Tom Holland was all smiles as he appeared for the first time on the set of the new Spider-Man film in Glasgow on Sunday.
The Scottish city has been transformed into downtown New York for filming after becoming an alternate (and cheaper) option to the Big Apple itself.
Tom, 29, smiled as he waved to fans in the superhero’s famous suit as he began work on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set to be released in 2026.
He even appeared to jokingly shoot webs from his suit after first portraying the character in Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War in 2016.
While the final casting of the latest instalment in the Spider-Man franchise has not been confirmed, Tom is believed to be starring alongside Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, 23.
Zendaya, 29, will also feature in the film after striking up a romance with Tom on the set of his first feature-length film as the hero, Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016.
Tom’s appearance in Glasgow comes amid a very busy time for the actor after he was named the new face of Prada’s Paradigme Fragrance — and posed with some adorable puppies to promote it.
He also recently addressed speculation that he could be stepping into the shoes of James Bond.
Tom’s name has been bandied about along with other high-profile stars as a potential new star of the James Bond franchise.
But Tom Holland didn’t give any hints about the speculation when he was asked about it in a video posted Thursday.
A screenwriter for the highly anticipated film was also announced on Friday.
While joining chef Gordon Ramsay on his YouTube channel to make fried chicken sandwiches and promote his non-alcoholic beer brand, Tom acknowledged the ‘speculation’ swirling around him.
‘Listen, there’s speculation at the minute. We’ll keep it to a minimum for now,’ he said with a sheepish grin. ‘We’ll get there one day.’
‘Every young British actor, it’s the pinnacle of working in our industry,’ Tom continued. ‘I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I’ve had.’
The next Bond film is coming into focus after the announcement on Friday that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight would be joining Villeneuve behind the camera to write the next James Bond film.
While speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, Knight said: ‘It has always been on my bucket list and it’s fantastic to be invited to do it — I can’t wait to get started.’
The movie will be overseen by Amazon MGM Studios, after producer Barbara Broccoli gave up creative control of the Bond franchise.
Even though the creative team is falling into place for the next Bond film, there haven’t been any indications of who will replace Craig — or which actors are being considered.
The producers are reportedly looking for a considerably younger actor to take over the role after Craig — who is 57 — presented a more weathered, mortality-focused version of the beloved character.
