Hollywood stars Tom Holland and Zendaya have reportedly been spotted in Inverness over the weekend. The pair had been snapped strolling along Church street.
Fans soon became excited after the sightings quickly circulated on social media. Taking to social media, Scots fans had sighted the Spider-Man actor and his partner wandering around the city as its believed they have been busy filming.
The pair popped in for coffee to the delight of owners at XOKO on Bridge street. "Spider-Man marvels at his XOKO Flat White, whilst in Inverness," they captioned a photo of Tom and Zendaya.
Tristan Aitchison, owner of XOKO, confirmed they had been in on Sunday, telling the Press and Journal: 'Tom Holland and Zendaya came in in the late afternoon, around 3pm, for a round of coffee for themselves and the people they were with.
'We don't do selfies with our customers, and we treat everyone the same — so we were delighted to see someone had taken their photo on Church Street, and our cup is in the frame.'
It's not the only star-studded visitor they have had in recent months. Scottish actor Alan Cumming also visited recently for a plant-based pain au chocolat.
An image shared on social media appears to show the couple walking along Church Street. A TikTok clip reads: 'Tomdaya in Inverness?' while a widely-shared Twitter post said: 'Pretty sure I just passed Tom Holland on Church Street – what is going on??'
It appears the pair are in the area filming of Christopher Nolan's latest project The Odyssey, which also stars Matt Damon. The filming is taking place shooting scenes around Moray.
Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan himself was spotted in Aberdeenshire as he popped in for dinner to a local pizzeria. He delighted staff on Saturday, July 12, at Pizzeria Planta.
Sharing the VIP guest on social media, the pizzeria said: "A Star-Studded Night at Pizzeria Planta! "We couldn't be more proud to share that this evening we had a very special guest at Pizzeria Planta. "After hosting many people from the Odyssey production team and various actors over the past few weeks, today we had the honour of welcoming none other than Mr. Christopher Nolan!"
And staff even gave us an insight into the Oppenheimer director's taste in pizza, confirming that he opted for a classic pepperoni Neapolitan style pie.
Scotland is no stranger to big-screen productions, with Glasgow due to stand in for New York City in Spider-Man 4, with filming set to commence this summer.
Glasgow was also used for London-based scenes in Fast and Furious 6, particularly around the Broomielaw, Wellington Street, and Cadogan Street.
In The Batman, the film's gothic architecture was a key factor in choosing Glasgow as a location, with the Necropolis and other areas featured.
