Tom Holland reveals how his first day of filming ‘The Odyssey’ was
Tom Holland reveals that he was not the most confident on his first day on the‘The Odyssey’ sets.

He shared, “Working with the Imax cameras for the first time is an experience. It is unlike anything I have ever seen before, and I didn’t know that it only ran for three minutes. So, I remember you would continue cutting, and I was with Jon [Bernthal], like, ‘Why does he keep cutting? Why does he keep doing that?’”However, at the time, the thought had not registered in the actor’s mind and had led him to a dark place instead where he felt that Nolan had hated his work in front of the camera. He shared, “And in my head, I was like, ‘Does he not like what we’re doing? What is happening?’ And then, I remember it was actually [stunt coordinator] George Cottle that was like, ‘No, no, no, there’s only three minutes in the mag.’ I was like, ‘Oh, thank god.’ I thought I was totally s******** the bed in this scene.”
