Spider-Man filming leaked in London points to last-minute Brand New Day reshoots, Avengers: Doomsday spoilers, or an elaborate advert. Fan videos show the web-slinger performing wire stunts and landing on a crushed car in Wembley, though whether it's Tom Holland or a stunt double remains unclear.
Key Takeaways
- Spider-Man was filmed performing wire stunts and landing on a crushed car in Wembley, London this week.
- The filming could be last-minute Brand New Day reshoots ahead of the July 31 release date.
- Some fans speculate it's for Avengers: Doomsday reshoots, though this would spoil Spider-Man's involvement.
- Security staff allegedly told fans it was for an advert, though this remains unverified.
- The actor's identity couldn't be confirmed from the fan footage — it could be Tom Holland or a stunt double.
What the London footage shows
Multiple fan videos captured Spider-Man suspended from wires over a smoky scene before landing on a partially-crushed car half-buried in rubble. The footage shows the character with his mask off, though the distance makes it impossible to confirm whether Tom Holland or a stunt double was performing the stunts.
TikTok user sharmishah21 captured the moment, writing: "Casually stumbling upon Spider-Man being filmed next to your local Sainsbury's." Another fan video, shared by Spider-Man News, showed similar confusion: "What was Spider-Man doing on my street in London????" The filming was identified as taking place specifically in Wembley.
The setup involved significant production elements — wire rigs, smoke effects, and a detailed crash scene with a damaged vehicle surrounded by debris.

Is this Brand New Day reshoots?
The timing suggests last-minute additional filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which releases on July 31 — just weeks away. Such late-stage reshoots aren't unprecedented for Marvel productions, especially when fine-tuning action sequences or adding connecting material.
However, the scale of the London setup — complete with wire work and practical effects — seems significant for simple pickup shots. Our take is that Brand New Day's proximity to release makes this the most likely scenario, despite the elaborate nature of the filming.
The Brand New Day runtime clocking in at 150 minutes suggests Sony might be adding crucial connecting material or enhancing existing action beats.
Could it spoil Avengers: Doomsday?
Marvel is currently filming Avengers: Doomsday reshoots in the UK, making this a tempting theory. One fan commented: "Just a reminder that Doomsday reshoots are still going on." However, Tom Holland hasn't been officially announced for the film, and this public filming would essentially spoil Spider-Man's involvement.
The Avengers: Doomsday trailer focused on Doctor Doom and Captain America's return without revealing Spider-Man's role. Filming his scenes this publicly would be an unusual strategic choice for Marvel's typically secretive approach.
Still, the UK location and timing align suspiciously with known Doomsday production schedules, adding fuel to fan speculation.
The advert theory
Reddit discussions include unverified claims that on-location security staff told fans the filming was for an advert. However, these responses can't be confirmed, and even if accurate, could represent intentional misdirection.
One fan pushed back on this theory: "Feels too much effort for an ad." The wire work, practical car crash, and London location shoot would represent significant investment for commercial purposes, especially given Spider-Man's typically high production values in advertising.
In our experience covering Marvel productions, the scale and setup suggest something more substantial than promotional material, though elaborate Spider-Man adverts have certainly happened before.
