Sony owns the film rights to Spider-Man, while Disney owns the character through its acquisition of Marvel Entertainment and has a licensing deal with Sony for its use in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This means Sony controls the production of live-action Spider-Man films, and Disney owns the merchandising rights and can use the character in Avengers films. Sony also holds the rights to live-action TV series.

In Spiderman: No Way Home, Mysterio had exposed Peter Parker’s identity as Spiderman and tried to frame him for murder.

It also saw a return from Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire who both played versions of Spiderman from another universe.

Viewers were left on a cliff hanger as the world eventually forgets who Peter Parker is, including MJ played Zendaya and Ned played by Jacob Batalon.

Peter visits MJ and Ned later but chooses not to remind them who he is, seeing they’re happy and safe. He moves into a small apartment, sews a new Spider-Man suit, and continues fighting crime – alone and anonymous again.

Dorchester Prison is a popular spot for filming including for drama Ruth, starring Lucy Boynton which is set in 1955, and follows the life of Ruth Ellis, Britain’s last woman to hang, told over two parallel timelines.

Filming for the drama took place in Dorchester Prison and the ‘B Wing Hanging Shed’ was completely closed for filming with one of the cells being labelled ‘Ruth’s cell.’

 Disney + also filmed in the 10-part drama, Say Nothing.

Say Nothing is based on a book by the same name written by Patrick Radden Keefe, detailing the life and death of Jean McConville, who was abducted and murdered by the IRA in 1972.

HMP Dorchester was a local men’s prison built in the 1800’s and was formally closed in 2014

The prison which housed criminals, murderers and even held public executions is now a popular filming location for shows like Luther, Enola Holmes 2, and The Gold.

Equally, it is believed that the site may be haunted and is also used for ghost tours.
