New York City (1933) [Hennesey Street] | MCU Location Scout

Mayoral rally outside Ben Reilly's office.

With no power comes no responsibility.

Spider-Noir was filmed on the backlots of two major studios, Warner Bros. and Universal Studios. Warner Bros. has two separate backlots, the smaller neighborhood area called Hennesey Street and the more metropolitan New York Street. This is the former. Hennesey Street has been used for period pieces, like Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD‘s time traveling adventures, as well as Daredevil (2003), Spider-Man (2002), and Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).

Laundry Alley, New York (Episode 1)

An initial montage of The Spider’s exploits opens with the character landing in an alley strung with clotheslines and emerging as Ben Reilly, Private Investigator.
