‘Spider-Man’ Star Tom Holland Hospitalized Following Brutal Accident on New Movie Set
Tom Holland, the beloved actor known for his role as Spider-Man, has reportedly been hospitalized after suffering a concussion on the set of the upcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day . The incident occurred during a stunt at Leavesden Studios in Watford, England, prompting Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures to halt production temporarily.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, the 29-year-old actor “cracked his head” after a fall during filming on Friday. Fortunately, Holland was the only individual injured in the incident, and he was treated for a mild concussion. Following the accident, he has been advised to take a break from filming for several days to recover. Sony Pictures is expected to meet on Monday to discuss the filming schedule moving forward.
Just a day after the incident, Holland made a rare public appearance alongside his fiancée and co-star, Zendaya, at Christie’s auction house in London. The couple, who got engaged late last year, attended the event where Holland hosted a Posh Pub Quiz to benefit the Brothers Trust, a charity he runs with his three brothers. The couple posed for photos, with Holland dressed in a black suit and bow tie, while Zendaya dazzled in a stunning black dress.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day began filming in Glasgow, Scotland, on August 1, marking Holland’s fourth standalone appearance as the iconic web-slinger. The film is set to bridge the storyline between 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday . Holland had previously teased his new costume and the film’s release date, which is slated for July 31, 2026.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film will see Holland reprise his role as Peter Parker, with Zendaya returning as his love interest, Michelle “MJ” Jones. The cast also includes Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, and Michael Mando as the Scorpion. Additionally, Stranger Things star Sadie Sink and The Bear actress Liza Colón-Zayas have been confirmed to join the ensemble.
Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, recently shared insights about the direction of the fourth Spider-Man film. He emphasized the theme of Holland’s character becoming a “proper Spider-Man,” focusing on street-level crime rather than world-ending events. Feige noted the emotional weight of Peter Parker being forgotten by those closest to him, setting the stage for a more grounded exploration of the character.
As Holland recovers from his injury, fans eagerly await updates on Spider-Man: Brand New Day . The film promises to deliver a fresh take on the beloved superhero, and with a talented cast and creative team behind it, anticipation continues to build for its release in 2026. The incident serves as a reminder of the physical demands placed on actors in the action genre, and the industry will be watching closely as Holland makes his return to the set.
