Tom Holland has been hospitalized after sustaining a mild concussion in a stunt gone wrong on the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, sources confirm. The incident has prompted production to pause temporarily as both Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures assess how to proceed. This breaking news is being amplified by major media outlets and trending in entertainment coverage—making it the most visible update for anyone following his upcoming film.
What happened
On Friday, September 19, 2025, while filming a stunt at Leavesden Studios in Watford, England, Holland reportedly fell and struck his head.
He was immediately taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a mild concussion.
Only Holland is confirmed as injured; reports indicate no one else on set was harmed.
Immediate aftermath and response
Production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been suspended for several days as a precaution.
It is expected that Holland will return to the set once cleared to do so—though precisely when remains unclear.
At a charity event the next day, Holland was present but reportedly left early due to feeling unwell. His father, Dominic Holland, confirmed his son will be off set “for a while.”
Film, cast & production context
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is Holland’s fourth film playing Peter Parker, following Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Far From Home (2019), and No Way Home (2021).
The film features returning cast members Zendaya (MJ), Jacob Batalon (Ned), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner / Hulk), Jon Bernthal, and Michael Mando. New additions include Liza Colón-Zayas, Tramell Tillman, and Sadie Sink. Release has been set for July 31, 2026.
Production had been underway in the UK (including Leavesden Studios) and Glasgow. This stunt incident at Leavesden is among the more serious physical mishaps Holland has had while performing stunts.
What this means going forward
The studio (Sony/Marvel) is holding meetings to decide how to adjust schedules, shooting plans, and safety protocols as necessary.
While “mild concussion” suggests his condition is stable, concussion injuries can vary in recovery time, particularly for high-intensity physical work.
Filming delays may affect budget, release preparation, and possibly stunt sequences, depending on Holland’s recovery and what adjustments the production team chooses.
Reactions and fan response
Fans and media have expressed concern over Holland’s well-being, recalling his past injuries. Holland’s presence at the charity event soon after the injury sent mixed signals: reassuring to some, worrying to others when he left early due to feeling unwell.
Industry insiders are watching closely to see how this incident might influence decisions about whether Holland does more of his own stunts or whether stunt doubles will be used more heavily going forward.
