Production on the highly anticipated 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' has temporarily paused following an on-set incident involving star Tom Holland. Variety confirms that Holland sustained a mild concussion on Friday, necessitating a break from filming as a precautionary measure. The actor is expected to return to the set within a few days. Sony Pictures, in collaboration with Marvel Studios, will convene on Monday to finalize a revised production schedule. Thankfully, no other injuries were reported.
Filming for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' commenced in Glasgow earlier this month and is scheduled for release on July 31st of next year. The film marks Holland's return to the iconic role, his fourth time donning the Spidey suit since his initial debut. Just last month, Sony released footage of Holland on set in his new suit, generating significant excitement among fans. In the video, Holland expressed his enthusiasm about returning to the role and working alongside familiar faces and newcomers.
Returning cast members include Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, reprising their roles from previous installments. The film also boasts an impressive roster of new additions to the MCU, including Liza Colon-Zayas from 'The Bear,' Emmy winner Tramell Tillman of 'Severance,' and breakout star Sadie Sink from 'Stranger Things.' Adding further weight to the star-studded cast are the returns of Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner (The Hulk), Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, and Michael Mando as Scorpion from 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'. While this unexpected setback delays production, fans can rest assured that Holland is recovering well and the anticipated release date remains on track, for now.
