Tom Holland as Spider-man

Spider-man will be making himself at home in Bishop's Stortford next week when filming begins on Marvel Studio's latest superhero blockbuster.

Spider-man: Homecoming

Star Tom Holland is expected on set when Rose Line Productions UK Ltd crews start work on the feature inside two locations – one in South Street and the other in North Street – on Monday (July 2).

The 22-year-old Londoner is reprising his role as web-slinger Peter Parker in June 2017’s Spider-man: Homecoming for Spider-man: Far From Home, which will be released in July 2019.

Holland has also appeared as Spidey in Captain America: Civil War and, most recently, Avengers: Infinity War. He will also play the radioactive hero in the fourth, as yet untitled Avengers film.

The movie’s working title is “Bosco”, and last week businesses and residents in the town centre were warned of potential disruption “for a number of days” in order to prepare and then reinstate the locations for the feature.

The new Spider-man film will also star Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes/Vulture, Jacob Batalon as Ned, Zendaya as Michelle Jones, Marisa Tomei as May Parker and heart-throb Jake Gyllenhaal rumoured to be cast as villain Mysterio. It is being directed by Jon Watts, who was at the helm of Homecoming.

Preparations for the filming in Stortford have been shrouded in secrecy, but rumours have been buzzing around the town, including the suggestion that Tom Hardy was the star of “Bosco”.

In fact, the 40-year-old is playing Venom in a Spider-man spin-off and has just finished filming Al Capone biopic Fonzo. There is speculation his next role will be iconic war photographer Don McCullin in a biopic.

Star spotters are in for a tough time according to the Rose Line letter distributed to businesses and residents of South Street, Station Road, Newtown Road, North Street, Water Lane and Hadham Road affected by the production.

“The scenes we are filming will be entirely of the interior of our locations, though due to the size of the locations, the majority of our crew and equipment will be positioned outside between public and private spaces.

“We shall endeavour to keep footpaths open at all times, though should we have to block the way with equipment, we shall ensure that there is a safe diversion in place.

“We will maintain access to any doorways or businesses. Though… there is a chance we may need to ask members of the public to hold for short periods of a couple of minutes at a time if we are in the middle of filming.

“We plan to park our essential technical vehicles as close to our filming location as possible and are making arrangements to park between South Street, Newtown Road and then North Street in suspended bays and on double and single yellow lines.”

Rose Line has been liasing with Herts County Council’s highways department, East Herts Council and the town council in advance of Monday’s filming.

Tom Holland revealed the title of his latest Spider-man outing in an Instagram video.

He said: “I don’t know much about it. I’m a little confused because I died [in Avengers: Infinity War]. So I don’t really know how it all comes into play.

“But what I do know is I’ve got the new script. I’m super-excited to read it. It’s going to be great. So yeah, Spider-man 2 – let’s do this!”

Then he holds up his tablet, showing the title is Spider-man: Far From Home.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige told io9.gizmodo.com: “We start filming early July. We film in London. We shot [the] first film in Atlanta.

“And we shoot a lot of films in London, but there’s another reason we’re shooting in London, which is, yes, Spidey, of course, will spend some time in New York, but he’ll spend some time in other parts of the globe.”
