Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Spider-Man: Brand New Day followed in the footsteps of previous MCU releases like Avengers Assemble and Fantastic Four, and was filmed entirely in the UK. London stepped in for New York with the film making use of locations across the capital, including the University of London’s Senate House in Bloomsbury.

It appears as the headquarters of the Department of Damage Control, and Production Designer Charles Wood has explained that the building was chosen for its scale and architecture, which offered a convincing starting point for the fictional New York headquarters. On screen, the 19-storey Art Deco building is digitally extended even further into the Manhattan skyline.

It is the latest in a long line of major productions to make use of Senate House. The Bloomsbury landmark has previously appeared in Batman Begins, No Time to Die, and Fast & Furious 6, among others. The Spider-Man shoot took place before FilmFixer began managing filming at Senate House, but we’re very pleased to have since welcomed such an established screen location into our portfolio and to see another example of just how convincingly it can transform on screen.

The production also had a sizeable presence elsewhere in the borough, with a major unit base operating in Camden during filming. Through the Camden Film Office, FilmFixer regularly supports the infrastructure that sits behind shoots of this scale, from filming activity itself to the unit bases and logistical spaces required to keep large productions moving.

From a Bloomsbury landmark transformed into a Marvel headquarters to the production operation supporting the shoot nearby, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is another brilliant example of the role London continues to play in bringing major international productions to the screen.
