The Williamsburg Bridge hasn't exactly gotten a lot of screen time compared to New York City's other, more photogenic bridges. Tonight, however, your friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man will return to the bridge for another night of filming (when they were there last week the lights could be seen from far away... according to this photo, at least a mile). It's unclear what they'll be shooting on the bridge, but hopefully it's more than just Peter Parker brooding, as he recently did at a shoot in Woodside, Queens:

We're hoping for something a little bit more like this... or a cameo by former Spider-Man cast member James Franco. Either way, if you catch any of the action send us your photos!
