Tom Holland Glorifies Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' as the "Best Script I've Ever Read"

Tom Holland has never been one to shy away from bold statements, but his recent praise for Christopher Nolan's upcoming film 'The Odyssey' is catching serious attention. Although he is still best known to viewers as Spider-Man, Holland seems prepared to change things up with this ambitious mythological adaption, referring to it as "the best script I've ever read" rather than just a fantastic script. After completing filming on the project, Holland opened up about the profound impact the film had on him both professionally and personally, sparking even more excitement around Nolan's latest cinematic venture.

A Script That Redefined His Career

When Holland reflected on his time on set, he was candid in calling 'The Odyssey' the most influential endeavor of his career. He called Nolan a "genuine collaborator"—someone who understands exactly what he wants but still encourages innovation from his cast—and lauded the director's amazing vision. Holland underlined that the atmosphere Nolan established at work enabled him to develop as an actor in ways he had not previously been able to. Holland said this as "the best experience I've had on a film set," so it wasn't just another big-budget performance. Holland felt inspired and honoured by the amazing ensemble cast, which includes Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and Matt Damon.

Filming took place across multiple international locations and is the first feature film to be shot exclusively on 70mm IMAX cameras, making it as artistically ambitious as it is emotionally complex.

The Epic Release Awaits

Holland is excited about what 'The Odyssey' will be like when it opens in theaters, not simply what it was like when it was being made. The picture, which is slated for its global release on 17th July, 2026, promises a mythological-scale cinematic experience as Nolan adapts Homer's beloved story for contemporary audiences. If the actor's laudatory remarks are any guide, 'The Odyssey' may end up becoming a seminal epic of this generation. He hinted that the movie would be "unlike anything we've ever seen."

As Holland now pivots back into Marvel territory with 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' it's clear that 'The Odyssey' has left an indelible mark on him—and perhaps, soon, on movie history as well.
