A major production company is shooting their film in downtown D.C. this week, and unfortunately, it's having a not-so-super effect on traffic patterns.
According to a traffic advisory from D.C. police, sent out Monday, the movie shoot will close roads to traffic on Wednesday night into the early hours of Thursday morning.
Parking will be affected for even longer, until Friday evening.

News4's Tommy McFly spotted signs around the blocked-off area that read "Leased to Marvel Film Productions, LLC" -- so odds are good that it's a Marvel flick.
The odds of Marvel being in D.C. right now are even better considering Director of the Office of Cable Television, Film, Music and Entertainment LaTonya Foster said back in March that the movie studio would be filming in the District, as DCist first reported.
"I know you all will be excited about this," Foster said. "We have Marvel coming to Washington, D.C. Now, I can’t give you too much about that, but let me tell you, we’re going to have a huge Marvel film taking place right in downtown that you won’t want to miss out on.”
The specific hero gracing the streets of the District, however, has not been confirmed.
A number of sources have speculated that it may be "Captain America: New World Order" filming in D.C., but as our news partner WTOP reported, officials haven't confirmed anything yet.
