From which direction did Iron Man fly after the nuke headed towards Manhattan?

I'm trying to figure something out (bored, haha) about the nuke in Avengers Assemble that was gonna blow up Manhattan. \[Image 2\] is from this website that shows this stuff, and \[Image 1\] is Iron Man flying after the nuke.

Soooo would I be correct in assuming he flew from under where it says New York towards there? Basing this off the fact Iron Man flies after the nuke past this smaller island before NY, and that I'm seeing this on NUKEMAP too.

He was flying south to intercept the nuke. It then flew by him in the harbor around the Verrazano bridge. he then chased it north, caught it, and redirected it into the portal. If I remember correctly.
Stark tower replaced the real Met Life building on 42nd and park. So midtown

Oooh thanks!

Stark tower is actually on top of part of the MetLife building, if you look at the base it's the same

That's also why the avengers 1 group shot was in front of Grand Central Terminal

he is approaching the southernmost tip of Manhattan; that island off to the right side of image 2 (with the brown brick building) is "Governors Island" and the Statue of Liberty is (out of frame) to the left. on his current flight path he will cross into Manhattan directly over the Battery.

Towards the second tower

One of the few times they get directions in NYC right. Don’t get me started on Cloverfield and The Day After Tomorrow.

Giamatt222025-12-03 00:44

Or Independence Day where the Empire State Building is right in the middle of 5th Ave.

fyreprone2025-12-03 01:00

Or even this new Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire movie that no one saw.

The big giant frozen storm thing comes in off the east coast. We see it come in from the ocean from the perspective of folks on Coney Island. Which is clearly east maybe southeast ish.

It starts around 0:20 in this trailer.

Then we see the same storm at 0:48 in the trailer from the perspective of northern Manhattan facing south. With the big scary frozen storm coming in now from the west over New Jersey. The storm seems centered over Jersey City. And there’s no evidence of the previous storm on the horizon out to the southeast or east.

Where is the Apollo Theater in relation to 5th Avenue?

Giamatt222025-12-03 03:17

I believe it’s a few blocks to the west.

NotAStatistic22025-12-03 03:23

What's it like going there? Does it live up to all of the hype?

Giamatt222025-12-03 03:26

Never been to the Apollo but New York is great! Lots of energy and always something to do. The touristy parts are very crowded but there’s plenty of cool neighborhoods to visit. Definitely should check it out if you can.

My favorite is Home Alone 2. When Kevin leaves the airport he covers a startling amount of lower half of Manhattan, in nonsensical order, in a short amount of time.

That’s what The Avengers was called in some markets (the UK) to differentiate it from another Avengers film series.

3seven12025-12-03 21:39

They should have called it that everywhere! Thanks for letting me know.
