Spider-Man film crews cover up movie shoot in Glasgow ‘to prevent spoilers'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SPIDER-MAN film crews have put up screens around their new Glasgow film shoot in a bid to prevent spoilers. The city has been transformed into New York as crews shoot scenes for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 9 The screens haven't stopped nosy movie fans from trying to see what is going on Credit: Mark Ferguson 9 Screens have been set up around the new set on St Vincent Street Credit: Mark Ferguson 9 Spider-Man's stunt double on top of the tank Credit: Mark Ferguson 9 Scores of movie fans have come out to get a look at filming in the new location Credit: Mark Ferguson 9 The new scene involves a tank and a tour bus Credit: Mark Ferguson 9 Onlookers have been climbing on walls and buildings to get a look over the fences Credit: Mark Ferguson An explosive tank chase scene has already been filmed on Bothwell Street, which attracted hundreds of onlookers who gathered to get a glimpse of the action. Filming has now moved to the busy St Vincent Street for another scene involving the armoured vehicle. But a shroud of secrecy is over the new film set after fences with white fire-proof screens were set up around the set. It is understood this could be to prevent some spoilers from getting out compared to the lack of measures to prevent people from seeing the previous action scenes. They could also be measures to protect any onlookers from explosive stunts involving fire. But the mystery has only created a web of intrigue and didn't deter nosy movie fans from trying to get a glimpse. Many have been climbing onto walls and fences and walking further up the hill on St Vincent Street to get a view into the set. Some even wandered up to the barriers and got on their tip-toes to reach up with their phones to get a picture. They appear to be filming another scene involving the tank and a double-decker open top tourist bus. Spider-Man star Tom Holland's stunt double was back on set today and was pictured standing on top of the villain vehicle for the scene. Watch spectacular moment Spider-Man swings through air as daring stunt filmed on Glasgow street Brand New Day will be Holland's fourth time as the red-and-blue wall climbing superhero. His real-life girlfriend Zendaya will also star in the Marvel flick while Jon Bernthal will star as The Punisher. Glasgow fans have already been treated to some epic action from the film. The Bothwell Street tank chase has seen huge explosions erupt in front of speeding vehicles, fireballs blasting in the air and even the Spidey stunt double soaring through the skies Two NYPD police cars were also totalled as part of the sensational stunts. 9 An explosive police chase was filmed on Bothwell Street Credit: Mark Gibson 9 Spider-Man was also seen swinging through the air Credit: Tom Farmer 9 NYPD cars were speeding along Bothwell Street as part of the chase Credit: Tom Farmer One was rammed into by the tank while another was sent tumbling down the street while rolling on its roof. Some lucky fans also got to meet Tom Holland while he was in the city while he took a break from filming. Filming in Glasgow has also been extended until the end of the month. The movie will be released in cinemas on July 31 2026. Glasgow on the big screen Spider-Man 4 is the latest flick to be filmed in Glasgow, and Bothwell Street is a popular choice. Hollywood hunk Glen Powell has filmed TWO recent movies in the city. The Twisters star filmed sci-fi flick Ghost Writer and the remake of 80's blockbuster Running Man on the street. World War Z, which starred Brad Pitt, 61, previously used George Square to represent Philadelphia, while the city was also transformed into Gotham City for Batgirl and The Batman. And the Merchant City got turned into 1960's New York for a parade chase scene in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

In addition to its popular menu of Bombay comfort food, chefs at the venue revealed that they will also serve a Haggis Pau. It is made of specially-spiced Dishoom pork haggis on top of hot, buttered buns, served with fried eggs, crisp bacon rashers, honeyed chilli chutney, cream cheese, and fresh coriander leaves. A further addition to the Glasgow menu includes a Lamb Chettinad, a rich, slow-cooked Tamil Nadu curry with coconut, black pepper, curry leaves, and red chillies, served with flaky Malabar Paratha. Not only that, but the venue will also serve an exclusive cocktail in the bar.

Moment tank speeds toward bus on Glasgow Spider-Man film set
The new film, starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker, has generated a serious buzz in the city since filming took over at the start of the month. Having spent the past week dazzling fans on Bothwell Street, the web-slinging hero has now been spotted on St Vincent Street. Hundreds of fans gathered all around the busy street, with crowds forming on Buchanan Street and at every vantage point to catch a glimpse of Spidey.

The 'tank', which has been heavily featured so far during filming, has been shifted over to the new set, and onlookers gasped as it sped up St Vincent Street with a cloud of reek behind it. From other viewpoints, you can see that it is travelling towards a double-decker sightseeing bus at full revs. The actors on top of the bus could be heard screaming as damaged cars lay strewn across the street, and other motorists sped to get out of the way. READ MORE: Nearly half of staff in team part of huge city centre business 'made redundant' Spider-Man appears to be on the case, though, as once again the masked hero was seen on top of the tank, where he'll hopefully triumph over whatever evil he is facing. We reported that stunts were filmed on Bothwell Street earlier this week, including a high-speed car chase featuring a tank, a car being flipped over, and some huge explosions that rocked Bothwell Street. One onlooker said that they could "feel the heat" from the explosion and "got a fright" when the flames flew into the air. We also revealed that a restaurant featured in some of the new Spider-Man scenes has been brought to the market. The former Wolf Italian Street Food unit on Bothwell Street is being put on the market, having been featured in filming both outside and inside the premises. Filming is expected to remain on St Vincent Street for the next four days, fans can try and catch Spidey from the top or bottom of the street for the best vantage points.
