Budapest’s streets are alive with Hollywood stars as filming continues on the new action series 12/12/12, starring Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey) and Anthony Mackie (Marvel’s Falcon/Captain America). Dornan arrived in the Hungarian capital a few days ago, while Mackie, currently commuting between London and Budapest for a new Marvel film, has just joined him on set.
The main set is located at St. Stephen’s Basilica, transformed into a winter wonderland with artificial snow, festive decorations, and a large Christmas tree—hinting at the series’ Christmas-themed heist storyline. Filming also extends to Andrássy Avenue and the surrounding 6th district, where streets are similarly decked out in holiday decor. Dornan was even spotted filming outside Semmelweis University.
Mackie was seen on set by a TikTok user, quickly sparking social media buzz. Dornan, however, has yet to appear alongside Mackie—suggesting they may be filming their scenes separately. Fans can check out a short video of Mackie’s Budapest experience here.
12/12/12 centers on a major heist set during the holiday season. While plot details remain under wraps, the show promises a mix of action and drama, with Dornan’s romantic drama background contrasting with Mackie’s Marvel action resume—a pairing that suggests an exciting dynamic.
Production continues in Budapest, with fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars in front of the Basilica or along the decorated streets of the 6th district. As always, please respect the cast and crew’s work while they’re on set—a friendly hello is fine, but avoid disrupting filming.
