Tom Holland will be taking a week off from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day after suffering an injury on set Friday.
Sony met on Monday to work out a plan to resume filming, and determined the production will shut down for one week rather than attempt to shoot without Holland. It is not expected to impact the film’s July 31, 2026 release date.
As for Holland, his injury was described as a mild concussion, and he is taking a break out of an abundance of caution, insiders say. The actor was able to attend a charity event on Saturday for The Brothers Trust, which he runs with his brothers.
Destin Daniel Cretton is directing Brand New Day, after working with Marvel Studios on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and the upcoming Wonder Man TV show. Spider-Man regulars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon return as MJ and Ned, respectively, while Marvel heavy hitters Mark Ruffalo (the Hulk) and Jon Bernthal (the Punisher) are among the cast. They’ll be joined by Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink and Severance‘s Tramell Tillman, along with Better Call Saul star Michael Mando, reprising his role as villain The Scorpion from 2017’s Homecoming.
Marvel Studios is co-producing the film with Sony, as has with Holland’s three other Spider-Man films. Holland’s trilogy has been lucrative for Sony, with 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home its highest-grossing movie of all time with $1.91 billion. 2019’s Far From Home became the first Spider-Man movie to top $1 billion.
