Tom Holland proud of being part of 'The Odyssey': 'I feel like I did it'
Tom Holland is proud to say that being part of a Christopher Nolan film has long been one of his dreams as an actor, and that dream has come true with "The Odyssey."
In an exclusive interview with GMA Network's Lyn Ching, the British actor said he has long looked up to the director as well as his co-stars Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, and that working alongside them feels like a full-circle moment.
"I've looked up to them, and I've dreamt about being part of Christopher [Nolan]'s company and gracing that stage," he said.
"With Chris' guidance and Matt and Anne’s support, I feel really proud to be here today," he added. "I feel like I did it."
Tom also said audiences will get to experience "The Odyssey" in "all its glory."
"The message has never been more relevant today, and I hope that people are entertained," he said.
"I hope that people feel like they go on an adventure, and if that comes true, which I'm sure it will, it just means that we've done our jobs," he added.
In the official trailer, set after the Trojan War, Matt breathes life into Odysseus, who journeys across the sea while facing various obstacles, including the Cyclops Polyphemus and treacherous weather.
Another trailer showed the tension between Antinous (Robert Pattinson) and Telemachus (Tom), the son of Odysseus and Penelope (Anne).
A film adaptation of Homer's "Odyssey," the upcoming film is set for an international theatrical release on July 17.
