Tom Holland has recently opened up about an amusing BTS moment from the sets of The Odyssey. The actor revealed that he initially felt director Christopher Nolan was unhappy with his performance.

Tom Holland shares BTS moments
During a conversation with Fandango, Holland shared that working with IMAX equipment was completely new to him. "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?'"

He recalled wondering if Nolan was unhappy with what he and co-star Jon Bernthal were doing in front of the camera. "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 shitting the bed in this scene."
The actor had earlier opened up about his first day on The Odyssey and called it one of the most challenging moments of his career.
