While on pause from filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day after suffering a concussion on the Glasgow set, Tom Holland has shared an update with fans.
The actor noted he’s “feeling better and on the mend” amid the week-long suspension from filming as he shared video from a recent gala for his parents’ nonprofit The Brothers Trust, which he attended with fiancée and co-star Zendaya last weekend after sustaining the injury on Friday.
“What a night! Another huge success,” Holland captioned the Instagram post in part. “The Brothers Trust means more to me than I could possibly say and I have to say a huge thank you to my Mum and her wonderful friends for putting on another incredible night. Raising money for fantastic causes and having fun doing it! I’m sorry I had to leave early but I’m feeling better and on the mend. A huge thanks to my Dad for taking over after I left. The show got considerably funnier.”

On Sunday, Deadline reported that filming halted on Spider-Man: Brand New Day after Holland was treated for a mild concussion, reportedly during a stunt gone wrong, amid production on the Pinewood UK set of the Sony and Marvel Studios movie.
The actor was taken to the hospital and examined, but not admitted. No other cast or crew was affected during the incident.
Filming began in Scotland last month. In October, Sony added Spider-Man: Brand New Day to its summer 2026 schedule with a July 24 release date, later revealing the title in March at CinemaCon. Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s release date was then shifted to July 31.
New details have surfaced about Tom Holland’s on-set injury that halted filming of the latest Spider Man movie.
The 29-year-old actor was rushed to the hospital after a stunt went wrong at the UK’s Leavesden Studios, according to The Sun. Holland struck his head on the floor, leading to what doctors described as a mild concussion.
“The accident wasn’t as bad as people think,” an insider told the outlet.
The source explained that “a line snapped on a pull ring, and he got a bump on his [head]. Filming was supposed to start again in London on Thursday, but for now the production team have been told to stand down for two weeks.”

Tom Holland was in public over the weekend
Though not filming, Holland was in public over the weekend. On September 20, he joined his parents, Dominic and Nikki, his brothers Sam, Harry, and Paddy, and Zendaya at the annual Brother’s Trust Gala in London, according to Parade report.
The charity, founded in 2017 by Dominic and Nikki, aims to “help charities who struggle to be heard in the noisy not-for-profit sector.”
Holland previously shared his excitement for reprising the role in a Sony video when filming began in Glasgow last month. “It’s day one, my fourth ever day one on Spider-Man. It’s funny, putting the suit on, it feels different this time, somehow,” he said.
He added, “It’s also the first time we ever had fans on set day one, so it’s really exciting to share this with them. We’ve got some familiar faces on set. I’m just going to do my best, hopefully get it right, no pressure.”
Emilia Clarke’s Brain Aneurysm
Emilia Clarke filmed battle scenes for Game of Thrones, but in 2019, she published an essay in The New Yorker titled “A Battle for My Life.”
Having a bad headache at the gym, “I reached the toilet, sank to my knees, and proceeded to be violently, voluminously ill,” the actress wrote. “Meanwhile, the pain—shooting, stabbing, constricting pain—was getting worse. At some level, I knew what was happening: my brain was damaged.”
She was taken to the hospital for a brain scan.
“The diagnosis was quick and ominous: a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening type of stroke, caused by bleeding into the space surrounding the brain,” the Emmy nominee added. “I’d had an aneurysm, an arterial rupture.”
Emilia had immediate surgery to seal the aneurysm, calling the pain “unbearable.” While she was recovering, she continued, she experienced aphasia and was “muttering nonsense.”
A week later, “the aphasia passed,” Emilia added, and she left the hospital a month after being admitted.
At a 2013 brain scan, she learned a growth “doubled in size” and that she needed surgery again.
“When they woke me, I was screaming in pain,” she wrote. “The procedure had failed. I had a massive bleed and the doctors made it plain that my chances of surviving were precarious if they didn’t operate again. This time they needed to access my brain in the old-fashioned way—through my skull.”
Thankfully, Emilia shared, she’s now “at a hundred per cent.”
Tom Holland was reportedly injured on the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Friday.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor suffered a mild concussion, and will be taking a break from filming for the next several days. An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed to The Sun that an ambulance was called to Leavesden Studios in Watford, Herts, on Friday and transported an injured individual to a local hospital.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth film in the Sony’s Spider-Man franchise, is due in theaters on July 31st, 2026.
To celebrate the anniversary of such an iconic superhero game, Radio Times Gaming jumped on a call with its lead designer, Chad Findley.
You can see the full conversation in video form above, or on our YouTube channel, or keep on reading for some choice quotes from the interview.
Back in the year 2000, did Findley think that he’d still be talking about his Spider-Man game two and a half decades later?
“Not at all,” he tells us. “So back then, I was so early in my career, I was really happy just to be working on a game like this. I know I’ve been lucky with a lot of the games I got to work on over the years, but I knew at the time, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, you know?
“Bringing Spidey to 3D, like, who gets to do that? 3D games were, in general, kind of new. And, you know, even characters walking around was generally pretty janky. And I think Superman 64 was around the same time.
“So, you know, superhero games were getting started. So, I just wanted to make sure we did the source material justice and made a good game.
“And so, I was happy that we ended up serving both really well, I think, for the most part, and setting a good baseline for Spidey games and superhero games in general. But I was not expecting it still to be beloved. But I love that. It makes me really happy.”
There are so many iconic aspects to the game — from the ‘Kid Mode’ option on the start menu all the way through to the hybrid Doctor Octopus/Carnage that you face in the unforgettable final level.
We get into all of that and a whole lot more, including Findley’s work on Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater around the same time, in the video version of this interview (which will also be available on our podcast feed next week).
So, how did that opening Stan Lee narration come about? “I was a huge Spidey nerd,” Findley recalls.
“So Stan used to write these yellow box intros to the issues he would do. And it would be, like, a little ‘wet the palette’, sneak peek into what’s about to happen in that issue, or what might have happened a little bit in the past.
Findley added: “But it was something to get the reader excited about the issue they’re about to read.
“And I wanted that for the game, because you know, I wanted the people to really get the feeling of it. And so Activision went after it, and said, ‘Hey, do you want to do this?’ He said yes.
“And man, that dude was fantastic. Like, he was a super fun guy. He knew what we were going for. He made fun of my writing because I stole from him so much in my style. But like, every part of working with that dude was awesome.”
It wasn’t a long collaboration. Findley recalls, “It was only a day or two, but it was cherished. Like, I remember those days super fondly. It’s one of my best development days.”
And what does it mean to the developers that people still look back on this game so fondly?
“It makes me happy that people loved what we took from the original books and put out there, and that we did a good enough job with the controls,” he told us.
“There’s definitely issues with it still. But like, that was step one going into a completely new area. We’re going blind into this.
“And so, I think we did a good job with getting that first step for superhero games, and Spidey in particular, to be accessible to people and enjoy it.
“And I just love that people reacted to it so well. And it makes me very happy.”
