Grim pictures reveal vile drugs den just yards away from Spider-Man Glasgow film set
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOLLYWOOD crews are filming the new Spider-Man movie just yards from a vile drugs den. Shocking pictures show addicts' needles and paraphernalia piled in an alley near where superhero fans have gathered to watch thrilling action scenes being shot. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The alley is littered with drugs, needles and booze bottles Credit: Les Gallagher 5 The drug den has been dubbed a 'disgrace' and a 'national embarrassment' Credit: Les Gallagher 5 Filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day kicked off in Glasgow at the beginning of the month Credit: PA Intoxicated yobs are said to have been seen shooting up in a filthy stairwell then stumbling to the set in St Vincent Street, Glasgow. It doubles as New York in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland, 29. Scores of young film buffs were seen nearby taking pictures and craning for views of a stuntman dressed as the Marvel webslinger. And it is understood they have been warned to keep their distance from the drugs hellhole. One movie insider said: 'A bunch of lowlifes were smoking a glass bong right next to kids who turned up to catch a glimpse of their superhero. 'We had to chase one of them away the other day - it's not what you expect in the shadows of a massive blockbuster movie.' Crews were said to be reluctant to move on the wasted yobs as they feared attacks. Tory MSP Annie Wells hit out: 'This is the grim reality – drug addiction left to spiral out of control and our largest city tangled in a web of drug dens. 'Having one just metres away from a Hollywood film set is a national embarrassment. 'It'll take more than a superhero to clean up the streets of Glasgow.' Watch spectacular moment Spider-Man swings through air as daring stunt filmed on Glasgow street City hall chiefs have referred the scene to social workers. A Glasgow City Council spokesman said: 'This is not an issue we have ever heard of around filming. 'Productions have occasionally had to clean areas before they use them as a location. 'But this issue has never been mentioned at all as a deterrent to future filming.' We told how city-goers have been treated to dramatic chase scenes and explosions. Production has now switched to Hutcheson Street in nearby Merchant City. A suited-up stuntman was seen dodging flames billowing around a tank. Residents have previously moaned about drug hellholes close to shops and flats. And neighbours of the controversial Thistle fix room in the city's Calton have moaned about having to dodge discarded needles. 5 A movie insider said they saw 'lowlifes' smoking a bong next to kids who came to watch the filming Credit: Les Gallagher

Seven times Glasgow stood in as setting for Hollywood blockbusters
Glasgow has become a popular filming location for major Hollywood productions. Glasgow has once again taken centre stage in a major Hollywood production, with filming for Spider-Man 4: Brand New Day currently under way in the city. Crowds have gathered to watch Hollywood superstar Tom Holland perform impressive stunts as Marvel's web-slinging hero, with parts of the city centre transformed into bustling New York streets. In recent years, Scotland's largest city has become a favourite among film-makers, with its mix of grand architecture and adaptable streets providing the perfect backdrop for a range of productions. From gritty urban dramas to high-octane blockbusters, Glasgow has played host to an impressive line-up of films. The Batman (2022) DC's dark, atmospheric blockbuster made use of the gothic surroundings of Glasgow Necropolis, the Victorian cemetery that became a key setting thanks to its striking architecture. Starring Robert Pattinson in the title role, the film's moody visuals were a natural fit for the city's historic landmarks. Pattinson is set to return for a sequel in 2027, though it is not yet confirmed whether Glasgow will feature again. Tetris (2023) The story of Henk Rogers and his fight to secure the rights to the iconic video game brought a very different aesthetic to Glasgow. Set in the 1980s, the film saw parts of the city convincingly transformed into Soviet-era Moscow, with its architecture standing in for the Soviet Union. Welsh actor Taron Egerton played Rogers and, despite his moustache disguise, was quickly spotted by fans during filming. Churchill (2017) This historical drama saw Scottish actor Brian Cox portray Winston Churchill in the tense days leading up to the D-Day landings. Several scenes were shot around Scotland, including Glasgow's George Street, which doubled for wartime settings. 1917 (2019) Sam Mendes's award-winning First World War epic featured Glasgow's Govan Graving Docks, transformed through CGI into a canal. Inspired by the experiences of real-life soldiers, the film starred George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman and was acclaimed for its immersive cinematography and striking set design. World War Z (2013) Brad Pitt led the cast of this zombie blockbuster, which turned George Square into the streets of Philadelphia during an undead outbreak. At the time, it was one of the largest productions ever to film in the city and went on to become the highest-grossing zombie film of all time. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Fast and Furious 6 (2013) High-speed stunts and roaring engines took over Cadogan Street and Broomielaw as part of the street-racing franchise. Although none of the main stars appeared on location, the production returned in 2019 to film scenes for Fast and Furious 9. Trainspotting (1996) Although set in Edinburgh, this cult classic was filmed largely in Glasgow. Interiors were shot in an old cigarette factory on Alexandra Parade, while exterior locations included Maryhill Road, Kelvin Hall and Rouken Glen Park. Its modest budget was a far cry from the scale of modern superhero productions.
