Legend is not the first movie to film in Brockley this year.

In February, the Muppets stopped by and the TV series Dr Who was filmed at the Rivoli.

In April, the stars and crew of The Avengers 2 filmed in the area, with Captain America Chris Evans spotted crossing the road and director Joss Whedon snapped by Instagram user jon_choo
