Production of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has been temporarily paused after the film’s star, Tom Holland, was injured on set in the UK.

According to Deadline and multiple outlets, the 29-year-old was rushed to the hospital on Sept. 19 after sustaining a mild concussion while filming a stunt gone wrong.

Although he was not admitted to the hospital, Holland is taking the time off as an abundance of caution and is expected to return to work on Sept. 29.

No other cast or crew members were injured during the incident, which took place at Pinewood Studios outside of London.

Holland is reprising his role as Peter Parker in the fourth installment of the Marvel franchise, scheduled for release in July 2026. His injury is not expected to impact the anticipated release date.

The film, which is co-produced by Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, kicked off production last month, with Holland documenting his first day behind the scenes.
“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,” Holland said in the Instagram video.

“It’s also the first time we ever had fans on set for 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.”

Actors Zendaya and Jacob Batalon return to their roles as “MJ” and “Ned,” along with Marvel regulars Mark Ruffalo as superhero “The Hulk” and Jon Bernthal as “The Punisher” antihero.

Meanwhile, production locations are split between London and Glasgow, Scotland, with Holland previously describing the film’s plot as a fresh start.

“The idea is crazy,” he teased to Good Morning America last year. “It’s a little different to anything we’ve done before, but I think the fans are gonna really respond to it.”

$3.9 Billion at Box Office Over

Holland starred in the first three films: “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which made a combined global box office total of over $3.9 billion.

Production for “No Way Home” saw limitations to practical effects and stunts as it was filmed between 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This time around, Holland is excited for a visual refresh, combining an action-packed spectacle with emotional stakes for fans to enjoy.

“We’re really gonna lean into that old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations,” Holland said in an interview with “Flip Your Wig” in July.

“Which is why we’re starting in Glasgow and we’re gonna use the streets of Glasgow to build this massive set-piece that we’re putting together. So it’s gonna feel like making Spider-Man 1 again.”
