Tom Holland Suffers Concussion on ‘Spider-Man’ Set, Takes Break From Filming

Tom Holland suffered an injury on the U.K. set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Friday, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Insiders described the injury as a mild concussion, and say Holland will be taking a break from filming for several days. Sony, which is behind the movie, will meet Monday to decide how to move forward with the production. Nobody else is said to have been injured. After the initial publication of this article, insiders noted that Holland and the production will take this week off, and are expected to return next week.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is perhaps the most important movie on Sony’s upcoming slate. The previous film, 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, stands as the studio’s highest-grossing movie of all time with $1.91 billion in ticket sales. The previous movie, Far From Home, became the first Spidey movie to top $1 billion, and was just Sony’s second, after James Bond pic Skyfall.

The film is also critical for the future of Marvel Studios, which co-produces the movie with Sony, as it is its only feature before December 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday arrives.

While Holland’s previous three Spider-Man films hailed from director Jon Watts, the new installment is from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton. It will pair Holland with Marvel mainstays Mark Ruffalo (the Hulk) and Jon Bernthal (the Punisher), with Spider-Man regulars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon returning. Spidey newcomers to the mix include Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink and Severance‘s Tramell Tillman, while Michael Mando is back as the Scorpion after a brief role in Holland’s first Spider-Man movie, 2017’s Homecoming.

Brand New Day has a release date of July 31, 2026.

Sept. 22, 1:48 p.m. Updated to note that Tom Holland will return to work next week.
