He’s still your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.
But Tom Holland swapped the New York skyline for Glasgow’s when he swung in for a superhero’s welcome yesterday.
The British actor, 29, even unveiled his new Spidey suit ahead of filming the next chapter in the blockbuster franchise, Brand New Day – and gave one happy young fan a lift up.
Tom’s latest outing is due for release here next summer, with Mark Ruffalo returning as the Hulk.
It is not known whether Holland’s real-life fiancée Zendaya, 28, will return as Peter Parker’s girlfriend MJ.
Off-screen, their wedding plans have been put on ice, according to Zendaya’s stylist Law Roach, as the actress films Dune: Part Three and other projects.

She and Holland are also set to appear together in The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic.
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 — and posed with some adorable puppies to promote it.
He also recently addressed speculation that he could be stepping into the shoes of James Bond.
Tom’s name has been bandied about along with other high-profile stars as a potential new star of the James Bond franchise.
But Tom Holland didn’t give any hints about the speculation when he was asked about it in a video posted Thursday.
A screenwriter for the highly anticipated film was also announced on Friday.
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.
‘Listen, there’s speculation at the minute. We’ll keep it to a minimum for now,’ he said with a sheepish grin. ‘We’ll get there one day.’

‘Every young British actor, it’s the pinnacle of working in our industry,’ Tom continued.
‘I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I’ve had.’
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 to write the next James Bond film.
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 — I can’t wait to get started.’
The movie will be overseen by Amazon MGM Studios, after producer Barbara Broccoli gave up creative control of the Bond franchise.
Even though the creative team is falling into place for the next Bond film, there haven’t been any indications of who will replace Craig — or which actors are being considered.
The producers are reportedly looking for a considerably younger actor to take over the role after Craig — who is 57 — presented a more weathered, mortality-focused version of the beloved character.
