Filming for the series began in London last year and it is due to be released on Disney+.

As reported yesterday, a Marvel film crew were spotted on the edge of Halifax town centre along with equipment including a crane.

They are understood to have filmed a scene yesterday evening which involved theatrical smoke.

The Piece Hall and its businesses are still open today, tomorrow and Sunday, but some surrounding roads are being shut, including some from today.
