Tom Holland, the star of the Spider-Man franchise, was hospitalized after sustaining an injury on the set of his upcoming movie, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. The incident occurred during filming in the United Kingdom, leading to a temporary halt in production.

While some reports indicated the accident occurred at Leavesden Studios in Watford, others claimed it happened in Glasgow, Scotland. Initial reports stated that the injury stemmed from a failed stunt, causing Holland to hit his head. The East of England Ambulance Service confirmed they responded to an incident at Leavesden Studios. Initial reports also cited The Sun, reporting an ambulance took him to the hospital along with a stunt double.
Production Status and Recovery
Dominic Holland, Tom's father, confirmed the incident to the press, mentioning that his son would be "out of the set for a while." However, sources suggest that Tom Holland is expected to return to filming in a few days. Sony Pictures, the distributor of the film, is scheduled to hold a meeting to discuss the next steps in the production process. Despite the mishap, the film's release date is still projected for July 31, 2026.
Despite his injury, Holland attended a charity event in London with his fiancée, Zendaya, on the weekend following the accident. He reportedly left early due to discomfort.
Concerns and Considerations
The incident has sparked discussions about the physical demands placed on actors in action-heavy films, particularly those who perform their own stunts. Holland has been known to do many of his own stunts, emphasizing his commitment to authenticity. There are renewed calls to examine safety protocols in the movie industry. Fans and colleagues have expressed their support for Holland and wished him a speedy recovery. The actor has not yet addressed the incident publicly on social media.
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day': What to Expect
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is the fourth solo film starring Holland as Peter Parker, following 'Homecoming' (2017), 'Far From Home' (2019), and 'No Way Home' (2021). The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, with Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige producing. While plot details remain scarce, the film is expected to build upon the events of 'No Way Home', potentially featuring a more mature and independent Peter Parker.
Alongside Holland and potentially Zendaya reprising her role as MJ, reports have suggested potential new cast additions such as Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas. Jackie Chan and his team are rumored to be working on the action choreography.
