SPIDER-MAN is going Scottish for the next instalment of the Marvel franchise.
My film insiders told me the next movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is going to be filmed in Glasgow in the coming weeks, with its stars Tom Holland and Zendaya setting up camp in the city.

It's a key change for the production, which I understand was originally going to be shot in Liverpool.
But my sources said that, after the horrific crash during the Liverpool FC victory parade in May, which saw 109 people injured, bosses decided to move away from the city.
A source said: 'The next Spider-Man will be filmed in Glasgow in Scotland.
'Production has started now and locals will see Tom and his co-stars out filming on location.

'It's really exciting for film fans living in Glasgow as they will see their city in the next movie.
"American flags have been planted around town to make it look like New York.
'It's uncanny when you look at some of the buildings and streets, it looks just like the Big Apple.
'Originally the plan was to film a lot of it in Liverpool but after the crash, they changed the plans.
'There were discussions about whether it was appropriate to stage big stunts, including car chases and explosions, in light of the awful incident.
'Filming is due to start in the coming days in Scotland so fans should keep their eyes peeled for webs on street corners.'

Tom is reprising his role as Peter Parker alongside Zendaya, who plays his love interest MJ in the movie.
Jacob Batalon is also back as Ned Leeds, while Sadie Sink is joining the cast.
Details about her role have been kept under lock and key, but it's rumoured she will be introduced on screen as X-Men character Jean Grey.
The film is slated for release next July but if you're lucky enough to be in Glasgow, you'll definitely be getting a glimpse of the action.

BECKY HILL and Gary Barlow have become an unlikely partnership, teaming up for a new track called Don't Look Down.
Gary said: 'It was the first time Becky and I met.
"She wandered in and we spoke a bit and then the music started to flow.
"I played a couple of chords, and she came to life.'
The track is out today, as is Renee Rapp's album Bite Me, Chapell Roan's single The Subway and Sam Ryder's The Feeling Never Went Away.
Sam's track will feature on the Eurovision runner-up's second album Heartland, out on October 17.

YACHT A KLASSY MOV
MYLEENE KLASS gets the last laugh on holiday after setting the cat among the pigeons back home in Blighty.
She shared this bikini snap from her yachting trip, following the release on Tuesday of podcast We Need To Talk, in which she dropped a showbiz bombshell. In the interview – covered in yesterday's paper– she claimed she once walked in on her ex-husband getting it on with a famous lady with a 'family brand' at her own birthday party.

Speculation has been rife about the identity of the mystery woman, with the Bizarre team bombarded with questions about it all week.
We are staying schtum for now, though, and it looks like Myleene couldn't be happier to have stirred up a scandal.
JUSTIN: MY BATTLE WITH LYME DISEASE
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has revealed he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease – amid criticism he wasn't singing during his live shows.
The singer has been playing shows across Europe and went viral after videos were shared of him holding the mic out so the crowd would sing long parts of his tracks instead of him.

But now he has opened up about the condition, which is transmitted through the bites of ticks.
Celebs including Bella Hadid, Shania Twain and Justin Bieber have also suffered with it.
In a post last night, Justin said: 'I've been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
"Living with this can be debilitating, mentally and physically.
'But I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going.'

MILEY CYRUS has been working on something big for next year to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Disney Channel show Hannah Montana, which gave her her big break.
She said: 'I want to design something really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this.
"Without Hannah, there wouldn't be this kind of… this me.'
'WORTH A GO, LADS
OASIS documentary maker Mat Whitecross has backed brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher to play Knebworth next year to mark the 30th anniversary of their mammoth show there.
Speaking exclusively at a screening of his 2016 film Supersonic at London store Selfridges, Mat said: 'It would be great if they did, they should definitely do it.

'It would be mad if they didn't.
"I know they are doing some European dates next year so it would be mad if they did not do it to mark 30 years.'
Mat is now looking to his next project and has the brothers' mum Peggy in his sights.
He think she's just as much of a character as Liam and Noel.
'She deserves her own film,' he explained. 'Peggy told me her entire life story when we made the Supersonic film.
'She is just a very sweet and funny person and has a surreal, filthy sense of humour, which has been inherited by the children.'
Mat also gave me his thoughts on Coldplay's recent 'kiss-cam' scandal, which revealed CEO Andy Byron's seemingly clandestine romance with his HR manager Kristin Cabot to the world earlier this month.
The director, who is the brains behind a number of the band's music videos, said: 'The kiss-cam thing was crazy.
"I don't understand the way it took off in the way that it did, but I guess that is the age we live in.
"Their reaction was ludicrous. But it is probably what a lot of people would do.'
Of the lawsuit Andy is rumoured to be bringing against CHRIS MARTIN and Co, Mat added: 'I don't think it is going to cost the band anything.'
And he hopes Coldplay haven't axed the kiss-cam by the time he next watches them live.
He said: 'I am going to see them in a couple of weeks and I wonder if they will change anything about the show.
"It is part of the act. What they do with the camera is funny and sweet and it is not supposed to catch people out.'

