Tom Holland celebrates summer blockbusters

Entities: Spider‑Man: Brand New Day (film) · The Odyssey (film) · Anne Hathaway · Tom Holland · Zendaya

Overview

During late July 2026 Holland continued his Dish Podcast interview, describing several earlier movies as “shit” and noting the difficulty of promoting them. He said promoting projects he believes in—*The Odyssey* and the upcoming *Spider‑Man: Brand New Day*—feels like a “victory lap.” He highlighted *The Odyssey*’s rapid box‑office growth, reaching over $300 million in its first week and surpassing $600 million by its second weekend, and confirmed *Spider‑Man: Brand New Day*’s worldwide release on 31 July 2026 with opening forecasts of $180‑$250 million. Holland also praised co‑star Anne Hathaway for interview advice and reiterated his enthusiasm for the films, while media speculated about which titles he labeled “shit.” He again noted his wife and co‑star Zendaya’s involvement in both projects, underscoring the rarity of a married couple headlining two major summer releases.
