Marvel is relocating much of its future slate from Georgia to the UK, a move driven by higher labour costs in Georgia and competitive British tax reliefs.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the shift includes The Fantastic Four: First Steps and planned Avengers and Spider-Man titles, with Georgia's production spending down nearly 50% over the past three years.
