Tom Holland’s Concussion Pauses ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Filming, Sony, Marvel Respond

Tom Holland, while filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day in the U.K., sustained a minor concussion and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the incident. The injury will cause him to pause filming for several days. On Monday, the movie’s Sony production team will discuss how this impacts the production schedule. The upcoming Spider-Man film holds significant importance for Sony and Marvel Studios.

– Tom Holland sustained a mild concussion on the U.K. set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, causing a temporary halt in filming.
– The incident has prompted a meeting at Sony to assess the next steps for the movie’s production.
– The film, critical for both Sony and Marvel Studios, features a star-studded cast including Mark Ruffalo and Jon Bernthal, and is set for release on July 31, 2026.

Tom Holland experienced a mishap on the British set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day last Friday, as substantiated by The Hollywood Reporter. An injury, thought to be a mild concussion, will keep Holland off the set for a couple of days.

Those close to the issue indicated that Sony, the company behind the movie, would hold a meeting on the following Monday to discuss the course of action in progressing with the project. No other member of the cast or crew reportedly sustained any injuries.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is potentially the most crucial movie in Sony’s future lineup. Its predecessor, Spider-Man: No Way Home released in 2021, holds the record for being Sony’s top-grossing movie, amassing $1.91 billion. The movie before that, Far From Home, marked the first Spider-Man movie to cross the $1 billion threshold, and was the second movie overall by Sony, after the James Bond film Skyfall, to achieve this milestone.

Of equal significance is how this film impacts Marvel Studios. In collaboration with Sony, they co-produce the movie. It is their only production until Avengers: Doomsday, slated for a December 2026 release.

The new Spider-Man film comes from Destin Daniel Cretton, taking over the directorial reigns from Jon Watts who directed the previous three Spider-Man movies featuring Holland. Alongside Holland, the movie features Marvel veterans Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) and Jon Bernthal (The Punisher). Favorites like Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are reprising their roles. Sadie Sink from Stranger Things and Tramell Tillman from Severance are new additions, whereas Michael Mando reprises his role as The Scorpion, which he first portrayed in Holland’s inaugural Spider-Man film, 2017’s Homecoming.

The expected release date for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is July 31, 2026.
