New York City is the residence of many of Marvel’s the majority of iconic heroes. The business that would later on end up being Marvel Comics proudly began in an office on West 42nd Street. Marvel’s headquarters stay in The Big Apple to today, just a couple of roads over at 135 West 50th. In-universe, the city is among the most vital locations in the franchise business as well.

Apart from the occasional landmark and also the fact that every bystander has a thick accent, New York City does not stand out as a vital area. Sam Raimi’s New York City is the only one that recorded the magic of the page.
With that in mind, all 3 films in the trilogy seldom if ever before leave the city limitations. Raimi’s take on New York City perfectly records the magic of the city and the one-of-a-kind otherworldly result that Marvel Comics lends it.
A lots of the Spider-Man trilogy was filmed on place in New York City, however other locations were also extremely prominent.

Physician Strange in the Multiverse of Madness gave followers the first look at that Raimi’s take on the city in 15 years, as well as it’s still impressive. That film really did not concentrate on it, but Raimi’s NYC is the best awareness of a city a superhero film has ever before achieved. The MCU will certainly be going back to the city, and also they can find out a whole lot from Sam Raimi.
