ALMOST 500 movie-goers flocked to Greenock’s Waterfront Cinema today to catch the newest instalment in the Spider-Man series.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released at cinemas across the country today following its premiere in London yesterday.

Starring Tom Holland in the lead role and Zendaya as MJ, several scenes for the film were shot in Glasgow last year.
