Tom Holland has suffered a concussion on the set of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” leading Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios to put a pause on production.
An individual with knowledge of the accident said the lead star’s concussion was mild and that he will be resting “out of an abundance of caution.” After a meeting on Monday, Sony and Marvel have decided to pause shooting for a week and resume production on Sept. 29.
While details of how Holland was injured were not available, sources say that no one else was injured on set. Production on the film began in Scotland in August and the pause will not have an impact on the film’s release date next summer.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” will be the fourth “Spider-Man” film starring Holland as Peter Parker and his first appearance in the role since “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in 2021. Fueled by the movie’s crossover with past Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as well as past actors like Alfred Molina and Willem Dafoe, “No Way Home” became one of the highest grossing films in movie history with $1.9 billion worldwide.
Holland’s longtime co-stars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are also set to return in the film, alongside Marvel stalwart Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. The film hits theaters July 31.
UPDATE 9/22 – 1 PM PT: Story updated with resume date for production.
