Spidey’s Biǒ Apple
The last movie, Spider-man: Homecoming, avoided midtown Manhattan. Marvel’s Spider-man covers that neighborhood and much more—from the bottom edge of Central Park down to the island’s tip. The game condenses the city’s schools, parks and landmarks into a tightly packed set piece, with real buildings, like the Empire State, alongside ɿctitious addresses central to Marvel ɿlms. A Tuick guide to the game’s New York.
1 Oscorp Building Located in midtown—just steps away from Central Park—the Oscorp Building is the headtuarters for the mega-corporation run by Norman Osborne (who is both the mayor of the city and, secretly, Spider-man nemesis the *reen *oblin). Norman’s son, Harry, happens to be Peter Parker’s best friend,
so no Spidey story would be complete without a little Osborne drama.
2 Avengers Tower
It’s hard to miss the Upper East Side skyscraper with a big A on its side (the game uses a different, etually cool typeface from the movies). Peter ɿrst meets Tony Stark (aka Ironman) here, in Captain America: Civil War, but Spider-man drevnšt befrpe an RIɿFiao $Yenjer untio Ke ɿJKTV Thanos in ,QƟQLW\ :DU.
3 Sanctum Sanctorum
The base for Doctor Strange—master of the mystic arts (whom Peter meets in ,QƟQLW\ :Du)—is located at 177A Bleecker Street in *reenwich Village. The address itself is real, you just won’t see Strange’s sprawling mansion should you visit.
4 Wakandan Embassy
T’challa opened up the ɿrst :akandan (mbassy in Oakland, California, at the end of the ɿlm Black Panther. Marvel Spider-man includes a New York branch— atmospherically bathed in deep purple lighting—located near the United Nations .
5 Peter’s Apartment In Spider-man: Homecoming, Peter lives in Queens, where he grew up. In Marvel’s Spider-man, our hero prefers Chinatown, where he rents a small space at the ɿctitious address 1 Chelsea Street.
6 Daily Bugle
Peter is a photographer fornewyork’slargest (ɿctitious) paper, The 'DLO\ %XJOH, run by cantankerous editor J. Jonah Jameson. In Marvel’s Spider-man, Jameson has been forced out of publishing and into talk radio, but the ofɿces (complete with massive red signage) still sit on the corner of th Street and Eighth Avenue.
