Filming for blockbuster flick Brand New Day means parts of the city will double as New York until August 15 as the £150million production gets underway.

Credit: PA 3 Tom Holland and girlfriend Zendaya are both starring in the movie. Credit: Getty The Marvel sequel, set for release next year, has led to Blythswood Street, Pitt Street, Wellington Street, and Bothwell Street being draped in US flags and banners that people would expect to see in the Big Apple. While New York Police Department cars, buses, and food vans have been spotted near the Scottish event campus as Tom Holland, 29, returns as the titular character, with real-life girlfriend Zendaya, 28, as Michelle Jones "MJ" Watson, Jon Berntha, 48,l portraying The Punisher, and Charlie Cox, 42, as Daredevil. Local Olga Lenkiewicz, 19, said: "It's really cool to see this happening in your own city. "I've watched all the Spider-Man films and I'm a film student so it's nice to see the set coming together." Goktug Bulut added: "It's very exciting to wake up in New York City. I'm a big Spider-Man fan so I'm excited to see Glasgow like this. "Seeing the flags first then trucks and tanks and people working on it was amazing. " While Alfie Corrall, 17, from Edinburgh, quipped: "It looks very much like New York. "There was a good amount of people about and hopefully we'll get to see some sort of action over the next few weeks." The film, set to come out on July 31 next year, marks the fourth instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man franchise. 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. Carlos Alcaraz challenged to golf by Spider-Man ahead of Wimbledon quarter-final vs Cam Norrie Filming is set to move further along into Merchant City after Wednesday, August 13, with scenes are also expected to be shot on Glassford Street and Virginia Street. It's just the latest movie to pick Glasgow as a production base - as in November it was transformed into a dystopian New York for The Running Man, a reboot of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film. Hollywood hunk Glen Powell, 36, was spotted in and around the city, and he even popped into The Locale in Charing Cross for a wrap party. 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.
