“Z told me: I’m going to leave you if you don’t do The Odyssey”. Just like that, Tom Holland said it during a press conference, sitting alongside Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, with no filter. 😂
It turns out that when Nolan offered him the role of Telemachus, filming directly clashed with that of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Holland got home, told Zendaya about it, and she guessed who it was about.
That’s when he dropped the phrase that has already gone viral. Nolan laughed live and thanked her for convincing him. 🎬
In the end, Holland negotiated with Sony to move the Spider-Man dates and make both films. Zendaya plays the goddess Athena in the movie, which premieres on July 17, 2026. Love with an ultimatum included, but with a happy ending for everyone. ✨
