White Castle, Chicago | MCU Location Scout

Exterior of White Castle burger.

Unfortunately, this place is now closed. Health code violation. There’s a murderous snake in the building.

Riri and Zelma enjoy a meal at White Castle when The Hood’s gang comes gunning for Riri. She must use her wits and some improvised weapons to keep herself safe until NATALIE and her Ironheart armor show up.

Since the production filmed in Atlanta, there were no actual White Castle restaurants to film at–so they built their own. It was created at 431 Edgewood Avenue SE, and was so convincing that, according to the behind-the-scenes featurette, “Chicago Style,” people walked in believing it was a real White Castle chain opening up in Atlanta.
