Despite the encouraging news, fans shouldn't expect Holland to immediately get back to swinging on webs and fighting crime on camera, as he needs time to recover.

Production on "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has temporarily been suspended to allow Holland time to recover. Still, the pause is understood to be costing the producers a whopping £1.5 million ($2 million) every day.

With the studio maintaining the movie's targeted July 2026 release date, it remains to be seen when filming will begin, especially after Holland's father announced he'll be out for the foreseeable future.

According to the Daily Mail, sources shared that the film still incurs some running costs despite Holland's absence, including paying the idle cast and crew, renting equipment, and studio space.

"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," a source said. "Crew still needs to be paid throughout the delay, and there are also secondary location costs to consider."

"While health and safety come first, everyone on the shoot will be hoping to get the cameras rolling again sooner rather than later," they added.

Film Director Says The Pause Will Be A 'Significant Financial Hit For The Studio'

Although it was understood Holland's absence would only be for a week, the loss incurred on bringing the iconic Marvel franchise to life again could rise higher than earlier envisaged.

The film has an estimated budget of $200 million, prompting film director Emeka Egbuonu to share that "the daily running costs are immense," which suggests that the production could incur significant losses.

"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," Egbuonu told the Daily Mail.

He continued, "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."

The film director added that it represents a "significant financial hit for the studio, and puts added pressure on schedules and delivery timelines."

Holland first starred as the iconic Marvel character in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" in 2016, before coming back again in 2019 for "Spider-Man: Far From Home," and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in 2021.
