by Jovial Jay January 17, 2018

Who would think that a church could double as a police station? Certainly not me, until I went looking for this Precinct!

MCU: Location Scout – Lake Ontario Lighthouse

by Jovial Jay January 3, 2018

For a season that takes place “in space,” so thereby on soundstages, Season 5 has had quite a few actual locations so far. The Lake Ontario Lighthouse is a great example, due to the fact that it does not appear to be stock photography, like so many other establishing shots, and it is also not a lighthouse on Lake Ontario!

by Jovial Jay December 27, 2017

What’s the best way to recreate Pier 13 from 1940s New York City? Digital sets are one way but also shooting footage in older parts of the United Kingdom is another way.

MCU: Location Scout – Stanley’s Pizza

I have always gotten a kick out of the fact that the pizza parlor that Bruce Banner works for in Incredible Hulk was called Stanley’s Pizza. It was a great homage to the original writer of the comic.

MCU: Location Scout – Howard Stark Mansion

by Jovial Jay November 22, 2017

Between Season 1 and Season 2 of Agent Carter, the series location switched from New York to Los Angeles. This is very convenient since Peggy’s benefactor, Howard Stark, happens to have homes in both cities. Let’s see where they are!

MCU: Location Scout – Project Insight

by Jovial Jay November 8, 2017

The Helicarriers of Project Insight are coming for people that live very close to me! This may have been my easiest find yet!

MCU: Location Scout – The Many Faces of Metro-General Hospital

by Jovial Jay October 18, 2017

If you live in the MCU and are in New York, chances are you will visit Metro-General Hospital at some point. Oftentimes it feels like it’s the only hospital in town, which is ridiculous, since the five boroughs have over 70 hospitals amongst themselves.
