Tom Holland sustained a mild concussion while filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day in the United Kingdom on Friday, September 19, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor will be taking a week-long break to recover. Sony executives have also decided to temporarily halt production during this period.
Tom announced the title and the release date of Spider-Man 4 at the CinemaCon on Monday, March 31 (US time) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to a previous report by Variety, the movie would be called Spider-Man: Brand New Day and would be released on July 31, 2026, in theaters.
In a video featuring Tom which was played at the convention, the actor described the upcoming film as a "fresh start."
"I am so sorry I can’t be with you. I am halfway around the world shooting a movie. I know we left you with a massive clip hanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say," he remarked.
"That’s all I’ve been allowed to say. And I’m well over the hump of giving away spoilers, so don’t be worried. I’m not going to do that today," he quipped.
Back in October last year, in an interview on the Rich Roll Podcast, Tom discussed the development process of the upcoming Spider-Man film.
"One of the things is that, with Marvel, your film is a small cog in a large machine. That machine has got to keep running. You have to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture," he highlighted.
"That’s one of the challenges we’re facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the people we have working on it now.”
While acknowledging that the script still needs refinement, Tom expressed enthusiasm for what’s to come.
"We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent,” he stated. “It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me. Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans' respect."
