Spider-Man: Brand New Day Swings into Glasgow

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man* is back on the streets — this time in Glasgow city centre, which has been transformed into New York for the upcoming *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*. Filming is set to last two weeks, with *Bothwell Street at the heart of the action.

Glasgow Becomes New York (Again)

The production has dressed Glasgow with all the classic Big Apple details — yellow cabs*, **American flags**, and **NYPD patrol cars**. Onlookers spotted a *huge armoured vehicle speeding down Bothwell Street, flanked by police, in what looked like a major action sequence.

It’s not the first time Glasgow has doubled for the U.S. — the city has also played New York and even Gotham City in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny*, *World War Z*, *The Flash*, and *The Batman.

A New Suit for a New Chapter

Fans got a glimpse of Holland’s latest Spider-Man suit — a classic spandex look* with **raised black rubbery webbing, the first time we’ve seen that texture since the Andrew Garfield (*Peter 3*) era. Tobey Maguire (*Peter 2*) also sported raised webbing, but Holland’s MCU (*Peter 1) Spider-Man has mostly worn sleek, gadget-laden suits from Tony Stark.

With Brand New Day* set after the events of *No Way Home*, Peter Parker now lives in a world where no one remembers he’s Spider-Man — and with Stark gone (*cries), this stripped-back suit signals a return to basics.

Action-Packed Weeks Ahead

With filming continuing across Glasgow’s city centre, fans can expect more high-energy set pieces and behind-the-scenes glimpses. From armoured vehicle chases to classic web-slinging, Brand New Day is shaping up to blend grounded street-level action with the spectacle Spider-Man fans love.
