New York, London, and the farthest reaches of the galaxy are probably what first comes to mind when you think of Marvel filming locations.
However, there are a few that are much closer to home than you might think.
Edinburgh has a long history of being popular for filming locations, with big titles like Trainspotting and Fast and Furious set in our capital city.
You’ll most likely have been to many of these locations, perhaps without realising, especially if you’ve spent any time in Edinburgh.
Here are seven Marvel filming locations spanning two films, all located in Edinburgh.

5. St Giles Cathedral, Avengers: Infinity War
Vision and Corvus Glaive continue to fight it out on the roof of Giles Cathedral on the other side of the Mile. They smash each other into the wall, breaking apart stones that are almost a thousand years old. Vision does considerably more damage when he unleashes his laser, which blasts through the roof of the cathedral and even reaches the Mercat Cross in the square below, where Wanda and Proxima Midnight are still fighting.

Hearing Vision cry from above, Wanda breaks away from her fight by throwing Midnight into the City Chambers again. She takes off, grabbing Vision on her way, only to be shot down again by Midnight's alien-tech blade. Both Wanda and Vision crash into the roof of Waverley Station, landing near Platform 5. Midnight and Glaive approach, only to be fought off by the arrival of Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, and Sam Wilson. You can also spot the Quinn Jet parked on the ramp leading up to Waverley Bridge at the end of the scene. Photo: Disney / Getty
To close off the Avengers' time in Edinburgh during Avengers: Infinity War, we get a parting, if blurry, shot of Edinburgh Castle through the closing door of the Quinn Jet as the team pulls away. Photo: Disney / Getty
