PLA’s Mitchell Payne, 31, of Leeds, embraced his inner superhero, proving there may be a little truth behind Spider-Man’s famous wall-climbing abilities.
The stunt saw the superhero lookalike suspended high above shoppers as they carried out their regular cleaning of the landmark dome, which requires specialist rope-access cleaners to keep its glass sparkling throughout the year.
Steven Foster, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, said: “Our glass dome is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, so seeing Spider-Man on it certainly stopped people in their tracks. It’s a great visual moment and a fun way to celebrate the release of the new Spider-Man film later this month.
“Our window cleaning team do a great job year-round to keep the glass dome looking its brilliant best, but this week they excelled themselves, swinging into action for us like real-life superheroes.”
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is released in the UK on July 31 and will be shown at Trinity’s Everyman Cinema.
