It is also believed that Stranger Things star Sadie Sink will appear alongside Holland.
Filming is scheduled to officially begin on August 1, but the shoot will result in widespread disruption for more than two weeks, with road closures, parking bans, and bus lane suspensions in place across the city centre.
Glasgow City Council has confirmed that traffic diversions will be in place and warned that bus and taxi lanes will also be impacted.
Delays and congestion are expected, particularly around key commuter routes.
For the safety of pedestrians, a prohibition of pedestrian movements will also be enforced during periods of filming action.
(Image: Newsquest) This restriction will apply to the same areas detailed under the Prohibition of Vehicle Movements section and will be in force only while action is taking place.
Pedestrians are advised to follow all on-site signage and instructions from stewards or film crew personnel during these periods for their own safety and to avoid disruption to filming.
It is currently unknown who will be travelling to Glasgow.

The Glasgow Times previously reported that residents and businesses in the city centre had been notified that a production will shut down the area.
On the papers, the project is only referred to as a "feature film".
Glasgow City Council and the officials from the London-based production company both said they would not be able to confirm which film will use the set.
However, the phrase Blue Oasis has been spotted on the written notices, which was reportedly the working title for the newest Marvel film in the past

Why celebs think cigarettes are 'cool' again: Bizarre reason stars shun vapes in favour of real tobacco, as Beyonce and Dua Lipa lead the legions lighting up
From Beyonce lighting up on stage to Dua Lipa dangling a cigarette between her fingers in a holiday snap shared on Instagram, celebrities are entering a new era of outright flaunting the dirty habit they were once at pains to keep a secret. Pop stars with a young fan base went through a long phase of keeping any penchant for cigarettes as private as possible, for fear of being accused of promoting bad habits - but that era appears to be at an end. Stars including Paul Mescal, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams have all been spotted smoking in public - and crucially they've opted for traditional cigarettes rather than vapes or e-cigarettes. While nicotine is known to increase the risk of at least 16 types of cancer and contributing to 20 per cent of preventable deaths, vaping has equally disasteful problems of its own - that have nothing to do with the health risks. Last month, the sale of disposable vapes was banned in the UK to discourage children from taking up the habit and to try to mitigate the environmental impact. Vaping is also closely associated with teenagers, who would have in previous generations experimented with smoking, and middle aged addicts trying to quit cigarettes, with the the 45-54 age group seeing the largest increase in vaping rates. Stars including Paul Mescal (pictured), Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Dua Lipa and Beyonce have all been spotted smoking, as vapes and other quitting aids dwindle in popularity - having been deemed designed for middle-aged people or teens So perhaps it's no surprise that smoking cigarettes has enjoyed renaissance over the past year with superstars resuming smoking in an apparent bid to 'look cool'. It's a habit celebrated by the Instagram account 'Cigfluencers' documents stars smoking alongside the bio: 'aka HOT PEOPLE keeping the art of SMOKING & BEING COOL alive…'. One of the world's leading lung oncologists, Dr James Wilson, told MailOnline that after an explosion in popularity for vaping, a return to traditional smoking is not surprising. 'Vaping now has a curious allure, appealing to two very different groups, young and old,' he explained. 'We have traditional smokers attempting to stop using cigarettes, and teenagers attracted to the novelty of e-cigarettes. Vaping has become associated with image rather than health. 'So, much like the 1950s, when smoking was regarded as trendy, today's young people are attracted to vaping for its perceived coolness. And of course failing to see the risks associated with addiction. A simple image-driven appeal can lead some back to smoking cigarettes, perhaps when the novelty of vaping wears off. 'Society is beginning to acknowledge that while vaping may assist some in quitting smoking, it also risks normalising tobacco use for our vital younger generation. The benefit of quitting cigarettes versus the adoption of vaping is something we must honestly address in this country. 