00:00The MCU universe is so expansive with so many great characters.
00:04And you realize, oh man, we haven't been to Chicago yet.
00:07Set a course to Chicago.
00:11For Ironheart, it was paramount that we shoot practically as much as possible in Chicago on location.
00:17Thanos was just the beginning.
00:19Chicago's a vibe.
00:20You can feel the history in the neighborhoods and the architecture.
00:23You can't fake it. The style, the culture, the smell, the wind.
00:27The real Chicago pizza, thin crust cut in squares is very important.
00:30It's so cool getting to bring Chicago to Marvel. The real deal.
00:35We brought in a lot of people who understand the energy and the soul of that city, both in front of and behind the camera.
00:41From cast members to directors, writers.
00:44Got hair, makeup teams from Chicago. Their sneaker game galore.
00:48If you were just watching people's feet in this show, oh snap. They look fun and they look cool.
00:53It's really exciting to be able to build a whole world.
00:57It was really important that the sets paid homage to the architecture.
01:01Different layers of wall and brick and the wood.
01:03It feels like places that I hung out at when I was coming up in Chicago.
01:07They built a whole white castle. It's crazy.
01:10What? I like white castle.
01:12Saw somebody try to walk in here the other day and 20 people would be like,
01:15No, no, no. Sorry, it's not real. The kitchen doesn't work.
01:17I mean, it's a testament to the art department and how incredibly detailed they are.
01:22Action!
01:24Everyone really invested sweat, blood and tears and you can see it on the other side.
01:28Chicago is home. Always has been.
01:31It has been.
