But Tom Holland<\/a> swapped the New York skyline for Glasgow<\/a>\u2019s when he swung in for a superhero\u2019s welcome yesterday.<\/p>\n

The British actor, 29, even unveiled his new Spidey suit ahead of filming the next chapter in the blockbuster franchise, Brand New Day \u2013 and gave one happy young fan a lift up.<\/p>\n

Tom\u2019s latest outing is due for release here next summer, with Mark Ruffalo returning as the Hulk.<\/p>\n

It is not known whether Holland\u2019s real-life fianc\u00e9e Zendaya<\/a>, 28, will return as Peter Parker\u2019s girlfriend MJ.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Off-screen, their wedding plans have been put on ice, according to Zendaya\u2019s stylist Law Roach, as the actress films Dune: Part Three and other projects<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He’s still your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. But Tom Holland swapped the New York skyline for Glasgow\u2019s when he swung in for a superhero\u2019s welcome yesterday<\/p>\n

The British actor, 29, even unveiled his new Spidey suit ahead of filming the next chapter in the blockbuster franchise, Brand New Day \u2013 and gave one happy young fan a lift up<\/p>\n

She and Holland are also set to appear together in The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan\u2019s adaptation of Homer\u2019s epic.<\/p>\n

Tom’s appearance in Glasgow comes amid a very busy time for the actor after he was named the new face of Prada’s\u00a0Paradigme Fragrance\u00a0\u2014 and posed with some adorable puppies to promote it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also recently\u00a0addressed speculation that he could be stepping into the shoes of James Bond.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom’s name has been bandied about along with other high-profile stars as a potential new star of the James Bond franchise.<\/a><\/p>\n

But Tom Holland didn’t give any hints about the speculation when he was asked about it in a video posted Thursday.<\/p>\n

A screenwriter for the highly anticipated film was also announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

While joining chef Gordon Ramsay on his YouTube channel to make fried chicken sandwiches and promote his non-alcoholic beer brand, Tom acknowledged the ‘speculation’ swirling around him.<\/p>\n

‘Listen, there’s speculation at the minute. We\u2019ll keep it to a minimum for now,’ he said with a sheepish grin. ‘We’ll get there one day.’<\/p>\n

\"Glasgow <\/p>\n

Glasgow has been transformed into downtown New York for filming after becoming an alternate (and cheaper) option to the Big Apple itself<\/p>\n

\"It <\/p>\n

It comes after Tom recently addressed speculation that he could be stepping into the shoes of James Bond (Daniel Craig is pictured in the role)<\/p>\n

\"Tom's \"The <\/p>\n

Tom’s appearance in Glasgow comes amid a very busy time for the actor after he was named the new face of Prada’s Paradigme Fragrance \u2014 and posed with some adorable puppies to promote it<\/p>\n

‘Every young British actor, it\u2019s the pinnacle of working in our industry,’ Tom continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I’ve had.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next Bond film is coming into focus after the announcement on Friday that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight would be joining Villeneuve behind the camera<\/a> to write the next James Bond film.<\/p>\n

While speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, Knight said: ‘It has always been on my bucket list and it’s fantastic to be invited to do it \u2014 I can’t wait to get started.’<\/p>\n

The movie will be overseen by Amazon MGM Studios, after producer Barbara Broccoli gave up creative control of the Bond franchise.<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though the creative team is falling into place for the next Bond film<\/a>, there haven’t been any indications of who will replace Craig \u2014 or which actors are being considered.<\/p>\n

The producers are reportedly looking for a considerably younger actor to take over the role after Craig \u2014 who is 57 \u2014 presented a more weathered, mortality-focused version of the beloved character.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He’s still your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.\u00a0 But Tom Holland swapped the New York skyline for Glasgow\u2019s when he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315999,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,92,918,4884,627,4447,712,2780,813,16,15,24809],"class_list":{"0":"post-315998","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-glasgow","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-james-bond","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-scotland","15":"tag-tom-holland","16":"tag-tvshowbiz","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-zendaya"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114967983886558535","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
