The mention comes with Glasgow streets transformed into New York City and awash with America flags and regalia for the shooting of the flick.
It's believed a major scene involving the 1969 ticker tape parade for astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins after they landed on the moon, will be filmed on the our city's streets.
While it is not yet known if Ford or any of his co-stars - including Mads Mikkelsen - will appear in Glasgow, director James Mangold was today pictured walking through the city centre.
