Channing Tatum has been attached to star in this X-Men spinoff for quite some time. the character is from New Orleans, so it makes sense that they would film there. The budget for the film was slated for $155 million back in 2015. So, a big chunk of that is bound to be spent here in Louisiana.

An estimated $34.8 million of the budget will be spent in Louisiana.
