Spider-Man swings into Glasgow: Tom Holland filming on streets of city

Spider-Man has been spotted swinging through the streets of Glasgow.

But don't worry, he hasn't taken a wrong turn on his way to New York – the city has been transformed into the Big Apple for filming of the brand-new Spider-Man movie, called Brand New Day.

Fans were spinning in excitement as they spotted yellow New York-style taxis, American police cars, and even a tank (yes – a tank!) rumbling past shops and businesses.

Spidey actor Tom Holland was seen in action, stood on vehicles and attached to wires.

Parts of the city centre have been made to look like New York City as filming there is set to last until 15 August.

Star Tom Holland was also showing off his brand new spider suit – teased just last week.

But it wasn't just Tom doing the heroics – a stunt double was seen actually swinging between buildings using wires and a giant crane-like rig.

Explosions (don't worry, fake ones!) lit up the streets, adding to the marvel-lous movie magic.

Crowds of people have gathered to catch a glimpse of the action, with lots of kids enjoying the excitement on their summer holidays.

Some even wore their own Spidey masks and costumes and even had the chance to meet Tom Holland between scenes.

Glasgow has also been used as New York for other films - for example Indiana Jones and the Dial Of Destiny - and the city has also featured as the DC Comics version of NYC, Gotham City, in The Flash and The Batman.

But if grown ups driving in the city start to feel their spidey-sense tingling, it's probably just the traffic - as filming means more than fifty Glasgow roads will be closed for at least two weeks.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is out in cinemas next year.