My insiders told me the Heavy Is The Head rapper hosted all of his mates in the suite to watch Noel Gallagher and brother Liam perform.
And as elated fans flooded down Wembley Way to jam themselves like sardines on to the Tube after the show, Stormzy and his mates kicked back in style.
A source said: 'Stormzy loved the Oasis show and got all his mates to join him there.
'Tickets were like gold dust so they were over the moon.
'Once the show was over, he kept the box open and they partied until just after 1am.
'They were having a great time and you could hear laughter coming out of their room for hours after the Gallaghers came off stage.'
I'm heading down to Wembley to watch Noel and Liam in action for a second time tonight and I cannot wait to see them again.
Whether I'll be able to last as late as Stormzy though, I'm not so sure.
BILLIE WEDNESDAY SNUB
IT'S a good thing BILLIE PIPER and Joanna Lumley don't have big egos.
The pair, who are new additions for series two of Netflix hit Wednesday, were on the purple carpet for its premiere in central London, but weren't invited on stage with lead Jenna Ortega and director Tim Burton.
Instead, they were left clapping politely from the audience, having been asked to stand up with their co-stars for a round of applause.
Jenna appeared to cover a yawn with her hand before exiting the stage.
She plays Wednesday well, both on and off screen.

The legendary boxer's younger sibling died yesterday at the age of 82. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Rahaman Ali has sadly passed away Credit: Getty 2 His brother Muhammad Ali is regarded as one of the greatest boxer's of all-time Credit: Getty Rahaman spent his final weeks in a hospice in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Muhammad's daughter Hana said in a touching tribute: "In Loving Memory of My Uncle Rock. "Today, the last living member of my father's immediate family returned to heaven. "My Uncle, lovingly known as Rock, was a sweet, gentle soul with a heart as big as the world. "He had that same sparkle in his eye that my father had… that same light, that same mischief, that same love. "They were close their entire lives, brothers by blood, but friends by choice. "Even as children, their bond was extraordinary. My father loved his brother like he was his own child. "I can just picture them now, reunited in heaven… playing Cowboys and Indians with the broomsticks they used to find in Mama Bird and Papa Cash's closet. Daddy always insisted on being the Cowboy, and Rock the Indian. "Or maybe they're back to one of their favourite games, Daddy convincing Rock to throw actual rocks at him so he could prove how fast he was by dodging them. "Whatever they're doing up there, I know it's full of joy, laughter, and the kind of brotherly love that helped shape our family. "Uncle Rock had a heart of gold. He never needed a spotlight to shine, and I believe that now, from above, he and Daddy are part of something bigger… something beautiful… something meant to help heal this broken world. "God bless you, Uncle Rock. You will be missed. You will be forever loved. "And when my time comes, I hope you and Daddy will both be there, waiting to welcome me home." DeVone Holt, who is the president of the Muhammad Ali Center, added: "You can't tell Muhammad's story without mentioning Rahaman. "He was one of the most constant sources of support for Muhammad during his career and their relationship was a true example of what it means to be my brother's keeper." Rahaman, who was born Rudolph Arnett Clay, was also a professional boxer from 1964 to 1972. He ended his heavyweight career with 14 bouts won, three lost and one draw. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

Swinney brands Gaza crisis ‘genocide' after Fringe show disrupted
Police were called to the Stand Comedy Club in Edinburgh after the First Minister was interrupted seven times by six different groups of protesters during a conversation with comedian Susan Morrison. The protesters urged the First Minister to describe the crisis as a genocide and stop state funding for arms companies. Speaking to journalists after the event, the First Minister said: 'It's quite clear that there is a genocide in Palestine – it can't be disputed. 'I have seen reports of terrible atrocities which have the character of being genocide. 'I've expressed that and obviously it's not reached all those individuals, but that's my feeling.' The Scottish Government has also been criticised for – while not funding directly the manufacturing of munitions – providing money for apprenticeships at firms which build weapons. But the First Minister said the Government's commercial arm Scottish Enterprise has the 'strictest assessments imaginable about the purpose and the use of public expenditure in companies who may be related to defence industries'. Pushed on providing money for staff who could potentially build munitions, the First Minister added: 'We're trying to enable companies to diversify their activities, that's the purpose. 'That's why the due diligence checks are applied and they are applied unreservedly.' Throughout the show, groups of attendees stood up, holding signs which spelled the word 'genocide', and heckled the First Minister. As the event continued, the interruptions became more forceful, before two groups stood at the same time, angrily shouting at the First Minister and chanting slogans such as 'call it genocide'. Members of his security team stood in front of the stage, stopping protesters from approaching the First Minister, before three uniformed police officers arrived at the venue to usher the protesters out. I still remember the bus ride to my first Edinburgh Festival show as a teenager, with my late mother – not knowing it would spark a lifelong love of culture. As the Festival season starts, I want every community in Scotland to have that same access to a booming cultural scene. — John Swinney (@JohnSwinney) August 2, 2025 During the tense exchange, which lasted several minutes, a number of the crowd – who were not protesting – appeared to be in tears. A final disruption came from one woman in the crowd, who asked the First Minister why he had not responded to her letter about heavy metal band Disturbed playing at the Hydro in Glasgow. The band's lead singer David Draiman has been criticised after being pictured signing an Israeli bomb. The woman asked the First Minister why he did not speak out on Disturbed playing at the city's biggest venue, when he said it would be inappropriate for Irish band Kneecap to play the TRNSMT festival after comments members of the band had made about Tory MPs. The First Minister said his comments on Kneecap had come due to questions from the media and he 'didn't particularly' want to speak about the band earlier this year, adding that he did not want to choose what art people do and do not consume. The woman became increasingly angry with the First Minister's response and was eventually dragged from the venue by a police officer, whom she branded a 'thug'.
