Tom Holland Suffers On-Set Concussion, Bringing Spider-Man: Brand New Day to a Screeching Halt

Tom Holland took a real hit on the Spider-Man: Brand New Day set, landed in the hospital, and production pumped the brakes. He is okay enough to show up at a charity event days later, so this looks more like a scare than a shutdown. Here is how it unfolded and what it means for the movie.

"Now, we are really gonna lean into that old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we are starting in Glasgow and we are gonna use the streets of Glasgow to build this massive set-piece we are putting together... it is gonna feel like making Spider-Man 1 again."

What actually happened (and what is next)

• On Friday, September 19, Holland sustained a mild concussion while filming in Glasgow. Production paused for a few days out of precaution.
• Details are thin, but The Sun says it stemmed from a stunt going sideways. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.
• No other cast or crew were hurt, and the team held a production meeting to reshuffle the schedule.
• Holland’s rep has not commented. He is expected back on set shortly, though his dad, Dominic Holland, told reporters at a weekend charity dinner that Tom would be away from set "for a while."
• Speaking of that charity event: Holland attended with fiancee Zendaya, which at least suggests he is not on strict bed rest.
• The movie itself: Sony has Spider-Man: Brand New Day dated for July 31, 2026. Destin Daniel Cretton is directing, with Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige producing.
• Zendaya is back as MJ, joined by Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas.
• Despite the pause, the expectation is the delay lasts only a few days and the film stays on schedule.

Inside baseball angle: Glasgow has become a go-to stand-in for New York when Marvel wants big practical sequences. That is great for realism, less great for risk-free stunts. Still, on a production this size, a short precautionary pause is standard. First tipped by Vritti Johar at SuperHeroHype.
