Tom Holland breaks silence after head injury while filming Spider-Man stunt
Tom Holland has broken his silence as he gave a health update after suffering a head injury while filming a Spider-Man stunt.
The actor, 29, was injured when a stunt went wrong on September 19 while shooting scenes as the beloved Marvel character.
Paramedics rushed to the scene at Leavesden Studios in Watford before taking Tom to the hospital for treatment.
As he recuperates, filming has been halted on the blockbuster for a full week, with insiders insisting it was not possible to shoot scenes in Tom’s absence.
Now, the actor has shared an update with his fans as he took to Instagram on Saturday evening.
The actor shared a video from a recent gala for his parents’ nonprofit The Brothers Trust, which he attended with fiancée and co-star Zendaya.
Alongside the post, he penned: “What a night! Another huge success. 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.”
It comes after it was revealed that the halting of production on Spider-Man’s latest film is set to cost a staggering £10.5 million as Tom recovers from a mild concussion.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is the fourth film in the Multi Cinematic Universe, is believed to cost $200m, approximately £150m.
Daily Mail can reveal the production shutdown is set to cost bosses an additional eye-watering £1.5 million a day until the clapperboard is clapped once more.
Industry sources have said fees associated with production, such as the hiring of studio space, equipment and maintaining sets, still stand despite the halting.
The movie’s star-studded cast, which includes Holland’s girlfriend Zendaya, also need to be paid during that time, as well as additional accommodation fees as a result of extended stays following the schedule changes.
An insider said: “It’s a headache for any production to have to pause filming, but with a movie of this scale it will be a huge migraine for the producers and studio. Crew still need to be paid throughout the delay and there are also secondary location costs to consider. While health and safety comes first, everyone on the shoot will be hoping to get the cameras rolling again sooner rather than later.”
Emeka Egbuonu, a film director, also told Daily Mail: “On a production the size of Spider-Man, which carries a $200 million budget, the daily running costs are immense. Once you factor in cast, crew, set locations, equipment, and the logistical machine that keeps a blockbuster moving, each day of filming can cost between $1.5 and $2 million [£1.1m and £1.5m]. The challenge is that even when filming halts, many of those costs don’t disappear — the crew still need to be paid, sets need to be maintained, and equipment continues to be on hire.”
He added it represents a “significant financial hit for the studio and puts added pressure on schedules and delivery timelines.”
Daily Mail contacted Sony Pictures for comment.
In a previous statement, the East of England Ambulance Service said: “We were called at 10.30am on Friday to attend to a patient who had sustained an injury at Leavesden Studios in Watford. An ambulance was sent to the scene, and the patient was transported to hospital for further care.”
Despite the production halt, the movie is still currently slated for release in July 2026.
