Tom Holland is pulling double duty this summer by starring in two highly anticipated films: The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. And he’s revealing how he made sure not to miss Christopher Nolan’s epic.

In the newest GQ cover story, alongside The Odyssey co-stars Matt Damon and Robert Pattinson, Holland reflected on how he had to call Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman, which is one of the studios behind the film, and persuaded the studio head to push Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s production so he could film Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey first, as the filming dates conflicted.

“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,’ ” the 30-year-old actor said.

Luckily for Holland, Rothman agreed.
