The Definitive Timeline: Tom Holland's On-Set Injury Dates
Tom Holland's career is littered with reports of minor and major injuries, a testament to his decision to perform increasingly complex stunts. While he has been "battered and bruised" on nearly every action film set, a few dates and incidents stand out as the most significant, culminating in his latest head trauma.
1. The Triple Threat: Multiple Broken Noses (Various Dates)
One of Holland’s most frequent injuries is a broken nose, which he has sustained at least three times over the course of his career. This recurring injury highlights the brutal nature of his work, even in seemingly routine action sequences.
The first publicly reported break occurred early in his MCU journey, during the filming of *Captain America: Civil War* (2016), when he accidentally took a blow to the face. Another break was sustained later while filming the sci-fi movie *Chaos Walking* (2021 release, filmed in 2017/2018). Holland has spoken humorously about the experience, noting that his nose now has a permanent 'kink' from being reset so many times. This pattern of facial injury underscores the high-impact nature of his early career roles, establishing a worrying trend long before his major concussion.
2. The Dislocated Ankle on *Cherry* Set (Late 2019)
Filming the dark drama *Cherry* (2021) required a significant physical and emotional transformation for Holland. While the role was a departure from the lighthearted superhero genre, it was no less physically demanding. During a stunt sequence for the film, Holland suffered a serious dislocated ankle. The injury was severe enough to require significant recovery time. He later recounted that the experience of filming *Cherry* was the most challenging of his career, with the dislocated ankle being a painful physical marker of the film’s intensity. This injury occurred in late 2019, shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic halted major productions worldwide.
3. The Bruised and Battered Body of *Uncharted* (2020-2021)
While the exact dates for a single, major injury on the *Uncharted* set are hard to pinpoint, the overall production left Holland "battered and bruised" for months. Playing the young Nathan Drake required him to be involved in massive, complex action sequences, including falling out of a cargo plane and engaging in extensive hand-to-hand combat. Holland specifically mentioned that the sword-fight scenes left him in significant pain. The cumulative effect of these stunts on his body, while not a single, headline-grabbing injury, was a major physical toll that took place throughout the 2020 and early 2021 production period. This filming period serves as a testament to the chronic physical stress his job entails.
The Latest Incident: September 19, 2025 Concussion
The most recent and severe incident to date occurred on the set of *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, the fourth film in his solo series. This injury is the most important for fans and industry observers seeking the latest health update.
The Official Tom Holland Injury Date: September 19, 2025.
On this date, Holland was reportedly performing a complex stunt at Leavesden Studios in the U.K., which involved a fall that went wrong. He sustained a mild concussion and was immediately rushed to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment. The injury was severe enough to warrant a complete suspension of filming. Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios quickly issued statements confirming the production halt, prioritizing the actor's recovery.
The initial reports, some of which suggested a "cracked skull," were later clarified by sources close to the production to be a mild concussion, though the shock of the incident was palpable across the industry. Production was slated to resume on September 29, 2025, after a mandatory ten-day rest period, allowing the *Spider-Man* star time to recover fully from the head trauma. This incident has led to a major discussion among fans and safety experts about the need for increased on-set safety equipment and the balance between authentic stunt work and actor well-being, especially for high-profile MCU films.
Topical Authority: Why Does Tom Holland Get Injured So Often?
The continuous cycle of injuries for Tom Holland, from his dislocated ankle in *Cherry* to his multiple broken noses and the recent mild concussion, is not a coincidence. It is largely a result of his approach to acting and the physical demands of his roles. His commitment to authenticity means he performs a significant portion of his own stunts, a rarity among A-list actors, particularly in the superhero genre.
The nature of playing Spider-Man, a character defined by acrobatic movements, swinging, and fighting, necessitates constant physical risk. Holland, a trained gymnast, often pushes the boundaries of what is possible, leading to inevitable accidents. Furthermore, the sheer volume of action films in his portfolio—including *The Impossible*, *Captain America: Civil War*, three solo *Spider-Man* films, *Avengers: Infinity War*, *Avengers: Endgame*, and *Uncharted*—increases his exposure to danger exponentially. His willingness to take on physically taxing roles, such as the troubled veteran in *Cherry*, further compounds the issue.
While his dedication is commendable, his frequent trips to the hospital—including the one on September 19, 2025—serve as a stark reminder of the physical sacrifices made for cinematic spectacle. Fans, while eager for *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, continue to send well wishes and hope that the young actor prioritizes his long-term health over the immediate demands of the film set.
His recent recovery from the concussion is a positive health update, but the question remains: When will the next injury date be, and what will it take for the web-slinger to finally catch a break?
