The streets of Glasgow city centre have been redesigned in the image of New York as filming for the new Spider-Man movie takes place.
The Marvel movie, set for release next year, is being filmed in several parts of the city, including Bothwell Street, Glassford Street and St Vincent Street.
US flags and banners have been draped on the sides of buildings, and Big Apple-style street furniture and food stalls lines the streets alongside New York Police Department cars, buses, and now-iconic yellow taxis.
On Sunday, Tom Holland, who is reprising his role as Spider-Man, was spotted filming scenes while clad in the web-slinger's famous suit.

Spider-Man 4 filming to take over Glasgow this summer
Spider-Man 4, officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, follows the huge success of 2021's No Way Home, which grossed $1.9bn worldwide - making it the sixth highest-grossing movie in history.
Filming began in Glasgow on August 1 and was originally expected to continue until August 15.
However, The Herald can exclusively reveal that Marvel has secured permission from Glasgow City Council to extend the shoot.
The Herald understands that filming will continue in the Merchant City area of the city until August 18.
Road restrictions indicate that production will move to Hutchison Street from August 16 to August 18.
Glasgow City Council has now revised its list of traffic restrictions in place in the city centre to accommodate the shoot being extended:
Prohibition of waiting, loading and unloading
From 15:00hrs on the 10 August 2025 until 15:00hrs on 11 August 2025
From 15:00hrs on the 17 August 2025 until 18:00hrs on the 18 August 2025
- Hutchison Street between Trongate and Wilson Street
Prohibition of vehicle movements
From 08:00hrs on 11 August 2025 until 18:00hrs on the 15 August 2025
From 00:01hrs on the 16 August 2025 until 18:00hrs on the 18 August 2025
- Hutchison Street between Trongate and Wilson Street
Suspension of Bus Lane regulations
From 06:00hrs on the 11 August 2025 until 18:00hrs on the 18 August 2025
- LW0138 Glassford Street, northbound between Trongate and Wilson Street
Plot details remain for the movie remain under wraps, but long-time Spider-Man franchise producer Amy Pascal, teased what we can expect from the story during an appearance on a podcast in December last year.
She said: “We have to deal with the fact that he decided he was going to give up being Peter Parker [in No Way Home], and that he was going to focus on being Spider-Man because being Peter Parker was too hard.”
The forthcoming movie marks the fourth instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man franchise, and creators have said it will see a change in tone when compared with the previous three movies, which were released in 2017, 2019, and 2021.
Approached by The Herald about the shoot, a spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: “While we cannot comment on individual productions, the council’s Glasgow Film Office is in constant dialogue with film, broadcast and advertising productions of all sizes who are interested in filming in the city to establish how we can support them.
"These productions bring a significant economic benefit to Glasgow, and have helped to steadily grow the capacity of our film and broadcast sector in recent years, as seen in new facilities such as the Kelvin Hall studio.”
