It isn't absurd to be a little confused by the reasoning from Marvel Studios to come to Savannah to film its next blockbuster movie - making the Hostess City a version of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1987 for a flashback sequence in "Ant-Man and the Wasp."

Regardless of the reasoning, the crew is happy to make both Savannah, and Georgia, their home for some of the world's biggest movies.

"We did have specific needs architecturally for the period of the movie and most of our filming has been in Atlanta (so far), but we wanted to stay in Georgia because we love the state," Charles Newirth, a producer on the "Ant-Man" sequel, said. "Beyond that, we thought Savannah has a much different menu of architectural choices, which it does, and there is so much fantastic history here."

Newirth, who has worked on a number of other Marvel projects, is returning to Savannah after 24 years when he was in the city filming "Forrest Gump" with director Robert Zemeckis and star Tom Hanks. According to him, the film landscape may have changed, but Savannah itself has stayed the same.

"I'll say that my recollection of being in Savannah (in 1993) and what I've experienced now is not something that's changed, but something that is constant, which is the incredible hospitality of the city and the people of Savannah as well as the cooperation that we get from the city," Newirth said.

"It is something we don't see everywhere that we go in the United States or other cities around the world, and the folks here have bent over backwards to make things work for us and that level of cooperation and hospitality is so important to us. It makes our lives easier."

The latest entry in the "Ant-Man" series returns Paul Rudd to the title role alongside Evangeline Lilly as the titled "Wasp". The sequence being filmed in Savannah featured Michael Douglas, who starred in the first film as Hank Pym, and Michelle Pfeiffer, who is joining the franchise as Janet Van Dyne. The 1987 Argentinian setting is actually East Saint Julian Street, located beside the Olde Pink House in Reynolds Square, where a large blue screen was placed in between buildings on Drayton Street to go along with a number of period specific cars and a marketplace to emulate the streets of Buenos Aires.

Newirth said the movie will succeed if viewers watch the scene and are none-the-wiser to the fact that the streets of Buenos Aires being shown are actually in downtown Savannah.

The "Ant-Man and the Wasp" production wrapped on Tuesday, but Newirth hopes that a return to Savannah with one of his future projects.

"There is a kindness with the people here in Savannah. It made it a pleasure back in 1993, and that hasn't changed, and it has made it a pleasure now in 2017."
