Tom Holland has suffered a mild concussion while filming his return as the beloved webslinger in the upcoming film “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”, prompting a brief halt in production.
Tom Holland Suffers Concussion on Spider-Man Set
The incident took place on Friday during a stunt sequence on the Glasgow set of the highly anticipated Marvel-Sony production. While the injury is not considered serious, the 27-year-old actor will be stepping back from filming for a few days as a precaution.
Sony and Marvel Studios are expected to meet on Monday to reassess filming schedules and finalise next steps. Fortunately, no other cast or crew members were hurt during the incident.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” began production in Glasgow in early August, and it’s set to release in theatres next year on July 31.
Behind the Scenes: Day One and a New Spidey Suit
Just last month, fans got a sneak peek of Holland back in action via a behind-the-scenes video shared by Sony. Sporting a fresh version of the Spidey suit, Holland appeared upbeat and nostalgic as he stepped into the role again – his first time since 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
“It’s day one, my fourth ever day one on ‘Spider-Man’. It’s funny, putting the suit on, it feels different this time, somehow. It’s also the first time we ever had fans on set day one, so it’s really exciting to share this with them.
We’ve got some familiar faces on set. I’m just going to do my best, hopefully get it right, no pressure,” Holland said in the video. The mention of “familiar faces” turned out to be quite the understatement.
Star-Studded Cast Brings MCU Firepower
Returning alongside Holland are fan favourites Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, both reprising their respective roles. But this time, the ensemble is growing even bigger.
Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Brand New Day are:
- Liza Colon-Zayas (The Bear)
- Tramell Tillman (Severance, Emmy winner)
- Sadie Sink (Stranger Things standout)
- Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk
- Jon Bernthal is returning as The Punisher
- Michael Mando is back as The Scorpion from Spider-Man: Homecoming
With such a loaded cast, Brand New Day is shaping up to be more than just a sequel — it’s becoming an MCU event.
