After starring in the blockbuster Spider-Man film franchise, Tom Holland says appearing in The Odyssey has given him the “confidence” to take his career to the next level.
Holland, 30, is the highest-grossing actor of all time, with his films earning over $16 billion worldwide. He dominated 2026 with the two most successful films of the year. The latest Spider-Man installment, Brand New Day, has taken in $2.5 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing movie in history. The Odyssey has grossed $1.8 billion.
At a special screening of Christopher Nolan’s epic film on Wednesday, November 11, Holland explained the positive impact of portraying Odysseus’s son.

“I’d probably say it’s confidence and an ambition to see what else is out there for me,” he said at the event held at the 65-foot-high BFI IMAX theater in London.
Holland portrayed Telemachus, the son of Odysseus (Matt Damon) and Penelope (Anne Hathaway). The all-star cast also features Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, and Holland’s wife, Zendaya.

The English actor said working with Nolan, 56, a two-time Oscar winner, has given him the perfect mindset to propel his career higher.
“I’ve been an admirer of Chris since I can remember, and to have the opportunity to work with him and to have his approval, and to sit in his house and watch his movie and to get a pat on the back, for me, just was like the perfect way for me to start whatever it is that I’m doing next,” Holland explained.
“He’s given me a level of confidence as an actor that I don’t know if I had before, and I’m very grateful that that is something that I can take away from this.”
Holland’s next project is starring in the title role in a biopic of one of the greatest dancers of all time, the late Fred Astaire. It’s a family affair, as he’s serving as a co-producer and working with his brother, Harry Holland, an executive producer. The production co-stars Sabrina Carpenter and Margaret Qualley.
