Tom Holland opens up on Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Odyssey.

Tom Holland has shared new reflections on his work with Christopher Nolan, shedding light on what has become one of the most anticipated film projects in recent memory.

The actor, known for his range across blockbuster franchises and more intimate roles, has been cast in Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.

In an interview with AFP published on September 2, 2025, Holland spoke about the experience of filming across Mediterranean locations and emphasized the scale of Nolan’s vision.

He described the project as “a once-in-a-lifetime experience” that demanded both physical and emotional depth. Only later in the discussion did Holland call the screenplay “the best script I’ve ever read,” a remark that has since amplified excitement around the production.

While careful not to reveal major story details, Holland suggested that Nolan’s approach combines respect for the ancient text with a cinematic style that will feel bold and unexpected.

“It’s something that could redefine how audiences experience myth on screen,” he noted, pointing to the film’s blend of classical themes and modern storytelling techniques.

Nolan’s The Odyssey has been in development for years and carries with it enormous expectations. With Holland’s praise now fueling further speculation, the film is already being spoken of as a potential landmark in contemporary cinema, one that merges timeless storytelling with the singular touch of a director celebrated for pushing the limits of the medium.
