Tom Holland is at the center of two major Hollywood blockbusters, juggling his commitments between Avengers: Doomsday and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. With both films scheduled to start production in first half of 2025, Holland is facing a significant scheduling conflict.
According to insider Daniel Richtman, a stunt double will step in for Holland in several Avengers: Doomsday scenes due to his obligations to Nolan’s epic adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.
This scheduling overlap has sparked speculation about his role in the Greek mythology film, with fans convinced they have figured out his character.
With Damon confirmed in the lead role, attention quickly shifted to another key character—Telemachus, the son of Odysseus.
Social media erupted with theories, with fans pointing out that Holland’s youthful appearance and acting style make him a perfect fit for the role. In The Odyssey, Telemachus embarks on his own journey to search for his long-lost father while dealing with the chaos left behind in Ithaca.
Meanwhile, Avengers: Doomsday is set to begin filming in London in April 2025. Directed by the Russo Brothers, the film will see Holland reprising his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
The highly anticipated film will feature an ensemble cast, including Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Wyatt Russell, Vanessa Kirby, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Anthony Mackie, Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Kelsey Grammer, and Channing Tatum. With a massive scope, Avengers: Doomsday will serve as the conclusion to the Multiverse Saga, leading into Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027.
On the other hand, Nolan’s The Odyssey will begin filming at the same time, adding to Holland’s intense workload. Starring alongside Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Benny Safdie, and Charlize Theron, Holland’s involvement in the film is expected to be a significant one. While Universal has not officially confirmed his role, fans remain convinced that he will portray Telemachus, possibly serving as one of the film’s primary narrators.
Both films come out next year with Nolans's The Odyssey scheduled for a July 17, 2026 release while Avengers: Doomsday is set to premiere on May 1, 2026.
