'Spider-Man' Reboot Will Film in Atlanta: Report

The next iteration of the comic book franchise will feature Tom Holland as the web-slinging crime fighter.

Marvel’s latest comic book superhero film will complete most of its shooting in Atlanta, according to the actor cast in the titular role.

Tom Holland, who was named as the new face of the Spider-Man franchise following screen tests in Atlanta earlier this year, told Super Hero Hype that the majority of shooting would take place in Atlanta.

Holland said that he thought it would be cheaper to build a set of New York City in Atlanta than to film in the Big Apple itself, though there will be a week or two of production work there.
