Rumours are swirling that director Abrams' new film is an 80s throwback loosely inspired by The Last Starfighter, but the title remains unknown.
The motion picture will also feature Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, Sex Education actress Emma Mackey, and Top Gun: Maverick actor Glen Powell.
Back in November, Glasgow was transformed into a dystopian New York as filming began for The Running Man, a reboot of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film.
Glen Powell was spotted filming in and around the city and even visited The Locale in Charing Cross for a wrap party.
