As for a release date, Marvel said it would be out this spring but there have been strong rumours on social media that it will be shown on June 21.

There was much excitement and a real buzz about the whole of Calderdale when the Marvel crew descended on Halifax to film in January last year.

The Piece Hall was shut for a week while crews filmed there, and there were also cameras spotted at Dean Clough and on one of the back streets near Bull Green.

The Courier was the first to reveal what was to be filmed in the town after signs went up for ‘Jambalaya’.

The location manager for the production, Emma Jane Richards, has since revealed how the series came to be filmed in Halifax, saying they needed a square for their show - and The Piece Hall fitted the bill perfectly.
