Multiple sources say Tom Holland suffered a mild concussion during filming of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." The incident occurred on Friday on the Pinewood Studios set outside London.
While Holland was taken to the hospital for evaluation, he was not admitted and is said to be recovering comfortably. It's being reported that the accident happened during a stunt sequence that went wrong, though details about the stunt itself remain under wraps. No other cast or crew members were injured in the incident.
As Holland recovers, filming on "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" will pause for roughly one week, with shooting expected to resume on September 29. Insiders stress that the delay will not impact the film's planned theatrical release date of July 31, 2026.
Contrary to speculation that the accident took place in Scotland, sources confirmed that the production has been based primarily at Pinewood throughout September.
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" marks the fourth solo Spider-Man film starring Holland, 29, and the first since the record-breaking "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in 2021. Holland has previously described returning to the role as a refreshing experience, saying, "It's been such a long time that I've done it that it's going to feel like a breath of fresh air. I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we're putting together."
Destin Daniel Cretton, best known for directing Marvel's "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", is helming the project. Producers include longtime "Spider-Man" steward Amy Pascal and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Returning cast members include Zendaya as MJ, while new additions Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas have joined in undisclosed roles. Mark Ruffalo is also expected to reprise his role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk.
Holland's "Spider-Man" films have proven to be one of Sony Pictures' most lucrative collaborations with Disney's Marvel Studios. Since "Spider-Man: Homecoming" debuted in 2017, the trilogy has grossed an impressive $3.93 billion worldwide. Thanks to Sony's ownership of the "Spider-Man" film rights, the studio has struck a unique arrangement allowing Holland's version of the hero to appear in Disney's MCU while incorporating major Marvel characters into its own films, including Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange.
The previous entry, "Spider-Man: No Way Home", remains Sony's highest-grossing movie of all time with $2.05 billion globally. Released in December 2021 as theaters were rebounding from pandemic shutdowns, the film drew massive audiences back to cinemas, opening to $260.1 million domestically-the second-highest North American debut ever-and $600.5 million worldwide in its first weekend, the third-best global opening of all time.