'Education on the risks involved is key. Oddly, this echoes the kind of cyclical nature of smoking's desirability. From the mid-20th century to today, it is a history we need to discuss. 'The reality is that there's nothing glamorous about nicotine addiction, no matter how it is delivered. Both ultimately take a toll on general health, skin, lungs, heart, lifestyle, and overall vitality. That doesn't sound too cool to me.' In addition he warned that celebs who favour smoking over vaping are taking a serious risk with their health. 'Smoking is very simply more harmful than vaping,' Dr Wilson said. 'This is due to the specific toxic substances involved and the subsequent biological effects. 'The promotion of smoking, especially by huge stars like Beyoncé, does two things, it reinforces its acceptance and normalises a dangerous habit to vulnerable young people. Research shows us that early exposure to smoking imagery does increase the likelihood of smoking initiation. 'When tobacco is combusted, we know it unleashes thousands of harmful chemicals, from tar to carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and various carcinogens. These substances damage lung tissue directly and also impact the cardiovascular system. That means an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Tar is particularly worrying as we know it accumulates in lung tissue, leading to COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and emphysema, conditions that severely impair lung function. 'Vaping is simply heating a liquid solution, usually with propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. Vapes are not without risk, but we know they contain fewer harmful substances than cigarettes. It is the absence of combustion in the vaping process that means many of the dangerous byproducts are significantly reduced. The latest research shows that vaping presents health risks. But cigarette smoking delivers a far greater level of toxic compounds. 'The biological impacts of smoking, particularly on adolescent lungs, can hinder growth and development and also long-term respiratory issues, plus a potential addiction to nicotine. 'The long-term consequences from smoking are indisputable. In my clinic in I see cancer, cardiovascular diseases, a reduced quality of life, all directly because of cigarette use.' GRACIE ABRAMS The singer and nepo-baby, who is the daughter of Star Wars titan JJ Abrams, came under fire last weekend for being spotted with a cigarette at Glastonbury. Fans took to social media to blast the star, 25, with references to her 2021 song Camden at the helm of the critique over her smoking. In the song, Gracie utters: 'At least I'll never turn to cigarettes / My brother shielded me from all of that / He said that smoking was a killer.' Taking to X, users penned: 'Let's think about our choices, Gracie... Can't afford to smoke with that voice... Smoking? This explains her out of breath performances... She takes her career as seriously as we would imagine nepo babies to.' PAUL MESCAL Gracie's boyfriend Paul meanwhile is also a fan of puffing on a nicotine stick. The Irish hunk is often seen smoking and even gave an interview in which he detailed his inability to quit while bulking up to star in last year's Gladiator 2. Despite honing his buff body with a strict diet and gruelling gym routine, he admitted he refused to sacrifice his two main vices. He said: 'I did everything he asked but I like to drink, and I like to smoke, so I drew a line in the sand where those were concerned'. Paul is known to rub shoulders with fellow A-list puffers, as he was recently spotted enjoying a cigarette with Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Natalie Portman. CHARLI XCX As the founder of the 'Brat Summer', Charli XCX is a strong promoter of smoking. The British star described the concept of 'Brat' as 'a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra'. Such is her passion for smoking that at her 32nd birthday party in LA last year, her fellow pop star Rosalía gifted her a bouquet of cigarettes. DUA LIPA Dua Lipa publicly stated that she quit smoking, yet there were late instances in which she was seen with cigarettes after this announcement. In December 2021, she mentioned quitting due to laryngitis and for her 'Future Nostalgia' tour. However, in the summer of 2023, she was photographed smoking. More recently, she posted photos on Instagram where she is seen holding a cigarette, seemingly in defiance of a no-smoking sign. DOJA CAT Last year, Doja Cat was seen puffing on a cigarette - despite extensive discussion of her plans to quit both vaping and traditional smoking. The musician enjoyed a smoke despite previously claiming she was 'nicotine free' through the help of hypnotherapy, and undergoing tonsil surgery to remove an abscess in 2022. In April 2023, Doja spoke about smoking nicotine-free vapes during a conversation with Interview Magazine: 'I haven't smoked nicotine in like 10 weeks... 