No more green screens? It looks like the fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland will take the MCU franchise back to basics in terms of its approach to filmmaking. According to the actor, the audience will be offered a «breath of fresh air» among hundreds of CGI projects.
«I’m certainly over the moon and very excited,» said Holland in a new interview, discussing his return to the role of Peter Parker. «Playing Spider-Man is like spending time with an old friend. Because of COVID, we were very limited in what we could do in the last movie; we shot everything in pavilions. Now we’re going to go back to the old school of filmmaking».
Holland clarifies that the filming will take place in «real places» and will start in Glasgow.
«We’re going to use the streets of Glasgow to create large-scale sets. So it’s going to be like the 2017 production of Spider-Man. It’s been a long time since I’ve done it, it’s going to be like a breath of fresh air and I think the fans are going to be excited about what we’re creating».
