Two urban explorers claim to have stumbled upon an abandoned film set deep within a mine in the Derbyshire Dales, allegedly used in the upcoming Fantastic Four Marvel movie. The pair, who wish to remain anonymous, ventured 300m underground and 8km into the tunnels of Middleton mine after discovering the entrance was open.
There, they found a surprising array of items, including an American school bus, a stage, and a lift car, on October 18. According to the explorers, they were informed by two individuals who assisted the film’s staff and actors that the set was left behind after filming for the rumoured movie, The Fantastic Four: Blue Moon.
Interestingly, the same network of tunnels was reportedly used by Tom Cruise in March for the latest Mission Impossible film. One of the explorers recalled their experience, saying: “The mine once had huge concrete blocks over the entrance but I was hiking and noticed they’d been removed.

“It was unbelievable – incredible. I usually like to find interesting artefacts, but I’ve not found a film set before.
“We were walking along with our torches and we suddenly found this area all built up and an old American bus just sitting there.
“The lighting rigs were there on scaffolding and a map of where they wanted all the lights to be. It’s very bizarre to see an elevator car just sitting in the middle of a roadway, and a stage in front of the bus.
“There was all sorts of machinery they had used to set up, and a cabin with a microwave and kettle.
“There were all sorts of pipes they’d used to keep the air clean – there’s a risk of radon gas down there.
“It was quite something to see the film set – it wasn’t what we had expected at all.
“I believe they filmed for Lord of The Rings in there and also Mission Impossible.”
After spending four hours exploring both mines, one explorer said: “Some of the lead mine tunnels are quite scary.”
