Marvel extends Glasgow shoot for new Spider-Man movie
The Marvel movie, set for release next year, is being filmed in several parts of the city, including Bothwell Street, Glassford Street and St Vincent Street. The streets of Glasgow city centre have been redesigned in the image of New York as filming for the new Spider-Man movie takes place. US flags and banners have been draped on the sides of buildings, and Big Apple-style street furniture and food stalls lines the streets alongside New York Police Department cars, buses, and now-iconic yellow taxis. On Sunday, Tom Holland, who is reprising his role as Spider-Man, was spotted filming scenes while clad in the web-slinger's famous suit. Spider-Man 4, officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, follows the huge success of 2021's No Way Home, which grossed $1.9bn worldwide - making it the sixth highest-grossing movie in history. Filming began in Glasgow on August 1 and was originally expected to continue until August 15. However, The Herald can exclusively reveal that Marvel has secured permission from Glasgow City Council to extend the shoot. Filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day will now continue until August 26 - 11 days longer than was previously anticipated.

Road restrictions indicate that production will move to Hutchison Street from August 16 to August 18, before taking over Cochrane Street, John Street, South Frederick Street and Montrose Street from August 21 to August 26. Glasgow City Council has now revised its list of traffic restrictions in place in the city centre to accommodate the shoot being extended: Prohibition of vehicle movements 09:00hrs on the 22 August 2025 to 23:59hrs on the 26 August 2025 Cochrane Street for its full length John Street between Ingram Street and Cochrane Street South Frederick Street, southbound only, for its full length Prohibition of vehicle movements 05:00hrs on the 22 August 2025 to 22:00hrs on the 24 August 2025 John Street between George Street and Cochrane Street Prohibition of vehicle movements 07:00hrs on the 25 August 2025 to 23:59hrs on the 26 August 2025 Montrose Street between George Street and Ingram Street Prohibition of waiting, loading and unloading 15:00hrs on 21 August 2025 to 23:59hrs on 26 August 2025 Cochrane Street for its full length Montrose Street between George Street and Ingram Street Plot details remain for the movie remain under wraps, but long-time Spider-Man franchise producer Amy Pascal, teased what we can expect from the story during an appearance on a podcast in December last year. She said: 'We have to deal with the fact that he decided he was going to give up being Peter Parker [in No Way Home], and that he was going to focus on being Spider-Man because being Peter Parker was too hard.' The forthcoming movie marks the fourth instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man franchise, and creators have said it will see a change in tone when compared with the previous three movies, which were released in 2017, 2019, and 2021. A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: 'While we cannot comment on individual productions, the council's Glasgow Film Office is in constant dialogue with film, broadcast and advertising productions of all sizes who are interested in filming in the city to establish how we can support them. "These productions bring a significant economic benefit to Glasgow, and have helped to steadily grow the capacity of our film and broadcast sector in recent years, as seen in new facilities such as the Kelvin Hall studio.'
