Tom Holland’s stunt double was seen hard at work on Saturday as Glasgow was transformed into New York City to film the upcoming Spider-Man movie.
Tom Holland and Zendaya will be returning to screen for their fourth Spider-Man movie, titled Brand New Day, which is slated for release in July 2026.
Fans have already been waiting four years to the follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home, and as filming finally kicked off, some very dramatic scenes were seen being filmed.
A stunt double for leading actor Tom, 29 – who plays Peter Parker – was strapped to the roof of a moving vehicle, with excitement gearing up for the superhero venture.
The nail-biting stunts were performed on top of a tank, with rehearsals taking place ahead of the scenes being filmed.
The cast and crew were hard at work as they seemed to be planning some daredevil manoeuvres for the action film.
A blacked-out Mercedes 4×4 AMG was seen guarding the area as they drove through the Scottish city.
US flags have been erected on the sides of buildings while bright yellow taxis have been parked up in the city as Glasgow has been turned into New York City for filming.
According to The Sun, producers planned to film in Liverpool but changed location following the devastating parade crash in the city on May 26, which left 109 people injured.
Paul Doyle, 53, appeared in court earlier this month charged with seven offences including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
In light of the crash, producers reportedly made the decision to relocate filming to Glasgow to be respectful to those affected by the incident.
‘There were discussions about whether it was appropriate to stage big stunts, including car chases and explosions, in light of the awful incident,’ a source told the publication.
‘Filming is due to start in the coming days in Scotland so fans should keep their eyes peeled for webs on street corners.’
A number of major roads will be closed in Glasgow over the coming days as production takes over the city, according to the Herald.
Leading stars Tom and Zendaya, 28, were already in Scotland ahead of filming after shooting for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in the country earlier this month.
Daily Mail contacted Tom and Zendaya’s representatives and Disney+ for comment at the time.
Tom first appeared as Spider-Man in the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War and made his solo debut in the 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, alongside Zendaya – who portrays his love interest MJ.
He has appeared in another two Spider-Man movies – 2019’s Far From Home and 2021’s No Way Home – as well as other Marvel spin-offs.
No Way Home finished on a dramatic cliffhanger which saw the entire world forget who Peter Parker is after his identity as Spider-Man was made public in the previous film, causing him endless issues.
Fans have been eagerly waiting to see whether Peter will be able to pick things up again with MJ after she devastatingly forgot who he was altogether following Doctor Strange’s spell.
Leading stars Tom and Zendaya fostered a real-life romance on the set of Spider-Man as they began dating after starring as on-screen lovers.
They got engaged in December of last year, but will not be tying the knot any time soon due to their busy filming schedules, according to Law Roach.
Zendaya’s trusted stylist told E! News of the nuptials: ‘The process hasn’t even started yet […].’ Zendaya is working on so many movies.
‘She’s now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she’s away doing that. It’s so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.’
As well as co-starring in Brand New Day, the in-demand couple will also appear in Christopher Nolan‘s big-screen adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey next year.
Zendaya is also shooting Denis Villeneuve’s fantasy flick Dune: Part Three, Kristoffer Borgli’s romantic dramedy The Drama, DreamWorks animated movie Shrek 5, and the third season of HBO Max’s drama Euphoria.
Zendaya has also signed on to produce and star as singer Ronnie Spector in Barry Jenkins’ biopic Be My Baby, which is based on her 2022 memoir.
