The unknown flick, directed by JJ Abrams, is set to star Top Gun: Maverick actor Glen Powell and Wednesday lead Jenna Ortega.
It's also understood that acting legend Samuel L. Jackson is tipped for a key part in the movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Filming for the flick is expected to start over the weekend and will run into next week.
However, it means that a number of roads will be closed throughout the city for days as a result.
Some closures will kick in as early as tomorrow to stop vehicles from waiting, loading, and unloading in certain streets in preparation for the filming.

Top filming location
BACK in November, Glasgow was transformed into a dystopian New York as filming got underway for The Running Man, a reboot of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film.
Glen Powell was spotted filming in and around the city, and he even popped into The Locale in Charing Cross for a wrap party.
Rumours are swirling that director Abrams' new film is an 80s throwback loosely inspired by The Last Starfighter, but the title remains unknown.
And more filming crews are set to swarm the city for Spider-Man 4.
Some scenes being shot will reportedly 'involve vehicles on the road', with crews anticipating that Bothwell Street will be the focal point.
It is understood that the Glasgow-based shoot for the upcoming Marvel blockbuster will commence in mid-August.
Other films that have been shot in the city over recent years include World War Z, which used George Square to represent Philadelphia, and was also transformed into Gotham City for Batgirl and The Batman.
Other notable films shot in Glasgow include Skyfall, Avengers: Infinity War, Fast & Furious 6, Trainspotting, and Perfect Sense.
