Every movie & show to be released after filming in Scotland
Over the last year or so, Scotland has become a hotbed of Hollywood activity – with huge films such as Frankenstein all expected out over the next year or so.
In June, J.J. Abrams is shooting his secretive blockbuster under the name Ghostwriter in both Edinburgh and Glasgow, while crews spotted around Moray are said to be setting up for production of Christopher Nolan's 2026 movie The Odyssey.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Marvel will once again return to Scotland in August to film the fourth instalment of Tom Holland's Spider-Man film, with further productions expected around the country including Henry Cavill's Highlander reboot.
That's without mentioning the slew of TV shows which have been filmed in Scotland recently. Season two of Apple TV+'s The Buccaneers returned to Scotland once again to shoot throughout the country, while Netflix's Edinburgh-set Dept. Q shot on location around the capital.
Here are all of the movies and TV shows filmed in Scotland during 2024 and 2025, which are still to be released (and some to be shot).

Jake Paul taking Amanda Serrano from underpaid legend to highest female fighter sparked his passion for women's boxing
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAKE PAUL says his passion for promoting women's boxing stemmed from Amanda Serrano's remarkable rise to riches. Paul and his Most Valuable Promotions stable have become the premier platform for female fighters with a string of high-profile signings.

But it all started with Serrano in 2021, who came on board as Puerto Rico's legendary seven-weight world champion. At the time, Serrano was only earning £3,000 for her world title fights - now she is the highest-paid female boxer of all time. Paul, with his promotional hat on, said: "It just came from the organic relationship that was formed with Amanda Serrano. READ MORE IN boxing WHISKEY BUSINESS Jake Paul admits proposing was harder than any fight and he needed whiskey "Seeing how entertaining of a fighter she was and how talented - one of the best boxers of all time period male or female - and how underpaid she was and underserved and wasn't getting the shine that she deserved." Serrano, 38, has had two bouts with Irish icon Katie Taylor, 36, losing both thrillers via razor-tight decisions. And for her rematch - after making over £1million in the original - the New Yorker is believed to have banked over £5m. The boxing pioneers now collide for a trilogy on July 11 back at New York's Madison Square Garden as part of a historic all-women's card on Netflix. 5 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Paul's new top talent - including Brit trio Marshall, Cameron and Scotney - all fight in a showcase of MVP's commitment to women's boxing He said: "I think It turned into this bigger movement and now you just see that all across sports, women shining the Caitlin Clarks, etc. Jake Paul ranks cruiserweight world champions and reveals he is in talks with two for shock title fight "And now it's happening in boxing and women are getting their equal and fair shot and MVP proved that we can make mega fights happen with women. "And, they're arguably more entertaining than a lot of the recent men's fights that we've seen." Serrano lost her rematch to Taylor on Paul's undercard in November - when he beat 58-year-old Mike Tyson in their controversial Netflix clash. Now Paul, 28, returns against ex-middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, on June 28 live on DAZN PPV. He said: "Chavez and I have been going back and forth for a long time and he's always been a great opponent on the list of someone that I wanted to fight. "And now it made perfect sense to go up against him as a former world champion and just continuing to further my resume and get more time under the lights."

