Tom Holland admits promoting some of his movies were hard because "they were sh**"
Washington DC, July 26
Tom Holland admitted that while some movies have been "really easy" to promote, there were certain films in his filmography that weren't as easy to promote, reported Deadline.
The actor, whose movies 'The Odyssey' and 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' are in theatres this summer, admitted that while those press tours have been "really easy," some of his past films were "shit" and not as easy to promote.
"I'm absolutely loving it. When you're doing press for movies you're really proud of, it's really easy. Because when they ask you questions about why people should go and watch this movie, you're not lying to anyone. You really think people should go see it," said Tom Holland as quoted by Deadline.
Holland continued, "I've had experiences before when people say, 'Why should you see this movie?' And in the back of your mind, you're like, 'You shouldn't, because it's shit,'" as quoted by Deadline.
With 'The Odyssey' crossing the 300M USD global mark in its first week, Holland has also been promoting his fourth MCU solo outing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, hitting theatres on July 31.
The Odyssey follows Odysseus (Matt Damon) through the incredible trials and mythical encounters he faces on his decade-long journey home to wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Holland) after the Trojan War.
As for his upcoming movie, in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', Holland reprises his role as the titular web-slinger alter ego of Peter Parker, four years after Dr Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) spell that made the world forget him. Now anonymously protecting New York City as Spider-Man while his powers go through a strange and dangerous evolution, reported Deadline.

I wish more actors had this kind of integrity. But honestly, with ticket prices these days, we deserve transparency. The Odyssey sounds epic though—Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway? Count me in!
In India, we usually don't see our stars criticizing their own films in public. It's refreshing to see such candor from a global star. Though I wonder—how does his PR team handle these comments? 😅
Tom Holland is one of the most genuine actors in Hollywood today. His honesty just makes me respect him more. That said, I hope 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is actually good—I'm so excited for the Spidey comeback! 🤞
While I appreciate the honesty, this feels a bit unprofessional. Actors are hired to promote films, and publicly calling some of your past work "shit" seems disrespectful to the crew who worked on them. But I get that he's just being real.
Interesting perspective from a global star. In Bollywood, our actors rarely admit when a film is bad—they just keep promoting. Tom's approach is refreshingly different. I'm excited for 'The Odyssey' though—the mythological angle sounds fascinating! 🏛️
Tom Holland has always been smart about his career. I think
