Spider-Man Filming Transforms Glasgow into New York City
Filming for the latest installment of the Marvel franchise has taken over Glasgow, transforming the city into a bustling representation of New York City. The production began on July 31 and is set to continue until August 15. With props, vehicles resembling those of the New York Police Department, and classic yellow taxis populating the streets, the scene has attracted numerous fans eager to witness the action.
As filming progressed, excitement peaked on Sunday when Tom Holland, the actor portraying Spider-Man, made a surprise appearance. Fans gathered along the streets to catch a glimpse of their hero, cheering as Holland interacted with them amidst the filming chaos. The atmosphere was electric as tanks and cars sped through the streets, showcasing thrilling stunts and action sequences.
Despite inclement weather brought on by Storm Floris, filming continued unabated on Tuesday. A stunt double for Holland was spotted swinging from a truck-mounted apparatus on Bothwell Street, thrilling fans who were delighted to see the web-slinger in action, even if it was not the actor himself. Spectators erupted in cheers as Spider-Man waved from atop a tank, adding to the excitement of the day.
The enthusiasm of the fans was palpable, with comments reflecting their eagerness to see the production unfold. One fan shared with STV News, “We’ve been here for about an hour now, and just hoping to catch a glimpse of Tom.” Another noted, “We’ve been here for about 20 minutes, but we came the other day, and it was really exciting; it’s great for the city.”
The previous Spider-Man film, released in 2021, featured Holland alongside fellow actors Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, who reprised their roles in a groundbreaking multiverse event. That film shattered box-office records upon its release, nearly surpassing the success of Marvel’s iconic Avengers franchise.
As Glasgow continues to serve as the backdrop for this high-profile production, local authorities have implemented various road closures. For those interested, a full list of these closures is available through city resources. The filming has not only brought excitement to fans but also a significant boost to the local economy, emphasizing the cultural impact of the Marvel franchise on cities around the world.
