Fears over Spider-Man filming facing major disruption amid Storm Floris

PRODUCTION for the new Spider-Man film, Brand New Day, has been suspended due to Storm Floris.

It comes after crew members in Glasgow voiced concerns over potential set damage and delays as the storm moved inland from the Atlantic.

An insider told the Scottish Sun: “There’s talk it will be suspended because of the high winds and storm.

“Some parts of the set have already been blown over, but we’ll need to wait and see what happens.

"You can’t really have people hanging from things when there are strong winds.”

The film, which is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and features Holland in the titular role alongside Zendaya (MJ), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds) and Jon Bernthal (The Punisher) picks up after the dramatic conclusion of No Way Home, where Peter Parker sacrificed his identity to save those he loves.

Liza Colón-Zayas and Stranger Things' Sadie Sink are also rumoured to be part of the cast.

The movie is filming across the city, with Bothwell Street being transformed into New York City.

Filming for the movie began on August 1 and will continue for two weeks, concluding around August 16. 

Several yellow cabs, including one where crews were setting up for a crash scene, were spotted on Bothwell Street. 

There are several other vehicles, including an FDNY car, NYPD cars, a New York City Bus, a United States Postal Service van, and a tank, parked along the street. 

There are also street signs and American flags hanging on buildings.
