On Wednesday, the film's cast and crew were pictured hard at work on set in Otago. 

The Disney project, which has a budget of over US$100 million, is based on the fantasy novel by Madeleine L'Engle.

Currently shooting at Hunter Valley Station near Lake Hawea, the production staff were treated to a traditional Maori welcome on Tuesday.

Director Ava DuVernay thanked the locals for their hospitality on Instagram beside a photo of the cast and crew.

She wrote: 'Welcomed with a Powhiri. Blessed with a Karakia. United with a Haka. Grateful to the Maori people, Tangata Whenua, for receiving us so warmly. Thank you!'  

The plot centres around the daughter of a government scientist, who is sent on a mission to find her father by three mysterious women after his surprise disappearance.
