Glasgow road closures for The Batman Part II and Spider‑Man filming
Glasgow city will implement extensive road closures to accommodate the production of two major Hollywood movies. Filming for "The Batman: Part II" begins on 18 August 2026 and is expected to continue for about three weeks, with restrictions affecting streets such as Bothwell Street, Wellington Street, Newton Street, North Street, and the National Cycle Network along the River Clyde. The city’s traffic management plan lists phased closures from early August through late September, covering additional routes and prohibiting loading, unloading, or stopping on many streets.
Earlier in August, the Marvel film "Spider‑Man: Brand New Day" also shot scenes in the city centre, prompting significant congestion and public complaints. Actor Tom Holland and director Destin Daniel Cretton were seen interacting with crowds, and local residents reported traffic jams while watching the superhero stunts.
