The famous math problem scene? That’s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, right across the river. MIT is the temple of genius, and Will is the uninvited god. It’s here he meets Skylar, and where his superpowers get discovered. Ever felt like everyone else got a rulebook you didn’t? That’s Will at MIT.
Fun fact: The movie was actually shot at MIT’s campus, including the hallways and the ivy-covered buildings. But the filmmakers also used locations at the University of Toronto for some indoor scenes—because, hey, movie magic. Still, the soul of the place is pure Cambridge: old books, smart people, and a heavy sense of expectation.
