Tom Holland suffered a mild concussion while filming a stunt for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, forcing him to temporarily step away from production as a precaution. The actor was taken to a hospital for evaluation, and filming was briefly paused while he recovered.

Reports indicated that the injury happened during a stunt, although specific details about the sequence were not publicly revealed. Holland’s concussion was described as mild, and no other cast or crew members were reported injured.

Following the accident, production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day was temporarily halted to allow him time to recover. Sources close to the production said the pause was expected to last only a short period, with filming scheduled to resume once the actor was cleared to return. The setback was not expected to affect the film’s planned theatrical release.

The injury also highlighted the physical demands of playing Peter Parker. Since joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War (2016), Holland has become known for performing many of his own stunts, often incorporating his background in gymnastics and dance into Spider-Man’s athletic movements. That commitment has helped create one of the most physically intense versions of the character on screen.

Despite the scare, he appeared to be recovering quickly after the incident. Reports noted that he was able to attend a charity event with Zendaya shortly after the injury, reinforcing that the concussion was being treated as a precautionary setback rather than a long-term concern.
