Spider-Man 4: Production Status Revealed After Tom Holland Injury
After a brief injury delay for Tom Holland, cameras are set to roll again on Spider-Man 4, with Destin Daniel Cretton at the helm as Marvel and Sony steer Spider-Man: Brand New Day toward a July 2026 release.
Quick update from the Spider-verse: the new Spider-Man movie hit a brief bump after Tom Holland got dinged on set, but the cameras are about to start spinning again and the release date is still locked.
Filming pause and the restart plan
On Friday, September 19, 2025, Holland suffered a mild concussion while shooting a scene on the Spider-Man 4 set at Pinewood Studios. Production shut down as a precaution. No one else on the cast or crew was hurt.
Per Variety, the shoot is scheduled to resume on Monday, September 29, 2025. That short pause is not expected to affect the release date.
Holland is "recuperating out of an abundance of caution," according to a source close to the production.
Deadline adds that he was taken to the hospital, checked out, and released without being admitted after a stunt did not go as planned. Filming on the movie officially kicked off in August 2025.
So what is this Spider-Man, exactly?
This is Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' next Spidey outing, currently also being referred to as 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day.' Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is directing, and Tom Holland is back as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Plot details are under wraps. The movie is slated to arrive July 31, 2026 as part of Phase 6 of the MCU.
The cast they are talking about
- Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
- Zendaya as Michelle "MJ" Jones-Watson
- Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds
- Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher
- Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk
- Michael Mando as Mac Gargan/Scorpion (his first MCU appearance since 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming)
- Trammell Tillman (Severance) in an undisclosed role
- Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) in an undisclosed role
- Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) in an undisclosed role
A few inside-baseball notes
The 'Brand New Day' subtitle is a deep-cut comics title, which is a fun choice even if they are not explaining it yet. Also, if you are raising an eyebrow at Punisher and Hulk popping up in a Spider-Man sequel, you are not alone. And for those keeping score, the Scorpion thread from Homecoming is finally getting tugged again.
Bottom line: a roughly week-long stoppage after a mild concussion, Holland is recovering, and the film is still on track for July 31, 2026.
