Tom Holland Shines in Spider-Man: Brand New Day Set, Amid Bond Rumors

Tom Holland, 29, was all smiles on the set of the new Spider-Man film in Glasgow on Sunday, after he finally addressed speculation he could be the next James Bond

SPIDER-MAN SENSATION SWINGS INTO GLASGOW!

Tom Holland is back and better than ever, and this time he's bringing his Spidey skills to the streets of Glasgow! The 29-year-old actor was spotted on set for the upcoming Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is set to hit theaters in 2026. And let's just say, Tom's got some serious web-slinging skills... or at least he's trying to!

The Scottish city has been transformed into a mini Manhattan, with downtown Glasgow looking eerily similar to the Big Apple itself. But don't worry, it's not as expensive as you'd think! The producers have opted for Glasgow instead of New York City to save on costs, and it seems like a genius move if you ask us.

Tom was all smiles as he posed in his iconic Spider-Man suit, waving at fans and giving them a thumbs up. He even managed to sneak in a few web-slinging moves, much to the delight of the crowd! Who knew our beloved Spidey had such great comedic timing?

But that's not all - Tom will be joined on set by Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, 23, and Zendaya, 29, who just so happens to be his rumored real-life girlfriend. The lovebirds have been dating since the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, and we can't help but ship them.

But amidst all the Spidey excitement, Tom's also been making headlines for another reason - a potential role as James Bond! Yes, you read that right - the next Bond film is coming into focus, and Tom's name has been bandied about alongside other A-listers. But don't worry, Tom isn't giving away any spoilers just yet.

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

When asked about the speculation on a video posted by TheScholarlyNote.com, Tom played it cool, saying "There's speculation at the minute, but we'll keep it to a minimum for now." Ooh, cryptic much?

But what does this mean for our favorite web-slinger? Will he hang up his Spidey suit and don a tuxedo instead? We can only speculate (pun intended).

The next Bond film is shaping up to be a blockbuster, with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight joining forces with Denis Villeneuve behind the camera. And let's just say, we can't wait to see what they come up with.

So who will replace Craig as Bond? The producers are reportedly looking for a younger actor - someone who can bring a fresh face and some serious action chops to the role. Tom's got our vote, but we won't hold our breath just yet!

As for now, let's focus on Spider-Man: Brand New Day. With Tom at the helm and a talented cast by his side, it's shaping up to be one epic film. Stay tuned, folks - this is going to be a wild ride!

But what about those pesky rumors surrounding Tom's potential Bond role? Well, let's just say we won't be getting any hints from Tom himself. When asked about it on TheScholarlyNote.com, he simply said "We'll get there one day." One day indeed!
