Fans lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the action as tanks and cars sped through the streets.
However, excitement reached new levels when Tom Holland, who plays the web-slinging hero, made an appearance and stopped to interact with fans.
The 28-year-old has played the character in multiple projects across Marvel's Cinematic Universe, including Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
In the most recent movie, released in 2021, Holland and his fellow alternate Spider-Men, played by Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire in other movies, came into contact due to a multiverse event.
The movie smashed box-office records in its opening weekend and nearly surpassed Marvel's Avengers movies.

Filming has seen a tank roaring through the city centre while a fleet of NYPD cars speed after it with their red and blue lights flashing. And film-lovers managed to get a behind the scenes glimpse of how the MCU's sensational action scenes are made. Movie crews have been setting off explosions as part of the tremendous pursuit. This morning, hundreds of onlookers gathered at barriers on the edge of the film set. The tank began speeding down Bothwell Street and drove past a raised crane arm with the explosives attached to it. As the armoured vehicle roared past, the blast erupted in the air above the street, sending a huge fireball erupting in the air. Police cars were skidding and screeching along the street as part of the jaw-dropping stunt. Windows in nearby office buildings were shaken by the blast. One worker said: "So many people are here today to see it. It's been busy for the past week with people coming to watch them filming.

Another explosion was filmed over the weekend with a fireball erupting on the road in front of the three police cars being used in the chase. Part of today's movie action has seen another cop car raised onto its side. 7 Spider-Man swings through the skies of Glasgow Credit: Tom Farmer 7 The masked web-slinger made an appearance Credit: Tom Farmer 7 NYPD cars have been speeding through the streets Credit: Tom Farmer Earlier this week, movie star Holland, 29, was spotted on set filming scenes for his fourth instalment as the red-and-blue wall crawling hero.

Oasis fan says she slipped in beer yards away from where man fell to his death
An Oasis concertgoer has claimed she slipped on beer and fell into the row in front of her just yards away from when Lee Claydon tragically plunged to his death at Wembley Stadium An Oasis fan claimed she slipped on alcohol just yards away from where a man tragically plunged to his death at the band's concert at Wembley Stadium. Lee Claydon, 45, is believed to have fallen from the venue's upper tier just as the sell-out gig was coming to an end on Saturday night. The dad, from Bournemouth, had gone to the long-awaited show with his brother Aaron, and his niece and nephew but the fan's dad claimed he slipped on spilled beer. Another Oasis concertgoer has since claimed she also slipped on alcohol and said she saw another man, a few rows up from her, fall on her. It comes after a mum was left 'traumatised' after a dog walker pushes her in canal as she cycles to work. Dad's tragic three-word post hours before plunging to his death at Oasis gig Jade, 31, from Essex, claimed she saw other fans suffer from minor injuries after falling in the upper tier of the 90,000 capacity stadium, according to The Sun. The highest stands in the world famous venue can be around 170ft above ground level. Oasis fan Jade claimed as man a few rows above her fell and tumbled into her, causing her to also fall onto the row in front of her, as she complained about alcohol and drunk concertgoers. She said: "The floor was slippery from loads of spilled drinks. My bag got soaked. Everyone in the seated section was jumping and dancing and way drunker than other concerts." She added: "I just got up and carried on. But today I have a dodgy ankle, a few bruises and hurt knees." Other people at the Wembley gig took to social media to complain about the stadium's upper tier. One person, on Facebook, wrote: "The top tier is bloody steep. It's dreadful the barrier is so low." But another fan said: "18 years worth of events, most with 90,000 people attending, and never an incident like it. It's a tragic accident, and blaming it on the venue or security is ridiculous." Medics rushed to Lee and desperately tried to save his life but he tragically died at the scene. His devastated father Clive Claydon, 75, claims his son plunged to his death after slipping on beer, according to The Sun. Clive said: "There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery, and Lee just slipped and fell. I've been told that it was an accident waiting to happen. It was a horrible, horrible accident. All I really know is there was beer everywhere, he slipped, and we don't know the rest of it. "I wasn't there so I don't know what happened, but it will all come out. I am so devastated. I can't understand how it happened, I've never been to Wembley, but you would expect the health and safety to be good. He has never taken drugs in his life and he may have had a beer, who doesn't at a concert, but he certainly was not drunk." After the news emerged, Oasis said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear of the death during their sell-out Wembley show this weekend. A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: "Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard. We are regularly inspected by certifying authorities both on an event day and throughout the year, and we regularly review and test our plans to ensure adherence to the conditions set within the stadium's general safety certificate. "We work very closely and collaboratively with all relevant event delivery stakeholders - including event owners, local authorities, the Sports Ground Safety Authority and the police - to deliver events to high standards of safety, security and service for everyone attending or working in the venue."
