Rooftops, Moscow | MCU Location Scout

Agent Ross exiting stairwell onto Moscow roof.

Show me your hands!

Agent Ross exits a stairwell and runs across various rooftops, chased by a man who is later revealed to be Talos in disguise. Ross attempts to jump a gap between two buildings, misses, and falls to his death on the cobblestone street below, where Maria Hill discovers him.

The rooftop scene was shot in London, on top of 81 Brick Lane. The door that Ross exits from is on the Northwest corner of the building. The steeple of Christ Church Spitalfields is visible (barely) on the right side of the image above. You can even make out the area where Ross slides between the two roof sections. He leaps off the North side of the roof, but crashes onto a different street than Dray Walk, which is not a cobblestone road.

This location was determined utilizing an additional shot that was part of the second released “Official” trailer for the show from April 2023. The image below was not included in the final episode.

While researching locations for a later episode, it was discovered that a nighttime reshoot in September 2022 took place at the Historic Dockyards in Chatham. Checking the visuals below, with some photos from the streets in the area, confirmed that Agent Ross’s death was filmed on what is known as Ropery Street, outside the Victorian Ropery building.
