Interstitial Shots, New York | MCU Location Scout

If your transportation around the city is a bicycle, you could be eligible for a massive tax rebate this upcoming April.

Daredevil: Born Again uses random establishing and interstitial shots of the city and its people to help build the idea that the city is also a character. This was previously used to great effect on Ms. Marvel. Please enjoy this collection of imagery from the city that never sleeps, and if you can help identify any locations, please write in to MCULocationScout@gmail.com.

Episode 1

WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK – The series starts off easy with the couple silhouetted in front of the Arch at Washington Square Park, as seen from the fountain. Probably to lull me into a false sense of accomplishment for taking on the insane task of tracking random shots of a city (again)! Episode 5 features another shot from this location.

UNKNOWN – Man riding his bike down a street at night, presumably in Greenwich Village, but unconfirmed.
