Spider-Man 4, officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will see Tom Holland reprise his role as Spider-Man.
Slated for a July 2026, the long-anticipated movie will be helmed by Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton, with reports suggesting that Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink has been cast opposite Holland.
Now The Herald can reveal that the cameras will begin rolling on August 1, with Glasgow city centre set to come to a near standstill as a number of streets to close to accommodate filming.
Between August 1 and August 9, vehicle movements will be prohibited on parts of Bothwell Street, Wellington Street, West Campbell Street, Blythswood Street, Douglas Street and Pitt Street for filming, with Cadzow Street and Oak Street also closing fully on August 9.
Meanwhile, vehicle movements will also be prohibited on parts of Hope Street, Queen Street, Renfield Street, South Frederick Street, St Vincent Street, Ingram Street and West Nile Street, as well as Drury Street for its full length, for filming on August 9 and 10 and August 11 to August 13.
Production will then move to the Merchant City, with vehicle movements prohibited on Wilson Street, Brunswick Street, Hutchison Street and Candleriggs between August 13 and 16, with scenes also being shot on Glassford Street and Virginia Street on August 14 and 15.
In June, filming notification engagement letters for the production - which has the working title 'Blue Oasis' - went out to residents in Glasgow city centre earlier.
According to the letters, some of the scenes being shot will "involve vehicles in the road".
Tom Holland will reprise his role as Spider-Man
Plot details remain under wraps, but long-time Spider-Man franchise producer Amy Pascal, while appearing on Deadline's Behind the Lens podcast in December last year, teased what we can expect from the story.
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.
In October last year, 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.
