Los Angeles, September 22, 2025 — Production of the highly anticipated Marvel film Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been temporarily halted following an on-set injury sustained by lead actor Tom Holland. The incident occurred during a stunt sequence at Pinewood Studios, where the film has been in active shooting since August.
According to sources close to the production, Holland suffered a minor fracture in his right ankle while performing a high-impact action scene. Medical personnel were immediately called to the set, and the actor was taken to a nearby facility for evaluation. Doctors have advised a recovery period of at least three weeks, prompting the studio to suspend filming until further notice.
Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios issued a joint statement confirming the pause in production: “Tom Holland is receiving the best possible care and is expected to make a full recovery. We are committed to ensuring the safety of our cast and crew and will resume filming once he is cleared to return.”
Directed by Jon Watts, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fourth installment in the franchise and is expected to explore a darker, multiverse-driven storyline. The film features returning cast members Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Benedict Cumberbatch, alongside new additions including Florence Pugh and Steven Yeun.
Industry insiders suggest the delay may push the film’s release date, originally slated for July 2026. However, no official changes have been announced.
Fans have flooded social media with messages of support for Holland, who has become synonymous with the role of Peter Parker since his debut in Captain America: Civil War (2016). The actor is known for performing many of his own stunts, a trait that has earned him praise but also increased physical risk.
