On-Set Incident and Recovery
Tom Holland was hospitalized on Friday after an on-set accident during the filming of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" in Glasgow. Reports indicate that the injury occurred during a stunt that went awry, leading to the actor hitting his head and sustaining a mild concussion. Following the incident, filming was immediately suspended, and Holland was taken to the hospital for treatment.
A source close to the production stated that Holland will take a brief break as a precaution but is anticipated to return to filming within a few days. Despite the setback, Holland was reportedly seen attending a charity event with his fiancée and co-star Zendaya the following day, though he is said to have left early due to feeling unwell.
Production Adjustments and Future Plans
Sony Pictures Entertainment, co-producing the film with Marvel Studios, is scheduled to hold meetings to adjust filming plans in light of the incident. The production, which began in Glasgow last month, aims to embrace "old-school filmmaking" by utilizing real-life locations, a departure from the soundstage-heavy production of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is slated for release on July 24, 2026. The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and will see Zendaya reprising her role as MJ, alongside new cast members Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas in undisclosed roles. The title itself signifies a fresh start for the franchise, referencing a 2008 comic storyline.
