Spider-Man Faces £10.5 Million Loss from Production Shutdown After Tom Holland’s Injury

The halting of production on Spider-Man’s latest film is set to cost a staggering £10.5million as Tom Holland recovers from a mild concussion.

The actor, 29, was injured when a stunt when wrong on Friday while shooting scenes as the beloved Marvel character.

Paramedics rushed to the scene at Leavesden Studios in Watford before taking Tom to 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.

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 £1.5million 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 stands 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 is 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 to 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 putting 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. 

Tom’s dad Dominic attended a charity dinner in Mayfair on Saturday, and confirmed that his son would be away from filming ‘for a while’.

The actor was also in attendance at the event posing for photos with his co-star and partner Zendaya, 28.

However, it’s believed Tom left the event ‘early’ after feeling unwell. 

Tom was seen filming for the first time in Glasgow earlier this summer, transforming the city into New York City for the sequel.

While the final casting of the latest instalment in the franchise has not been confirmed, Tom is believed to be starring alongside Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, 23.

Zendaya plays Peter Parker’s girlfriend MJ.
