The fourth standalone Spider-Man movieis scheduled for global release in July 2026.

According to multiple reports, Holland allegedly struck his head while performing a stunt at Leavesden Studios in Watford, UK.

The fall left him with a mild concussion, for which he was transported to the hospital by an ambulance and treated for the same.

A woman, believed to be a stunt double, was also taken to the same hospital in a separate ambulance.

As a result, production on the £150 million Marvel film has been suspended for several weeks while Holland recovers.

A day later, he was spotted at a charity dinner in Mayfair with his co-star and fiancée Zendaya, as well as his father, comedian Dominic.

The couple posed for photos at the event, but Holland left early after reportedly feeling unwell.

His father confirmed that he would not resume filming and would be taking a break ‘for a while.’

The incident could prompt an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive.

Neither Tom nor the studio has publicly addressed the accident, although a representative from the East of England Ambulance Service offered some details.

One netizen commented, “This is why you need stunt men to do their job. It’s not about being a man, but just think about the delay. How much does this injury cost compared to paying a stunt man?”

Another wrote, “It’s ok to let the stunt professionals take the lead. That’s what they get paid for.”

A third expressed, “Get a professional stunt double bro, you’ll always be Peter Parker to us but you don’t have to actually try to be him.”

“You not tom cruise brotha. Leave it to the professionals.”

Holland previously revealed a first glimpse of his costume for the upcoming sequel in a clip shared on the movie’s official Instagram and X accounts.

In the clip, he looked directly into the camera and asked the audience, “We ready?” for the film.

The reel concluded with the film’s title appearing on the screen as Tom ran off.

The suit featured Spider-Man’s signature red and blue colors, while a black spider emblem was embroidered on his chest, adding a touch of difference compared to the previous three suits.

Tom’s suit has evolved over the course of the three films he has starred in for the franchise.

“Must have been a swing stunt involving Spider-Man and Spider Gwen,” suspected one fan online, in the light of both Tom and a stuntwoman being hospitalized.
