MCU Spider-Man Takes a New Direction: ‘Real Locations’ and ‘Old School Filmmaking’ Confirmed

The highly anticipated and beloved “street-level” version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Spider-Man has now been officially confirmed. This marks a significant shift in direction for the franchise, which has recently explored more fantastical themes with the inclusion of the multiverse.

As reported by Forbes, Tom Holland, the actor behind the iconic web-slinger, has openly discussed his role in the upcoming film, stating that the team will be leaning into “old school filmmaking” and utilizing real locations to shoot. It is crucial to note that filming has been taking place in Glasgow, Scotland, which raises questions about the possibility of pretending the city as NYC (New York City), where Spider-Man is typically set.

Regardless of this specific concern, it is fantastic news for fans of the franchise, as Spider-Man’s recent forays into interdimensional exploration have resulted in significant success. The previous film, “No Way Home”, made nearly two billion dollars at the box office.

In a surprising turn of events, the inclusion of Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher, has also been confirmed. This character, typically found in gritty, realistic settings, could potentially open up new opportunities for collaborations with other Marvel characters, such as Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
