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 most recent Spider-Man film, 2021's No Way Home, was a huge box office success, grossing $1.9bn worldwide - making it the sixth highest-grossing movie in history. Tom Holland revealed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will begin filming in the summer of 2025 during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in October 2024. Now The Herald can reveal that production crews are set to descend on Glasgow to shoot scenes for the forthcoming blockbuster in mid-August. Spider-Man: No Way Home grossed approximately $1.9 billion globally Filming notification engagement letters for the production - which has the working title 'Blue Oasis' - went out to residents in Glasgow city centre earlier this week. The letters note that production crews are "working towards" filming on Bothwell Street, St Vincent Street, Waterloo Street and Oak Street through Richmond Street. According to the letters, some of the scenes being shot will "involve vehicles in the road, with production crews anticipating that Bothwell Street will be closed to vehicles (between Pitt Street and Hope Street) for approximately one week to accommodate filming. The news that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be shooting in Glasgow this summer comes as Scotland's biggest city gears up to play host to another bid-budget Hollywood production. The Herald understands that filming for JJ Abrams' next movie is set to take over Glasgow City Chambers and nearby Cochrane Street over a number of days next week. The still-untitled feature - Abrams' first since 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - brings together an all-star cast, with Samuel L. Jackson tapped to play a key role alongside Glen Powell (Twisters/Top Gun: Maverick), Jenna Ortega (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) and Emma Mackey (Sex Education/Barbie). Reports suggest it will be a fantasy film inspired by the 1984 movie The Last Starfighter, a space opera about a video game player recruited to fight an interstellar war against aliens. Hollywood star Glen Powell was recently in Glasgow to shoot Edgar Wright's reboot of 1987 action flick The Running Man. A number of sites in the city were used to emulate the streets of New York, with filming taking place across the city centre, the West End and the SEC Armadillo. Approached by The Herald, 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.'
