Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 2 | 2017
Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) gets to find out who his alien father is. The good news is he's played by Kurt Russell (and for a second or two by David Hasselhoff), the bad news is he's called Ego and more than lives up to his name.
Most of the film was made on huge sets at what was Pinewood Atlanta, now Trilith Studios, Atlanta, Georgia. There's very little location filming.
The brief views of earth are the 'Dairy Queen', behind which Ego plants his seed and which has become 'DQ Grill & Chill' by the time it blooms into life to destroy the world.
This was BB's Cafe, which closed to become a beauty parlor which now also seems to be closed. The building is, for the time being, still recognisable at 5039 Memorial Drive, west of the city of Stone Mountain, off I-285 about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta.
Georgia's burgeoning film industry has seen Stone Mountain appearing in the 2011 remake of Footloose, 2014's Need For Speed and in TV series Stranger Things.
Around 43 miles northwest of Atlanta, the city of Cartersville became the small town overrun by the ever expanding blue glob.
It's glimpsed rolling through town along East Main Street at Museum Drive.
On the carpark on Wall Street alongside Mellow Mushroom pizza restaurant at East Main Street, astonished townsfolk foolishly stop to take photos (let's be honest, we'd all perish wanting to be first to post pictures online).
As Peter Quill battles with Ego, the blob comes to an unexpected halt in front of Biscuit House on North Wall Street at East Cherokee Avenue.
