Tom Holland revealed he mistakenly thought Christopher Nolan was unhappy with his acting on 'The Odyssey' set. He was worried by repeated cuts, only to learn the interruptions were due to the technical limitations of IMAX cameras, not his performance.

Tom Holland has revealed that he mistakenly believed director Christopher Nolan was unhappy with his performance on the first day of filming 'The Odyssey', before learning that the frequent interruptions were simply due to the technical limitations of IMAX cameras. As per Variety, Holland in a recent interview, recalled his first experience working with IMAX cameras and admitted he misunderstood why Nolan kept calling for cuts during a scene with co-star Jon Bernthal."Working with the Imax cameras for the first time is an experience," Holland explained, adding, "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?'" The actor said the repeated interruptions left him worried that Nolan was dissatisfied with the performances. "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 shit-ing the bed in this scene," he said, as quoted by Variety.
