Tom Holland was injured while filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Friday, leading to a temporary halt in production, Rolling Stone has confirmed. The actor sustained a mild concussion and will take a short break to recover as a precautionary measure.
Details on the Incident and Film Production Update
The specifics surrounding Holland’s injury remain undisclosed, and no other cast or crew members were harmed during the incident. Despite the pause, filming is expected to resume once Holland has recuperated. Holland appeared publicly on Saturday, hosting a Posh Pub Quiz event for The Brothers Trust, the charity he runs with his brothers Sam, Harry, and Paddy Holland. He attended alongside his fiancée and fellow Spider-Man co-star Zendaya at Christie’s auction house in London.
About the Upcoming Spider-Man Movie and Cast Involvement
Spider-Man: Brand New Day serves as the fourth installment in the Spider-Man series and is scheduled for theatrical release on July 31, 2026. Unlike the previous films directed by Jon Watts, this new chapter is helmed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Sony recently shared a behind-the-scenes video with Holland on set, marking his first time back as Spider-Man since 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Tom Holland Reflects on Returning as Spider-Man
In that video, Holland shared his thoughts on returning to the role:
“It’s day one, my fourth ever day one on Spider-Man. It’s funny, putting the suit on, it feels different this time, somehow. It’s also the first time we ever had fans on set day one, so it’s really exciting to share this with them,”
he said.
“We’ve got some familiar faces on set. I’m just going to do my best, hopefully get it right, no pressure.”
Implications of the Injury and What’s Next for Production
This injury introduces a cautious pause in filming, reflecting the production’s commitment to Holland’s health and safety. With movie release still over two years away, the temporary break is unlikely to affect the project’s schedule significantly. Fans and the team remain hopeful and determined as they await Holland’s full recovery and return to the Spider-Man role.
