million in tax credits returned to the producers.
Filming in Ohio is expected to begin in February, with a release date for the movie in spring 2014.
Marvel Studios, a unit of the Walt Disney Co., (NYSE:DIS), used state tax credits when filming The Avengers in downtown Cleveland in summer 2011. That movie capped a string of hits in recent years for the studio, including Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.
A Cleveland State University study this year on the economic impact of the motion picture tax credits found more than 9,000 jobs and $19.5 million in wages resulted from 27 projects that took advantage of the tax credit since its introduction in 2009, although little of that reached Central Ohio.
