Tom Holland was hospitalized following an accident during a stunt for the upcoming Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, at Leavesden Studios in Watford, UK, on March 15, 2024. The incident reportedly occurred when Holland fell and sustained a head injury, resulting in a concussion. He was quickly attended to by emergency services and transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.
According to a spokesperson from the East of England Ambulance Service, they received a call at 10:30 a.m. regarding an injury at the film set. “An ambulance was sent to the scene, and the patient was transported to hospital for further care,” the spokesperson confirmed. Reports indicate that a female stunt double was also injured and taken to the hospital.
The filming of the estimated $300 million production has been temporarily suspended, with potential delays lasting several weeks as the cast and crew assess the situation. Following the incident, Holland attended a charity dinner in Mayfair the next evening alongside his father, Dominic, and fiancée, Zendaya. However, he left early due to feeling unwell, prompting concerns about his recovery.
Holland’s father later stated that the actor would be away from filming “for a while,” raising questions about the production schedule. The incident is likely to prompt an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive to ensure compliance with safety regulations on set.
Despite the setback, anticipation remains high for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is set to hit cinemas in July 2026. This film marks Holland’s fourth appearance in the iconic role, following his performances in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
The film will see Zendaya and Jacob Batalon reprising their roles, while Mark Ruffalo returns as Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk. The cast will include Jon Bernthal as the Punisher and Michael Mando as the Scorpion, promising a thrilling continuation of the Spider-Man saga.
In early January 2025, Holland and Zendaya’s engagement was confirmed when she debuted a diamond ring at the Golden Globes, marking a personal milestone amid his busy filming schedule. The focus now shifts to Holland’s recovery and the overall impact on the production timeline as fans eagerly await the next installment of the beloved franchise.
