Christopher Nolan’s direction has given Tom Holland “anxiety”!
The Spider-Man: Brand New Day actor has recently shared the challenges he faced while working alongside the Oscar-nominated director in their upcoming film, The Odyssey.
Holland, 30, who confirmed his marriage to Zendaya last month, has said he believed that Nolan hated his performance on his first day filming the forthcoming high-budget movie.
The critically acclaimed actor noted that the director used to say “cut” every three minutes, particularly during the actor’s scene.
Why Tom Holland believes Christopher Nolan hated his performance in The Odyssey?
On his first day on set, Holland had a big emotional scene, which he described as “one of the most important scenes in my character arc”, and he thought Nolan didn’t like his performance because he kept calling cut.
He additionally revealed that, “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.”
“I remember you would continue cutting, and I was with (co-star) Jon (Bernthal), like, Why does he keep cutting? Why does he keep doing that?” the actor, who will reprise his role as Peter Parker in the fourth instalment of Spider-Man, added.
He continued, sharing that the first day of his filming was “the most daunting experience” of his entire career.
