Spider-Man takes over Glasgow as filming for new movie Brand New Day 'kicks off after last-minute location change'
Tom Holland and Zendaya will be returning to screen for their fourth Spider-Man movie, titled Brand New Day, which is slated for release in July 2026.
And production is reportedly set to get underway in Scotland on August 1, with photographs showing the streets of Glasgow being transformed into New York City.
US flags have been erected on the sides of buildings while bright yellow taxis have been parked up in the city as the Hollywood production gets well underway.
According to The Sun, producers planned to film in Liverpool but changed location following the devastating parade crash in the city on May 26, which left 109 people injured.
Paul Doyle, 53, appeared in court earlier this month charged with seven offences including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
In light of the crash, producers reportedly made the decision to relocate filming to Glasgow to be respectful to those affected by the incident.
'There were discussions about whether it was appropriate to stage big stunts, including car chases and explosions, in light of the awful incident,' a source told the publication.
'Filming is due to start in the coming days in Scotland so fans should keep their eyes peeled for webs on street corners.'
A number of major roads will be closed in Glasgow over the coming days as production takes over the city, according to the Herald.
Tom, 29, and Zendaya, 28, have already touched down in Scotland after shooting scenes for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey in the country earlier this month.
Daily Mail has contacted Tom and Zendaya's representatives and Disney+ for comment.
Tom first appeared as Spider-Man in the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War and made his solo debut in the 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, alongside Zendaya - who portrays his love interest MJ.
He has appeared in another two Spider-Man movies - 2019's Far From Home and 2021's No Way Home - as well as other Marvel spin-offs.
Leading stars Tom and Zendaya (pictured in 2021) also fostered a real-life love story on the set of the Marvel movie as they began dating after starring as on-screen partners
No Way Home finished on a dramatic cliffhanger which saw the entire world forget who Peter Parker is after his identity as Spider-Man was made public in the previous film, causing him endless issues.
Fans have been eagerly waiting to see whether Peter will be able to pick things up again with MJ after she devastatingly forgot who he was altogether following Doctor Strange's spell.
Leading stars Tom and Zendaya fostered a real-life romance on the set of Spider-Man as they began dating after starring as on-screen lovers.
They got engaged in December of last year, but will not be tying the knot any time soon due to their busy filming schedules, according to Law Roach.
Zendaya's trusted stylist told E! News of the nuptials: 'The process hasn't even started yet [...].' Zendaya is working on so many movies.
'She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.'
As well as co-starring in Brand New Day, the in-demand couple will also appear in Christopher Nolan 's big-screen adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey next year.
Zendaya is also shooting Denis Villeneuve's fantasy flick Dune: Part Three, Kristoffer Borgli's romantic dramedy The Drama, DreamWorks animated movie Shrek 5, and the third season of HBO Max's drama Euphoria.
Zendaya has also signed on to produce and star as singer Ronnie Spector in Barry Jenkins' biopic Be My Baby, which is based on her 2022 memoir.

Oasis fans at Wembley gig where man died question alcohol use and security
Oasis fans who witnessed a fatal fall at Wembley stadium during a reunion concert on Saturday have questioned the security setup and the amount of alcohol being consumed in the stands. The Metropolitan police said a man in his 40s died after suffering injuries consistent with a fall at the end of the band's performance at about 10.19pm on Saturday night. On Monday, the Met announced that the Health and Safety Executive, the body which investigates accidents, had been informed. Witnesses who were 10 ft (3 metres) from where the man landed said he fell from the upper tier of Wembley's block 511, on to the aisle between block 211 and block 210. Emma, 40, from Liverpool, said the man landed next to a row behind her and her partner, Mike, only five seats away. 'I've been feeling awful ever since – I can't stop thinking about him,' she said. 'It happened directly behind our right shoulders. If he had fallen where someone was sitting, it would have killed both people.' Within seconds of the fall, several staff began trying to perform CPR on the man. Mike said: 'It's quite traumatic, seeing people just doing CPR on someone frantically. I haven't been able to focus on anything else.' Both Emma and Mike, who declined to give their full names, urged Wembley to review safety and alcohol sales at the stadium. Emma said: 'So much beer was being thrown throughout the whole concert. I was surprised they allowed people to bring drinks into the stands. It made the floor really slippy.' She added: 'They should put the security guard at the bottom of all the aisles too, and permanently station them there to stop people falling off.' Mike, who works in health and safety, said: 'Beer was coming from everywhere. I got hit by an empty cup right on the side of the head. If it had been full it would really have hurt. We started getting beer on us from the moment Oasis came on stage.' John, 52, a delivery driver from Oxford who also declined to give his full name, saw many fans leaning over the balcony from block 511. He said: 'There were loads of people who just kept going down to the front and leaning right over. One guy was stopped but after that no security came down. The security was so lax. There's a rail and a small guard but it did make me think someone could quite easily get knocked off there.' John added: 'It seemed unsafe. If they'd have actually posted a security guard at the bottom of those steps, where people were continually going, it would prevented the fall.' He was also surprised by the level of drinking at the gig. 'The amount of alcohol that was sold on the night was quite shocking. I constantly saw people with cardboard cup holders full of pints,' John said. Last week the Times revealed that Oasis fans were consuming an average of 250,000 pints a night during the Wembley gigs. Wembley Stadium has been approached for comment. In a statement on Sunday it said: 'The police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.' Saturday's concert was the fourth of seven sold-out reunion gigs at Wembley Stadium. Despite the tragedy on Saturday, the fifth gig on Sunday went ahead as planned. The sixth and seventh gigs will be in September.
