Glasgow's bustling city centre underwent a dramatic transformation this week, as it stood in for New York during filming for the latest Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland. The iconic Buchanan Street was draped in American flags and adorned with yellow cabs, creating an uncanny resemblance to the Big Apple.
A Superhero Makeover
Production crews worked tirelessly to recreate the New York atmosphere, complete with authentic-looking street signs and shopfronts. Pedestrians were treated to the surreal sight of Marvel's web-slinger swinging between Glasgow's historic buildings.
Local Excitement Builds
Local residents and visitors alike gathered to catch glimpses of the action, with many sharing photos on social media. "It's not every day you see Spider-Man dangling from a Glasgow rooftop," remarked one thrilled onlooker.
Marvel's Glasgow Connection
This isn't the first time Glasgow has doubled for American cities in major productions. The city's versatile architecture and grid-like street layout make it a filmmaker's dream for creating convincing urban landscapes.
With filming expected to continue throughout the week, Glaswegians can look forward to more superhero sightings before the production moves on to its next location.
