Everything we know as Spider-Man 4 filming set to takeover Glasgow city centre
The city centre has been given a Stateside makeover, with iconic streets now resembling downtown Manhattan.
It is all in preparation for filming on the hotly anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth movie in the reboot of the franchise starring Tom Holland as the friendly neighbourhood hero.
The film will pick-up from No Way Home, which saw Peter Parker sacrifice his identity to save his loved ones. The film was a huge hit with fans and featured previous famous stars to wear the red and blue suit, with Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire returning to play their roles.
This time round Tom Holland is set to return alongside his girlfriend Zendaya who plays on-screen love-interest, MJ. It It is believed that Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink will also star in the film.
It is not yet known what cast members will be in town as filming kicks off tomorrow (Friday, August 1).

Production crews have been transforming the city centre into a Hollywood set. American flags have been hung up on Bothwell Street. Some temporary street signs have been placed around the area whilst a fake New York Chinese takeaway truck was also spotted.
Crew members were captured hard at work as they erected elements onto the set including high rise equipment that will be used to film scenes.
Meanwhile NYPD cars were spotted parked elsewhere in the city ready to be brought into action. And an New York City open top tour bus was also spotted.
However disruption is expected throughout the duration of filming with road closures set to be in place.
Council Chiefs are said delays and congestion are expected, particularly around key commuter routes.
For the safety of pedestrians, a prohibition of pedestrian movements will also be enforced during periods of filming action. Pedestrians are advised to follow all on-site signage and instructions from stewards or film crew personnel.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to be released on July, 31 2026.

Tom Holland divides fans after unveiling updated Spider-Man costume for Brand New Day sequel with Zendaya
has left fans divided after he unveiled a first glimpse of his updated costume for the upcoming sequel Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The 29-year-old actor - who officially kicked off filming for the new MCU project in Glasgow this week - appeared in a short clip uploaded to the movie's Instagram and X accounts on Saturday. The star was seen standing front of a large doorway that began to open up with his back initially towards the camera. Tom then turned around and as the room became brighter, fans were able to see his new Spider-Man suit. As instrumental music played in the background, he paused and questioned, 'We ready?' before bringing his gaze back to directly look at the camera. The reel concluded as he ran off, with the movie's title appearing on the screen. Not long after the video was shared, social media users flocked over to Reddit to share their thoughts on the latest costume. The suit contained colors of both red and blue, while a black spider emblem was embroidered on his chest. Tom's suit has altered over the course of the three previous films he has starred in for the franchise including Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). Before the actor took on the role of the iconic superhero, others have also portrayed the character in the past such as Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. 'FINALLY This suit is what it should have been all along,' one penned, and another typed, 'looks good i just feel the spider is a little low on the chest.' A Reddit user also shared, 'Just don't CGI over it now, or if you have to do it minimally. It looks great, the little wrinkles and bunching make it feel so much better.' 'It's genuinely perfect,' a fan wrote, and one commented, 'looks like he took inspiration from the other spidermen.' Another said, 'So the logo is a nod to Garfield's suit logo and the raised webbing a nod to Maguire's? Cute. Wonder what they'll do with the eyes.' 'Really looks like they took the best elements of past spidey suits. Very nice,' one added, while another voiced concern that the new glimpse of the costume could have possibly involved the use of AI. 'FINALLY This suit is what it should have been all along,' one penned, and another typed, 'looks good i just feel the spider is a little low on the chest' 'THIS IS REAL?!? Feels so AI for some reason, probably Toms NPC movement. Edit: still feels AI after 10th watch,' they wrote, and one replied, 'The fact that we can't tell scares me. I agree with you on it feeling ai but I don't think it is.' Over on X, more fans offered differing opinions on Tom's latest Spider-Man suit as one penned, 'THIS LOOKS PEAKK.' 'Perfect homage to Andrew and Tobey,' another wrote, and an X user added, 'I feel like I'm going to be disappointed.' Another typed, 'This suit is the best of all of the suits we have seen so far!' and a fan shared, 'Liked the old suit better But cannot wait for this movie.' 'The suit from the ending of no way home looked so much better,' one commented, while a social media user also expressed, 'love the detailing but something is a little off.' Another also penned, 'This gives me HOPE,' while one observed, 'looks so much like Garfield's suit.' Tom first portrayed Spider-Man in the 2016 movie Captain America: Civil War and went on to play the leading role for three films beginning in 2017. Late year in October, the actor confirmed that a fourth installment in the franchise was in the works during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. That same month, he also briefly discussed the project on an episode of the Rich Roll podcast and shared that he had already read the script. 'One of the things is that, with Marvel, your film is a small cog in a large machine,' Tom explained. 'That machine has got to keep running. You have to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture. 'That's one of the challenges we're facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the people we have working on it now.' He further stated, 'We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent. It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me. 'Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans' respect.' And production for the movie officially began this week on August 1 in Glasgow, Scotland - with the streets being transformed into NYC. Along with Tom, other cast members for Brand New Day include Zendaya, Mark Ruffalo, Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal. The project is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton with a script penned by both Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Zendaya has portrayed the character of MJ since 2017 and has also been in a relationship with Tom since 2021. The couple confirmed their engagement in January of this year, but due to their busy schedules, wedding planning has been put on hold. Her stylist Law Roach told E! News last month in July, '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.'

