Production for the film commenced in August 2024 on the streets of the Scottish city. Mr Cretton reported that thousands of people attended the initial filming days, expressing enthusiasm and support for the production.
Speaking at the film's London premiere, Mr Cretton told the Press Association that the people of Glasgow were particularly warm, welcoming, and fun. He added that they 'know how to party and have a good time', making for a wonderful experience.

This is not the first time Glasgow has been used as a filming location for major productions. The city has previously doubled for Gotham City in Matt Reeves's 'The Batman' and is set to feature in the superhero film's sequel.
Stars and story
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' stars Tom Holland and Zendaya, who recently married and also portray a couple on screen. Mr Cretton described them as two of the best actors working today, noting their professionalism and ability to 'light up scenes'.
The film follows Peter Parker as he adapts to his life four years after the events of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'. In that earlier film, a spell caused the world to forget his identity, allowing him to protect the universe. The spell also erased his relationships with MJ, played by Zendaya, and his friend Ned Leeds, played by Jacob Batalon, leaving Peter to continue his crime-fighting alone while his friends attend university.
