While Tom Holland is proud of his two summer blockbusters, he wouldn’t recommend certain pieces of his past filmography.
The actor, whose movies The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are in theaters this summer, recently admitted that while those press tours have been “really easy,” some of his past films were “shit” and not as easy to promote.
“I’m absolutely loving it,” he said on the Dish Podcast. “When you’re doing press for movies you’re really proud of, it’s really easy. Because when they ask you questions about why should people go and watch this movie, you’re not lying to anyone. You really think people should go see it.”
Holland continued, “I’ve had experiences before when people say, ‘Why should you see this movie?’ And in the back of your mind, you’re like, ‘You shouldn’t, because it’s shit.’”
With The Odyssey crossing the $300M global mark in its first week, Holland has also been promoting his fourth MCU solo outing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, premiering July 31 in theaters.
“It’s felt really like a bit of a victory lap to be honest,” added Holland. “I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m super proud of both of the films.”
An adaptation of one of the first stories in human history, The Odyssey follows Odysseus (Matt Damon) through the incredible trials and mythical encounters he faces on his decade-long journey home to wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Holland) after the Trojan War.
In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Holland reprises his role as the titular web-slinger alter ego of Peter Parker, four years after Dr. Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) spell that made the world forget him. Now anonymously protecting New York City as Spider-Man, while his powers go through a strange and dangerous evolution.
