Glasgow's economy was boosted by a record £42.4m last year thanks to hosting massive film and broadcast productions. The Flash, the fifth Indiana Jones film, Tetris and Man & Witch were amongst the big movies shot in the city in 2021.

These aren't the first big productions to have been filmed in the City's streets in recent years, World War Z , Under the Skin , Outlaw King, Hobbs & Shaw , Outlander and Succession, also used Glasgow as part of their productions.

The economic impact of the sector in 2021 does not include the figure being made by the ongoing production of Batgirl – the first major film production to be entirely based in the city - which will be included in the 2022 total for the city, reports Glasgow Live.

The development of the Kelvin Hall Film & Studio Hub - to be completed in late summer - will further drive the development of the film and broadcast industry in Glasgow, becoming the Scottish hub for major TV broadcasters and production companies.It will help meet the growing demand for TV shows in the city and country, providing studio space and post-production services to companies including the BBC, ITV, STV, Sky, Channel 4 and Netflix.In addition, the Hub is expected to create and maintain new and existing local jobs in the industry and support the development of a skilled and diverse workforce.
