Tom Holland is swinging back to health.
One week after suffering a mild concussion on the Glasgow, Scotland, set of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” — the fourth installment of his “Spider-Man” franchise — the 29-year-old shared an update on his well-being while recapping a charity event held by his non-profit The Brothers Trust in London.
“I’m sorry I had to leave early but I’m feeling better and on the mend,” Holland wrote on Instagram Sept. 27 alongside a highlight video of the fundraiser. “A huge thanks to my Dad for taking over after I left. The show got considerably funnier.”
In addition to Tom’s parents and brothers Sam Holland, Harry Holland and Paddy Holland, his fiancé Zendaya and their costar Jacob Batalon attended the event, which took place the day after the Marvel star’s Sept. 19 injury.
Although his concussion forced him to briefly step away from filming the new “Spider-Man” movie — which will also star “Stranger Things'” Sadie Sink and “The Bear’s” Liza Colón-Zayas — Holland has been vocal about how “over the moon” he is to be back in his spidey suit, especially given the last film’s limitations.

“Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal,” he told Flip Your Wig in July. “I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of Covid. We shot the entire film on stages.”
“Now, we’re really gonna lean into that old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we’re starting in Glasgow and we’re gonna use the streets of Glasgow to build this massive set-piece that we’re putting together,” he continued. “So it’s gonna feel like making “Spider-Man” 1 again.”
And while playing Peter Parker is certainly familiar territory for Holland, he has admitted this new installment feels special.
“It’s funny, putting the suit on, it feels different this time, somehow,” he said in a behind-the-scenes video shared to the movie’s official Instagram last month. “It’s also the first time we ever had fans on set day one, so it’s really exciting to share this with them.”
He concluded, “We’ve got some familiar faces on set. I’m just going to do my best, hopefully get it right, no pressure.”