Tom Holland's stunt double is strapped to moving car in daring scenes as filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day kicks off in Glasgow
Tom Holland's stunt double was seen hard at work on Saturday as Glasgow was transformed into New York City to film the upcoming Spider-Man movie. 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. Fans have already been waiting four years to the follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home, and as filming finally kicked off, some very dramatic scenes were seen being filmed. A stunt double for leading actor Tom, 29 - who plays Peter Parker - was strapped to the roof of a moving vehicle, with excitement gearing up for the superhero venture. The nail-biting stunts were performed on top of a tank, with rehearsals taking place ahead of the scenes being filmed. The cast and crew were hard at work as they seemed to be planning some daredevil manoeuvres for the action film. A blacked-out Mercedes 4x4 AMG was seen guarding the area as they drove through the Scottish city. US flags have been erected on the sides of buildings while bright yellow taxis have been parked up in the city as Glasgow has been turned into New York City for filming. 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. Leading stars Tom and Zendaya, 28, were already in Scotland ahead of filming after shooting for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey in the country earlier this month. Daily Mail contacted Tom and Zendaya's representatives and Disney+ for comment at the time. 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. 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. 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 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.

I have to warn you after watching 'heart-stabbing' Netflix film My Oxford Year
Netflix has just released a new film that has fan up in arms about its ending, questioning its classification as a rom-com – and I'm afraid to say, is also just a bit crap. Fans have swarmed social media to reveal they are 'speechless', 'devastated' and generally crying their eyes out over the movie, while others have taken it to task for being 'so boring' and leaving them 'feeling nothing' for any other characters. And I wholeheartedly agree. Not only does My Oxford Year take a very long time to introduce any stakes, but before we get there it's a painful watch for British fans not particularly interested in the film's tourist porn shots of the titular city and university. And while they do at least cast English actors in English parts (Corey Mylchreest, Dougray Scott, Catherine McCormack), some of the schmaltz could not more obviously point to American involvement – we just don't mix well with unnecessarily twinkling and dramatic music underscoring even the most mundane of teaching scenes. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. The 'rom-com', loosely based on the book by American author Julia Whelan, who attended Oxford herself, concerns ambitious working-class New Yorker Anna (Sofia Carson), who is attending the University of Oxford to study Victorian poetry as a postgraduate. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video While there she falls for charming local Jamie (Queen Charlotte's Mylchreest), who also happens to be teaching her classes, and the pair begin a very tedious, chemistry-free flirtationship before a secret he's been hiding threatens their burgeoning romance. (Also warning you that, despite Bridgerton raising our expectations in this department, there are no steamy sex scenes to be found here, and even their tiringly clichéd kiss in the rain gave me nothing.) *Spoilers ahead for My Oxford Year* This is where My Oxford Year takes a sharp left into cancerbait territory, revealing that Jamie is doomed to succumb to an unspecified form of the disease, just like his late brother, despite looking and acting like the healthiest, liveliest rake in the room – plus, y'know, Mylchreest. Obviously, they are reminding us that not everyone fatally ill looks or acts that way (and nor should they have to), but it's a clumsily made point when the film decides to give Mylchreest his first topless scene while receiving chemotherapy. And then they belatedly whack out the greyish face make-up for one scene later on. My Year at Oxford's ending reveals that Jamie does indeed die after catching a critical case of pneumonia, sharing the news surprisingly subtly as Anna lies in bed with Jamie, narrating the stops of the grand European tour they intended to go on. While the montage initially shows the couple happily together exploring Amsterdam, Venice, Paris and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion in Greece, the camera then swings around to reveal Anna on her own taking the trip instead – and fine, yes, okay, I got a little burning behind the eyes at this, but it is not a high bar to pass for a film to manipulate me intro crying. It proved even more emotionally effective for others though. 'Did I finish the movie or did the movie finish me?' asked fan Agnes on X over My Oxford Year's traumatic conclusion. 'Thought I was signing up for a chill romantic movie with a few clichés. Instead, My Oxford Year wrecked me emotionally, stabbed me in the heart and walked away like nothing happened. That ending?? RUDE. Yeah. I'm not okay. Not even a little bit,' ranted user @_httpSea_, echoing a lot of the shocked reaction to the film. 'My Oxford Year is the biggest Trojan horse ever seen. I thought I was watching a silly romcom and I just got depressed with the ending of it,' tweeted @JENNIEDEMIE. 'Why did nobody warn me that it ended like that and why am I bawling over a movie I thought would be a cute and silly rom com,' complained Lily-Rose, while Mel shared: 'Netflix really thought the book My Oxford Year wasn't sad enough, so they proceed to change the ending to send us in therapy.' Critics have not been kind to My Oxford Year, with it sitting at a dismal 29% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes at the time of publication. Collider criticised it for having the 'plot and character development out of a Wattpad novel written by a 15-year-old One Direction fan', while The New York Times called it 'a limp attempt at being this generation's About Time'. 'An uninspired yet competently assembled trifle,' mused The Guardian's two-star review, with critic Benjamin Lee saying the cancer twist will be 'met with a sigh of disappointment' for being so hackneyed. Other viewers agreed, with one saying it was 'pretty pointless' and another that it was 'worse than mediocre'. Noga E described it as 'a painful failure' in comparison to the book while Nina B complained: 'There's no spark, no soul – just two hours of hollow stares and fake chemistry.' 'It's as if A Walk to Remember and Me Before You had a very, very odd cousin that no one wants to hang out with,' added Teresita G. I knew what I was in for when the film mentioned how much it rains in the UK after barely a minute, and Carson began her narration as Anna by quoting poet Henry David Thoreau. Literature references are always the sign of an overly earnest film as you'd never catch a normal human going around quoting poetry, including out loud and at somebody (which also happens later in the film) to make a comparison, even if you were studying it at university (and I did). More Trending That sort of thing is far too intense and emotional, control yourself… which I guess may prove the film's point about British people being repressed and not wanting to talk about their feelings, which is what drives a wedge between Jamie and his father, played by Scott. So I'll give it that, I guess. My Oxford Year is streaming now on Netflix. Got a story?
