Spider-Man star Tom Holland says that Brand New Day was “almost saved” when he requested its production be delayed \u2014 so he could go shoot Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey<\/a> first.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Speaking to GQ<\/a>, Holland recalled being approached by Nolan to appear in his upcoming historical epic, though he had to admit he was already on the hook to film Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> at the same time. <\/p>\n

“I said to Chris, like, ‘Look, I want to do this movie, but if I’m going to do it, I’m going to have to call Sony and have a very uncomfortable conversation,” Holland recalled. Which is exactly what he did \u2014 and, predictably, the superstar actor ended up getting his way. <\/p>\n

Sony agreed to postpone Spider-Man’s production schedule by six months to allow Holland to film The Odyssey, and in the meantime, the studio’s search for a director landed Shang-Chi and Wonder-Man boss Destin Daniel Cretton. The delay also sounds like it allowed Holland, Cretton, and Sony to get a better handle on the film’s story \u2014 rather than work it out on set.<\/p>\n

“The Odyssey almost saved Spider-Man because we wouldn’t have had Destin,” Holland said. “He wouldn’t have been ready to make the movie when we were ready to go. We wouldn’t have had the six-month period to develop the script with Destin to get it to a place where it is now. And I truly believe that we’ve made the best version of any Spider-Man movie going. So while it was a tough pill to swallow for Sony, I think in hindsight, they’re very grateful that it happened.<\/p>\n

“We are not going to come to set and figure it out,” Holland said he told Sony, after seeing the way Nolan shot The Odyssey. “We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s Spider-Man 4 and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?<\/p>\n
