Movies and TV series filmed in São Paulo

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names São Paulo as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

  • Thor: Ragnarok 2017
    “Directed by Jonathan Gurvit and shot in São Paulo, it features the Hulk destroying a satellite headed towards the city.” Wikipedia
  • Sense8 2015–2018
    “The major locations they filmed in include all of the first season's except Reykjavík, and the following new ones: Amsterdam, Argyll, Chippenham, Los Angeles, Malta, Positano, Redwoods, and São Paulo.” Wikipedia
  • I'm Still Here 2024
  • Lovers Like Us 1975
    “Rappeneau originally wanted to shoot the film in Brazil, following a trip to the country to present The Married Couple of the Year Two in the early 1970s, during which he imagined the contrast between the "brutality" of São Paulo and the "idyllic atmosphere" of the coastal city of Santos.” Wikipedia
  • Pixote 1980

Filming locations inside São Paulo

4 places inside São Paulo, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against São Paulo too.

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in São Paulo, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