'And then Elle just came out with a shoot where I'm smoking a cigarette, but it was when I was smoking. They've had these photos in this interview for a thousand years, and now people are like, 'Oh my God, she's smoking again.'... 'But I don't smoke. I'm nicotine free. And I love nicotine free vapes. Any zero nicotine vape doesn't hit, it just feels like you're breathing and it's like, 'What is this?' It feels pointless. But this thing really feels… It hits, it has the same effect. 'I also got hypnotherapy. And it worked, like immediately. I did it and then just didn't smoke after that, forever'. The next month she was blasted for vaping at the Met Gala, despite Anna Wintour banning smoking and it being nearly a year after she had an abscess surgically removed from her throat. Although seemingly simply part of her stage act, Beyonce proved cigarettes are certainly the accessory du jour at her Cowboy Carter tour stop in Paris last month. The superstar pulled out a cigarette mid-performance and started pretending to puff on the prop during her show. As seen in fan-taken footage at previous shows, she takes 'smoking hot' literally during the gig and goes onstage to theatrically light a piano on fire. SABRINA CARPENTER Sabrina Carpenter - known for her sizzling, oversexualized image - used a fork as a cigarette holder in the music video for her latest single Manchild. The song, which was released last month, saw her sparking up a cigarette in a petrol station while sitting on a retro car with a fur coat. She has also been pictured puffing on cigars at various times Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Justine Triet, Swann Arlaud, and Sophie Mas backstage at the 2024 Academy Awards. It was reported in 2022 Kirsten and Jesse had kicked the habit for their children, however recent snaps appeared to indicate other ways. She is a long time smoker and has even been accused of losing her voice due to her habit.

Dita Von Teese, 52, admits she WANTS to feel 'objectified and sexualised' and says the subject still feels 'taboo' after stunning fans with her racy Diamonds and Dust burlesque show
Dita Von Teese has revealed the moments she 'wants to feel objectified and sexualised' after stunning fans with her latest show. The burlesque star, 52, has been taking to the stage in her Diamonds And Dust show, which features 'high glamour, bold women, and dangerous games' at the Emerald Theatre in London. And speaking to Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast, Dita shared that she feels there is still 'taboo' around feeling sexualised and desired, and admitted the moments she feels most objectified, haven't been when she's on stage. She said: 'Interestingly, the times I feel objectified are never to do with being on stage or doing what I do. 'It's always other weird things in life that you're just like, ''Oh, God, it's so weird to have somebody asking me that question'' or maybe somebody will recognize me for instance and they ask for a picture and I'll pose for their picture and then somebody else will be like, they don't know who I am, they just are like, ''why does those people want a picture?'' 'And they'll be very aggressive and like, ''I want one too'' and you're just like, oh, that's where you feel objectified when people put their hands on you or 'I need this too' or ''can you do this?'' Dita Von Teese has revealed the moments she 'wants to feel objectified and sexualised' after stunning fans with her latest show 'Anything like that I feel objectified. I know it's really taboo to say, but sometimes you're just like, ''I just want to be objectified for a minute. Wouldn't that be nice?'' 'I want to be sexualized and objectified sometimes. 'I think I'm also so used to having a theatre full of women that are there maybe because they read my book or whatever, or they follow me and then sometimes, especially this happens in Vegas, when there's people that don't know me, they don't know what my show is about. 'They are just walking into it and they're just like, 'yeah, this is hot' and I'm like, 'oh good I'm glad that it's still sexy and hot too'. 