Tom Holland Rushed to Hospital After Spider-Man Stunt Accident
Watford, UK — Actor Tom Holland has been rushed to hospital after suffering an on-set injury while filming the upcoming Marvel blockbuster, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The accident has left fans around the world deeply concerned for the beloved star.
On-Set Accident at Leavesden Studios
The incident occurred on September 19 at Leavesden Studios in Watford, England, where parts of the highly anticipated film are being shot. According to reports, Holland suffered a head injury in a fall during a stunt sequence. Medical staff treated him for a concussion before he was transported to hospital for further care.
An East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson confirmed the emergency response:
“We were called at 10:30 a.m. on Friday to attend to a patient who had sustained an injury at Leavesden Studios. An ambulance was sent to the scene, and the patient was transported to hospital for further care.”
Filming was immediately suspended following the accident.
Family and Zendaya by His Side
At a charity dinner later that evening, Holland’s father, comedian Dominic Holland, told attendees that his son would be taking a short break from filming to recover.
Holland was present at the dinner with his fiancée, Zendaya, but reportedly left early after feeling unwell. His family has asked fans to respect his privacy as he recuperates.
Production Uncertainty
The accident has cast doubt on whether production delays could affect the scheduled July 2026 release date of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Marvel has not yet issued a statement regarding changes to the filming timeline.
Despite the setback, industry insiders say the studio is committed to ensuring Holland makes a full recovery before resuming his role.
Tom Holland’s Excitement for a “Fresh Start”
Before the accident, Holland had spoken openly about his enthusiasm for returning as Spider-Man, despite speculation that No Way Home might be his final outing.
In an interview with Complex, Holland said:
“It’s been a really fun process developing the movie. It’s the first time I’ve ever been allowed in that part of the process, and it’s definitely a stressful experience. But where we’ve got to, now that we’re shooting, we are shooting absolute gold.”
Calling the new film a “rebirth”, Holland explained that Brand New Day feels less like the fourth entry and more like the start of a new chapter in his Spider-Man journey.
He even admitted to quietly monitoring fan reactions online to see what viewers wanted most from the next installment.
