Tom Holland says The Odyssey 'saved' Spider-Man Brand New Day, recalls 'uncomfortable conversation' to delay Marvel film
HOllywood asterisk tomcat Holland says he requested Sony to hold over the production of Spider-Man: brandmark young Day so he could start working on Christopher Nolan's directorial The Odyssey.Tom Holland told Sony to delay Spider-Man Brand New DayThe actor recalled his conversation with Sony Pictures boss Tom Rothman. “So I said to Chris, like, 'Look, I want to do this movie, but if I'm going to do it, I'm going to have to call Sony and have a very uncomfortable conversation,” he told GQ in an interview.“I think one of the reasons why Sony were happy to move is because Chris has that reputation of, 'This movie isn't going to go five months over, and we aren't actually going to lose Tom for two years...Any other director, it might have been a slightly different conversation,” he added.How The Odyssey saved Spider-ManThe actor said the break also allowed the makers to bring Destin Daniel Cretton, who replaced Jon Watts, the director of the first three MCU Spider-Man films, who stepped away from the franchise.“The Odyssey almost saved Spider-Man because we wouldn't have had Destin...He wouldn't have been ready to make the movie when we were ready to go. We wouldn't have had the six-month period to develop the script with Destin to get it to a place where it is now. And I truly believe that we've made the best version of any 'Spider-Man' movie going. So while it was a tough pill to swallow for Sony, I think in hindsight, they're very grateful that it happened,” Holland said.About the two filmsSpider-Man: Brand New Day marks the fourth film for the actor, who has previously featured in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home, which released in 2021. The film is set to release in theatres on July 31.Holland first essayed the role of Peter Parker in 2016's Captain America: Civil War, before reprising the role in three standalone films as well as several Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) titles such as Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.The Odyssey is set to release on July 17 and also features Matt Damon, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron, among others.
