Spider-mania shows no sign of slowing as Glasgow is caught in a web of superhero excitement
Filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has drawn thousands of excited children and intrigued residents keen to see the dramatic action scenes unfold on their doorstep.
Since filming kicked off on July 31, onlookers have been delighted by spectacular car chases, explosions and daring feats performed by Spider-Man's stunt double.
Youngsters decked out in Spidey costumes were among the crowds gathered as crews filmed an armoured vehicle racing through the streets with the action hero on top.
The blockbuster is the latest Hollywood film to have shot scenes in Glasgow in recent years, with the city also showing up in Indiana Jones, The Flash and Batman.
In the last year alone, Top Gun star Glen Powell has also shot two major movies in Glasgow: JJ Abrams' Ghostwriter and a remake of The Running Man.
Over the past week familiar streets were left unrecognisable thanks to the arrival of American police and military vehicles, along with high-tech equipment.
Fans were even treated to a glimpse of Tom Holland on Sunday when the actor shot an action sequence in costume before chatting to a large crowd.
The upcoming Spider-Man film will be Marvel's fourth movie following the story of Peter Parker, and the Spider-Mania that has gripped the centre of Glasgow is set to spread further afield, as Marvel bosses have announced extra filming dates at new locations.
Shooting will be extended by 11 days and will move towards the eastern part of the city centre until August 26.
