Glasgow transforms into New York as filming for the new Spider-Man movie continues.

Marvel secures Glasgow extension for Spider-Man shoot

The filming of the upcoming Marvel film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is taking place in Glasgow, which has been transformed to resemble New York City. Originally slated to conclude on August 15, the shoot has been extended to August 26, with scenes filmed in several key areas like Bothwell Street and Glassford Street. Tom Holland, reprising his role as Spider-Man, was seen in costume during the filming. Glasgow City Council has adapted traffic restrictions to accommodate this extended schedule, highlighting the collaboration between the council and the film industry, which has proven beneficial for the local economy.

The decision to extend the filming period reflects both the production's demands and Glasgow's growing reputation as a filming location. As the city acts as a stand-in for New York, it shines a light on the potential economic impacts of such large-scale film productions. The rise of film projects in Glasgow is not just about immediate revenue but also long-term benefits, including heightened visibility to attract future projects. The collaboration between Marvel and local authorities may set a precedent for future filming endeavors in the area.
