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.

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.

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.
