According to the entertainment news portal The Sun, the 29-year-old actor, who plays the titular role in the film, sustained injury when one of the stunts went wrong. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, where he was treated for a concussion.
It is believed that following the injury, Tom Holland will take a break from filming as a precaution. Variety reports that he is expected to return to the set in a few days. As per reports, nobody else was injured during the incident. Sony, which is producing the movie alongside Marvel Studios, is scheduled to meet on Monday to work out a plan going forward.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day began production in Glasgow in early August, and it's set to release in theatres next year on July 31. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, it also stars Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, and Liza Colon-Zayas, among others.
The actor started filming for the film at the beginning of last month and announced the same with a post on his social media. The post featured Holland in the costume of his character walking towards the camera. "Are you ready? - 7.31.2026," he wrote in the caption.
Holland told Esquire in an interview that he imagines he is given a new Spider-Man suit once a fortnight. "Yeah, it definitely does. I probably get a new suit every two weeks, I reckon," Holland, who began filming his upcoming fourth entry in the superhero franchise, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, in August, said.
Besides Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Holland will also feature in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey. It is based on the ancient Greek epic poem Odyssey by Homer. Homer's Odyssey follows Odysseus, who spends years travelling back home from the Trojan War while battling mythical creatures and faces the wrath of the gods in his journey. It is set to hit the big screen on July 17, 2026, and features a star-studded cast comprising Matt Damon, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron.
