Filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been briefly paused as lead actor Tom Holland reportedly takes a short break from the set in Glasgow. The pause has sparked widespread fan speculation that the actor is secretly shooting for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
August 27, 2025: Tom Holland, the friendly neighborhood hero from Marvel, has apparently taken a vacation from filming his new movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The actor has been filming intense action scenes in Glasgow, which is standing in for New York City. This has led to a lot of conjecture among fans about what he will do next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Leaked photos from the set have given us a first glimpse at Holland’s new Spider-Man suit and shown off some acrobatic acrobatics. His stunt double can be seen fighting baddies, including what looks like The Scorpion. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who played MJ and Ned, respectively, in the first three movies, are back for the fourth movie in the hit series.
Sources say that Holland is taking a short break from filming, but the timing has led to a lot of fan speculation. The most popular rumor going around on social media is that Holland is already shooting scenes for the Russo Brothers-directed movie Avengers: Doomsday, which fans are quite excited about. There hasn’t been any official word on Spider-Man’s participation in the crossover yet, but people in the know say he will appear with limited screen time, which will lay the stage for a bigger presence in future movies.
There have also been a lot of whispers about who will be in the ongoing production. Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal, who will reprise his role as The Punisher, are said to be joining the cast. Actress Florence Pugh, who plays Yelena Belova in the MCU, was recently seen in Glasgow, which has sparked more rumors about a crossover with the Thunderbolts squad.
Marvel is keeping production information under wraps, so Holland’s short hiatus has only made fans more curious. They want to know if he is swinging through the streets of New York or getting ready for the next Avengers movie.
