The truth behind Tom Holland’s concussion during the filming of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been clarified by the actor’s father, dispelling many inaccurate reports circulating online. Contrary to earlier stories, the injury was mild, and no ambulance was involved in transporting Holland or any crew member to a hospital.
Clarifying the Details of Tom Holland’s Injury
Recent headlines reported that Tom Holland suffered a concussion on set and required hospital care alongside a crew member. However, these accounts have been corrected by The Brothers Trust, a charity run by Holland’s parents, who explained the facts as they unfolded. While Holland did sustain a mild concussion, there was no ambulance, no ride to a hospital, and no other injuries to anyone else on the production team during the incident.
Reading the stories in the media of Tom’s ‘horrendous injury’ – brought to mind the adage that one should never believe what is written in the newspapers. They had almost everything wrong, citing an ambulance driver who had picked up the ‘stricken star’ from Leavesden Film Studios in North London.

Er…There was no ambulance, and Spider-Man Brand New Day is not being filmed at Leavesden Studio. Perhaps this mystery ambulance driver had a concussion also. ‘A mystery woman was also injured in the accident…’ Nope.

Recovery and Impact on Spider-Man: Brand New Day Filming
According to the family’s statement, Holland noticed symptoms of his concussion while attending a charity event, and he left early to seek rest. His recovery has been steady, with no severe effects reported, allowing production on the highly anticipated Spider-Man movie to continue with minimal delays. The film is scheduled for release on July 31, 2026, and this update ensures fans remain assured about Holland’s health and the project’s timeline.
The misinformation highlights how even major news outlets can sometimes distort facts, causing unnecessary concern. Holland’s mild concussion appears unlikely to derail the film’s progress, and audiences can expect to see him back in action soon within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
