Spider-Man star Tom Holland filming in streets of Glasgow

Spider-Man actor Tom Holland has met fans while filming the latest instalment of the superhero franchise in Glasgow.

The actor is starring in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which began filming in the city on Friday.

It is the second film in a row the star has made in Scotland. He was seen last month shooting Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey at various locations around Inverness and Moray.

Parts of Glasgow city centre have been dressed to look like an American city and filming there is set to last two weeks.

Holland was seen on Sunday shooting an action sequence in costume before speaking to a crowd of about 100 people.

Large sections of the city centre have been closed off for filming and there have been warnings of widespread disruption.

The film is the latest in a long line of Hollywood blockbusters to have filmed in the city in recent years.

Twisters star Glen Powell has made two films – a remake of 1980s sci-fi thriller The Running Man as well as JJ Abrams’ Ghostwriter – in the past year.

Glasgow has also stood in for New York and its fictional counterpart Gotham City in Indiana Jones and the Dial Of Destiny, The Flash and The Batman.
