Filming Halted on ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ After Tom Holland Sustains Concussion

Production on the highly anticipated Marvel film Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been temporarily suspended after lead actor Tom Holland suffered a mild concussion on set. The 29-year-old actor, who reprises his role as Peter Parker, was injured during a stunt while filming in the UK, according to multiple entertainment reports.

The incident occurred on a Friday, reportedly at Leavesden Studios in Watford. Details surrounding the precise nature of the accident are scarce, but sources confirm the injury happened during an action sequence. Holland was reportedly taken to a hospital for treatment and has been advised to take a few days off for recovery. While the injury is described as a mild concussion, the decision to halt filming was made as a precaution to ensure Holland’s full recovery before he returns to the demanding physical role.

This on-set setback comes just weeks after filming for the fourth installment in Holland’s Spider-Man franchise began in early August. The project, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), has been a subject of immense fan excitement, especially since its title was revealed to be a direct nod to a popular comic book storyline. The film is set to pick up after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where a global spell caused everyone to forget Peter Parker’s existence, leaving him to start a new life.

Holland has been vocal about his increased creative input on this new film, expressing a desire to incorporate fan feedback and focus on a more street-level, grounded take on the character. The production has been notable for its “old-school filmmaking” approach, with a significant amount of location shooting, including scenes filmed in Glasgow, Scotland, which Holland had enthusiastically spoken about.

Both Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, co-producing the film, are expected to meet to assess the situation and adjust the production schedule. The studios have not yet released an official statement, but the top priority is clear: Holland’s well-being. No other cast or crew members were reported to have been injured during the incident.

The film, which also sees the return of franchise regulars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, and introduces new cast members like Sadie Sink, is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on July 31, 2026. While the temporary pause may cause a slight shift in the production timeline, sources familiar with the project remain optimistic that the release date will not be significantly impacted. Fans and industry insiders alike are now eagerly awaiting updates on the actor’s condition and the resumption of filming for what promises to be a pivotal chapter in the cinematic Spider-Man saga.