Ever since Daniel Craig left the famous franchise the rumour mill has been whirring as to who will take on the iconic 007 gig - but now fans want to know who will play the next Bond baddie. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Fans are keen to know who will be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig quit - but who will play his nemesis? Credit: Alamy 5 Irish star Cillian Murphey is being tipped to bag the iconic Bond villain role in the next movie Credit: Getty 5 The actor is best known for playing Thomas Shelby in Peaky Blinders Credit: BBC Now, an actor who was previously in the running to play James Bond, is being tipped to now play the iconic villain role. According to the bookies Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy is the current favourite to be named as the next 007 baddie. He is leading the pack with odds of 9/2. The Irish actor - best known for playing Thomas Shelby - previously said he was "too old" to play the famous spy. But thanks to being at the peak of his career, the Oppenheimer star could be the next Bond villian. Bookmaker expert Jake Ashton said: 'The villain role in Bond movies is just as iconic as Bond himself. "With Cillian Murphy at the height of his powers and trusted by major directors, he's a natural favourite.' RACE FOR BOND Meanwhile, the race for James Bond is heating up. Stars including Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Theo James, Henry Cavill, and Tom Hardy, have all been strongly tipped to replace Daniel Craig as the Secret Service agent. The Sun exclusively told how Aaron had been formally offered the role of the Brit spy last year. Brit acting legend admits he wants to play James Bond saying 'the world's gone crazy' if Amazon casts a US star for 007 This came after we first reported the Marvel movie star had emerged as a surprise frontrunner three years ago. The Sun previously revealed the handsome actor was in the running for the job after secretly screen testing for Bond movie supremo Barbara Broccoli at Pinewood Studios. A source previously told us: 'Bond is Aaron's job, should he wish to accept it. "The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back." When asked previously whether he would step into Bond's shoes, Aaron said: 'I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. "I take it as a great compliment.' 5 Marvel actor Aaron Taylor Johnson has long been a frontrunner for the prestigious film role Credit: Getty 5 Daniel played MI6's most famous spy for 15 years Credit: Alamy BRIT BOND It's also been confirmed that Bond will still be a British man despite being sold to 'woke' Hollywood streaming site Amazon. Before giving up ownership of the popular film franchise, 007's stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson insisted the spy would retain his nationality and gender. Barbara, who took over the Bond brand from company Eon Productions alongside Mr Wilson in 1995, made the arrangement before she agreed to sell the rights to Amazon in a £770million deal. Insiders have hit back at fears the streaming giant - owned by Jeff Bezos - will turn Bond 'woke'. An insider told the Mail on Sunday: 'Amazon is committed to keeping the spirit of Bond alive and that means he has to be British or from the Commonwealth - and he has to be male.' Half-siblings Barbara and Michael took over the Bond franchise from their father and stepfather Albert "Cubby" Broccoli - who bought the film rights from Bond creator Ian Fleming in 1961. Since then there have been 25 movies - where Bond defeats villains bent on destruction, all while drinking martinis and seducing women.

Little-known Netflix horror is 'certified fresh' with 5-star rating
Under The Shadow is a completely original take on horror and is a must-watch for all fans of the genre, with the Persian language film being described as a 'future horror classic' For those who enjoy a good scare, Netflix has a hidden gem that's been described as a future horror movie classic. Under The Shadow, with its rave reviews, is definitely worth your time. This unique horror film is set in 1980s post-revolutionary Tehran during the war. It follows the story of medical student Shideh, barred from continuing her studies, and her daughter Dorsa, left alone after her husband is drafted into military service. Most of the film unfolds within their apartment, amidst falling missiles. A superstitious neighbour suggests that the bombs carry cursed spirits. Soon, Shideh becomes convinced that a supernatural entity is possessing her daughter, leading to a struggle against both natural and supernatural forces. Despite its unique premise, the film still delivers classic horror thrills - sudden window breaks or even a popping toaster are enough to make you jump and keep you on edge for a nerve-wracking hour and a half, reports the Mirror US. The film's cinematography, released in 2016, sets it apart, leaving viewers thoroughly unnerved and questioning which horrors are real and which are imagined. Under The Shadow marks the directorial debut of British-Iranian filmmaker Babak Anvari, paving the way for his subsequent releases - Wounds, starring Armie Hammer and Dakota Johnson, and I Came By, featuring George MacKay and Hugh Bonneville. The film Under the Shadow garnered widespread acclaim, boasting an impressive 99% 'certified fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Observer film critic Mark Kermode showered it with praise, awarding it five stars and writing: "With this terrific feature debut, Anvari lifts the veil on his heroines' hidden lives and leaves us all dreaming with our eyes wide open." Selected as the British entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars, the Persian language film received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics. However, some audience members were more divided. One viewer gave the film three stars on Google Reviews, stating: "Under the Shadow is a unique blend of horror and historical context. While it had its moments of brilliance, I can't help but feel that it didn't fully live up to its potential." In contrast, another reviewer awarded it five stars, writing: "Wow. just amazing. A perfect example of a well-written, directed movie. The acting, VFX, sound design and production design etc are worth mentioning. Watch it on a cold dark night, when you are alone, this gave me a real chill. ""The brilliance is that, for a normal audience, it's a scary, horror movie, but, for those who search beyond, there are metaphors and beyond just a horror movie. ".