'I like to create a show that feels if you have never heard of me, you're still going to be like, 'that was so much fun. I've never seen anything like that in my life.' Credited with re-popularising burlesque, Dita, born Heather Renée Sweet, is an American vedette and businesswoman. A vedette is the main female artist of a show derived from cabaret and its subcategories of revue, vaudeville, music hall or burlesque. In January, Dita left Lorraine viewers swooning in a plunging gown as she revealed the 'most outrageous challenge of her life' on the hit daytime show. The model opened up to Lorraine Kelly about her time on The Masked Dancer. Dita starred on the ITV competition back in 2021 and dressed as a beetroot in a green and purple dress with a mask the shape of the vegetable. She revealed to Lorraine how she had suffered with vertigo from riding a mechanical bull and subsequently found dancing on the show difficult. Dita said: 'I had vertigo from riding my mechanical bull, I was riding my mechanical bull, swinging my head around and I triggered a vertigo thing and it was a problem for a year so I'm doing The Masked Dancer with this head and the lights on the floor were crazy, it was outrageous. 'It was one of the biggest challenges of my life but it was funny and I loved it,' the dancer added. The show was filmed during the Covid pandemic and Dita stayed at Claridges during the filming. Dita said: 'It was my favourite, besides doing the show and laughing throughout, it was right when the pandemic started and it was a full lockdown here and I was the only guest at Claridges.' She enjoyed a mostly empty hotel and 'special treatment' during her stay. 'I had it all to myself, I'd come wafting down that staircase in the mornings in my nightgown. There were like five people working there and I just had special treatment and they were like sure, you can stay there, because I'm a friend of the hotel,' Dita added.

ITV's 'most expensive flop in years' fronted by David Tennant facing the axe after getting fewer viewers than niche nature documentary
The show described as ITV's 'most expensive flop in years' is facing the axe after drawing in fewer viewers than a BBC documentary about pangolins. Hosted by David Tennant, The Genius Game is reported to have cost £2.5 million to make, but despite the huge investment, it had average viewership numbers of 661,000 after a promising start. This matched the viewership figures of BBC2's Pangolins: The World's Most Wanted Animal, which examines the plight of the endangered animals also known as scaly anteaters. An insider told The Sun: 'Publicly ITV maintains that no firm decision has been taken, but most execs and commissioners view it as a disaster. 'Not only did it occupy a primetime 9pm slot, it had a big-name host and was seen as a potential rival for BBC 's The Traitors. 'But of the five main channels on June 11, it was beaten by two and equalled by BBC2, thanks to those pangolins.' The Genius Game is intellect-based and sees contestants put their IQ to the test in never-before-seen games and manipulate each other for a cash prize, but many found it confusing and difficult to understand. While the show had a promising 1.5 million viewers when it first aired in April, by the second episode this number had plummeted to 846,000 viewers. To put this into context compared to other primetime TV shows, BBC1's Race Across The World attracted 4.2 million viewers at the same time. ITV has said: 'No decision has yet been made.' News of the show's uncertain future comes after its broadcast schedule was changed amid plummeting viewer numbers. When it first premiered, Genius Game was set to air on Wednesday and Thursday. But now, there was a change in the schedule and it was subsequently only broadcast on Wednesday evenings. Jeremy Clarkson's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? celebrity specials were then moved into its Thursday slot for two weeks in May. The shake-up meant the show was spread out over seven weeks instead of four. It comes after many viewers during the first episode took issue with the new program and commented on how 'complicated' it seemed, with many not understanding the premise It comes after many viewers during the first episode took issue with the program and commented on how 'complicated' it seemed, with many not understanding the premise. Some took to social media to share their concerns and posted on X: 'Just starting this. Seems very complicated. I'll watch it out but not looking good tbh #GeniusGame.' One watcher turned off the show in just ten minutes and penned: 'Bye bye.' Others said: 'Sorry #GeniusGame it's a no from me, way too complicated for that time of night, I need mindless entertainment after a busy day, ITV should've just extended #CBBUK instead.' 'I'm struggling to understand. I'm clearly no genius, the rules on rules on rules are something else #GeniusGame.' The MailOnline has reached out to ITV for comment.
