Any comic book fan knows that Spider-Man’s secret identity is Peter Parker, a science nerd who gained superhero powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. <\/p>\n
But in the latest installment from the Marvel cinematic universe, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Parker – played by Tom Holland – is not the only star in disguise. <\/p>\n
The action takes place in New York City but much of the movie, which premiered in London this week, was filmed more than 3,000 miles away in Glasgow.<\/p>\n
Filming almost brought the city centre to a halt last summer, when fans gathered to watch Holland in an action sequence in full superhero mode. <\/p>\n
It was the latest in a long line of Hollywood blockbusters<\/a> to have been filmed in the city in recent years. <\/p>\n And next month Glasgow is expected to double as Gotham City, when filming starts on the sequel to The Batman<\/a>. <\/a><\/p>\n Screen Scotland said the city’s Victorian architecture, wide avenues and grid layout make it an “incredibly versatile stand-in” for many US cities. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Any comic book fan knows that Spider-Man’s secret identity is Peter Parker, a science nerd who gained superhero…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":720474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-720473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/720474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
