Moon Knight Star Says Marvel Looking to Move Away From "Over-Crowded" New York in MCU Projects

With its iconic skyline, familiar streets and bustling, densely populated boroughs, it is no wonder that so many movies and TV shows choose New York City as their setting. Whether it is gangsters, aliens, lost children, crime waves or superheroes, they all seem to end up taking the city as their playground for two to three hours, leading to widescale on-screen destruction and races against time to save the world. To flesh that point out a little further, so far, just under half of the movies and TV shows set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have centered on stories set in New York, from The Incredible Hulk in 2008 all the way through to Spider-Man: Now Way Home, which set its finale on the staple location of the Statue of Liberty. However, it looks like that is all that is about to change.
