Although Indiana Jones 5 is set in New York City, these scenes were actually filmed in Hatton Garden.

While holding production in these areas, the team faced complaints from locals who were inconvenienced by the Dial of Destiny's shooting schedule.

One Hackney resident told The U.S. Sun: "They closed the road so it caused a lot of disruption. Some people were outside arguing over spaces.

"I could hear angry voices and lots of cars driving around. People should at least be compensated."

A second neighbor commented: "My friend got home from work and had to park 15 minutes away. She was f*****g fuming with them."

As Indiana Jones battles Nazis in his fifth installment, some of the scenes were partially shot at Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland.

The historic castle was built centuries ago in the year 1164 and is rumored to be haunted by a ghost dubbed "The Pink Lady."

"A surprising number of the crew really believe in this stuff and it’s rattled everyone," a source revealed to The U.S. Sun at the time of filming.

"It sounds silly but before filming even starts, all any of us are talking about is the ghost. It’s a seriously creepy place.

"A number of the team are reluctant to even go into the oldest part of the castle, it’s really shaken them up.

"Aside from the ghosts, it’s a huge production and great news for the British film industry, which has been on its knees for 18 months.

"It’s great to see such a huge blockbuster getting underway. It’s a major priority for the studio so it needs to get going – ghosts or not."
