Tom Holland has temporarily halted production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day following a head injury sustained on set in Glasgow, Scotland, on September 19. The actor, known for his role as Spider-Man, suffered a mild concussion during a stunt and is taking a cautious break from filming before expected to return in the coming days.

Reports describe Holland’s concussion as mild and stress that the filming hiatus is a precautionary measure to allow full recovery. Representatives for Holland have yet to provide official comments.
Reflecting on the new Spider-Man film, Holland expressed enthusiasm about the project, highlighting the opportunity to shoot extensively in outdoor locations versus the staged environments of previous productions. This approach aims to recapture the feeling of the original Spider-Man film made in 2017.
