Tom Holland has unveiled how badly he wanted to be a part of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

The 30-year-old is all set to mark his first collaboration with The Dark Knight creator, for which he even had to have an extremely uncomfortable conversation with the Spider-Man: Brand New Day makers.

When Holland was offered a role in The Odyssey, he already had a set schedule for Spider-Man 4.

He badly wanted to star in the Greek epic which is why he asked Nolan to wait until he speaks with Sony to delay the Marvel movie a bit.

In an interview with GQ, he told co-stars Matt Damon and Robert Pattinson, “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.”

As per Tom, the production company was quite understanding about it and were ready to make changes in the schedule in respect of Chris.

The Uncharted actor added, “I think one of the reasons why Sony were happy to move is because Chris has that reputation of ‘This movie isn’t going to go five months over, and we aren’t actually going to lose Tom for two years.”

The English actor emphasized that if it were any other director other than Destin Daniel Cretton, than it might have been a slightly different conversation.
