Tom Holland suffered an injury on the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Friday at Leavesden Studios in Watford, England, prompting a halt in production. The actor, reprising his role as Peter Parker, sustained a mild concussion during a stunt, leading to hospitalization and concerns about the film’s shooting schedule.
Details of the Incident and Immediate Aftermath
The 29-year-old Holland fell and hit his head while performing a stunt, resulting in a concussion. He was quickly transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he received treatment before being discharged. Reports indicate that another individual, reportedly a stuntwoman, was also taken to the hospital for medical attention following the same incident.
In response, both Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have temporarily suspended production to evaluate the situation. English newspapers have revealed plans for a meeting scheduled shortly to discuss the future of filming, while the Health and Safety Executive is expected to investigate the circumstances of the accident due to its severity.
Expected Recovery Time and Impact on Filming
British media sources report that Dominic Holland, Tom’s father and a comedian, confirmed that his son will be away from filming for an unspecified period. Tom Holland attended a charity event in Mayfair with his fiancée Zendaya but left early reportedly feeling unwell, signaling the seriousness of his condition.
This injury presents a significant setback for Sony, which is relying heavily on the success of Brand New Day following the enormous success of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The previous film remains Sony’s highest-grossing release with $1.91 billion in global sales. Additionally, this movie is crucial for Marvel Studios as it is the only MCU film scheduled to release before the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday in December 2026.
Production Context and Cast Highlights
Unlike the earlier three Spider-Man films directed by Jon Watts, Brand New Day is helmed by Destin Daniel Cretton, known for his work on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The cast features returning stars such as Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, Zendaya as Michelle Jones, and Jacob Batalon. The film also introduces newcomers Sadie Sink and Tramell Tillman, while Michael Mando reprises his role as The Scorpion.
With the current pause in production at Leavesden Studios, the duration of Holland’s recovery remains uncertain, and no official updates have been provided regarding whether the scheduled July 31, 2026 release date will be delayed. Fans and industry watchers remain attentive to further announcements on how the studio plans to proceed.
