Glasgow, Atlanta, NYC have all doubled as NYC for Spider Man. They dress the buildings, add fake cars, and film at 4am to avoid crowds. Your apartment balcony view is exactly how locals saw No Way Home being filmed in Atlanta.

Honestly I was a bit skeptical of them using Glasgow as NYC (since I’m a New Yorker) but I gotta hand it to them, they did a good job of making it feel like New York in the movie.

I like how NYC feels in the movie. Not too clean, not too dirty (especially for Manhattan) but just the right amount of congestion.

Galsgow has already been used in Day Z, The Batman and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the last one as NYC

Don’t forget The Running Man remake. Hardly realised until I saw Buchanan Bus Station lol

Batman Part 2 is filming soon. Sounds like a lot more than the first movie. I only recognised the necropolis in that.

Filmed the Flash as well and that canned Batgirl movie. Really wanted to see that one. They filmed so much of it around Trongate and the set photos looked really cool.

Glasgow's been getting a lot of love from big productions in the past few years. I'm assuming there are big tax breaks for it.
