Fez – British actor Tom Holland sustained a serious head injury while filming a stunt scene for the upcoming film “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” prompting an immediate production halt, according to media reports.
The incident occurred Friday during a high-intensity scene shoot in Glasgow. Holland, known for performing his own stunts, was injured due to what insiders described as a technical mishap, which caused the actor to fall and suffer a concussion.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital and is now recovering.
“$150 Million” blockbuster delayed
The untitled fourth installment in the Marvel franchise was being filmed under a working title with an estimated production budget of £150 million. With shooting now temporarily suspended, insiders suggest the delay could disrupt the film’s previously scheduled release timeline.
Deadline cited sources close to the production which said that Holland will be taking several days off as a precaution before returning to set.
Fans and industry react
Holland’s name quickly trended on social media following the news, with fans and fellow actors posting messages of support and wishing him a speedy recovery. Hollywood colleagues praised his dedication to performing physically demanding scenes himself.
Concerns over on-set safety
The accident has reignited debate around on-set safety in high-budget productions, especially in action-heavy franchises like Marvel’s “Spider-Man.” While studios often employ stunt doubles and rigorous precautions, Holland is known for opting to perform many of his own stunts, which has raised concerns among crew members and fans alike.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is set to introduce new characters and storylines into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making it one of the most anticipated films of the coming year. With its production currently on pause, questions remain about how this delay might impact the broader MCU timeline.
No official statement yet
As of Monday morning, neither Marvel Studios nor the film’s production company issued an official statement on Holland’s health status or the expected timeline for his return. However, media speculation continues around whether the release date may be adjusted.
