If, like me, you have been following Tom Holland’s journey as Spider-Man since he started making waves for giving spoilers in press interviews, you cannot wait for the newest installment of the MCU series, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”
To catch you up, Peter Parker (Holland) has been defending a New York City that no longer knows his name for the last four years due to the repercussions of the last movie. This includes his friend Nate (Jacob Batalon) and girlfriend MJ (Zendaya).

For those stationed in or traveling to the U.K., you can immerse yourself in the world of Spider-Man by taking a trip to Glasgow, Scotland, which for filming purposes, stood in for Spider-Man’s hometown New York City.
Here are just a few stops you can make in Glasgow’s city center that you can spot in the trailer for the upcoming film as well as rumored spottings.
Bothwell Street | Spider-Man was seen swinging past the Aurora office building
St Vincent Street | The Drum and Monkey and Topolabamba flash on screen
Oak Street | Through Richard Street as well as the service tunnel under Anderson Shopping Centre are rumored from local residents who received notices about closures
Waterloo Street | Also rumored from local residents who received notices about closures
Of course, as an audience we will have to wait until the entire film is released to spot more Glasgow Easter eggs.

This is not the first time that Glasgow has stood in for New York City. It has “portrayed” the city in other films such as “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and “World War Z.” In fact, Glasgow has an extensive acting resume for doubling as other cities; it has also doubled as the fictional Gotham City for “The Batman” and “The Flash.”
