Tom Holland has suffered an injury on the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The upcoming installment in the superhero franchise has already generated buzz for its cast, Spider-Man’s updated suit, new locations, and ambition. Audiences eagerly await the next chapter, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day set to premiere on July 31, 2026.

As reported by ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, filming on the upcoming Spider-Man movie was halted after Holland was briefly hospitalized and treated for a mild concussion in Glasgow. Sources confirmed that no one else was affected during the incident, and, while Holland is expected to return to the set in a few days, there’s a meeting scheduled for tomorrow to adjust filming plans.

According to The Sun, Holland’s injury was the result of a stunt gone wrong. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film is a return to “old-school filmmaking,” with real locations and stunts.

As filming began in Scotland last month, Holland was reported to say he was “over the moon and so excited” to film on location after the past movie was filmed entirely on soundstages.

What This Means For Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Even before this incident, Brand New Day was shaping up to be a major entry in the Sony/Marvel Spider-Man roster. Its promise to return Peter Parker to his roots, facing street-level challenges, filming in real locations, and reconnecting with old allies, gave audiences hope for a grounding in Spider-Man’s character.

Holland’s injury underscores how dangerous and ambitious making movies of this calibre is. Stunts that combine practical effects with high-intensity action sequences demand precision and carry real risk, even with safety protocols in place. With this, audiences are reminded that superhero films aren’t just CGI spectacles, and actors like Holland risk injuries to deliver authenticity.

This kind of injury is not unprecedented in action-heavy production, but it does demand careful management, including shift scheduling, potential stunt redesigns, and ensuring not just Holland’s safety, but that of the entire stunt team.

Our Take On Tom Holland’s On-Set Injury

While it’s possible that Spider-Man: Brand New Day could face delays due to Holland’s injury, the most important factor is his health and full recovery. Pushing him back into filming too soon could risk long-term complications, and fans will surely understand a temporary pause.

While nothing has been confirmed, this could mean that the film’s release date could be pushed back, but prioritizing Holland’s well-being ensures that when the film does arrive, it meets the high standards audiences are expecting. Safety first is not just for protecting the star; it also preserves the quality and integrity of the film itself.
