Tom Holland is opening up about delaying production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day so that he could be part of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
In a recent interview with GQ, Holland spoke about an “uncomfortable conversation” he had with Sony Pictures head Tom Rothman about the possibility of delaying production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day in order to star in Nolan’s epic, as both films had the exact same production start date.
“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,’” Holland said.
The call went well, Holland said, partly due to Nolan’s reputation as a filmmaker. The Odyssey‘s production started on schedule and actually finished nine days early, Holland noted.
“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,’” Holland said. “Any other director, it might have been a slightly different conversation.”
Both films are premiering to theaters this summer. Holland said this period really “feels like the beginning of the next chapter of my life.”
“I really feel like a young man now,” Holland continued. “I have so much amazing stuff happening in my personal life to take me through to the rest of my life, and I feel like I have a new perspective on where I want to exist in Hollywood.”
The Odyssey arrives in cinemas and to IMAX screens on July 17, while Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31.

Ariana Grande plans to step back from public appearances after completing The Eternal Sunshine Tour, her representative confirmed to ABC News.
The singer will also no longer star in the upcoming West End revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George, which would have reunited her with her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey.
“Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour,” her representative said in a statement to ABC News on Sunday.
“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny,” the statement continued. “This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”
A source close to Grande said the singer is disappointed to leave the production but remains supportive of the creative team.
“She cannot wait to support the brilliant team bringing this project to life,” the source added.
The representative did not specify what prompted Grande’s decision to step back, though the statement cited “endless, ongoing public scrutiny” tied to her public-facing work and appearances.
Grande’s appearance has been the subject of public discussion and body-shaming in recent years, with renewed online commentary following the release of the music video for her latest single, “Petal,” from her newly released album of the same name.
The Grammy winner has previously addressed comments about her body, including in her 2024 song “Yes, And?,” in which she sings, “Don’t comment on my body.”
Grande launched her The Eternal Sunshine Tour in June in Oakland, California. After wrapping up the remaining U.S. dates, she will head to London, where the tour is scheduled to conclude Sept. 1.
The tour marks Grande’s return to the stage after several years focused on acting and recording music, including her starring role as Glinda in the Wicked films.
After the tour concludes, Grande is next set to appear on the big screen in Focker-in-Law, the latest installment of the Meet the Parents franchise, alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters Nov. 25.
