Tom Holland discusses his experiences promoting different films, describing recent press tours for “The Odyssey” and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” as comparatively easy. Speaking on the July 22 episode of the “Dish Podcast” with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, Holland says he is enjoying the current publicity cycle because he likes the movies.
In contrast, Holland comments that some of his earlier work was harder to promote. He uses strong language to describe certain projects, saying they are “s–t” and that viewers “shouldn’t” watch them, while also acknowledging that he is proud of his summer blockbusters. The remarks frame his position as an assessment of individual films rather than a critique of the press process itself.
The interviews place Holland’s comments within the context of film promotion and personal preferences, highlighting a difference between projects he feels confident promoting and those he would not recommend. Both outlets report the same core claim: Holland characterizes some past films negatively and contrasts them with his current releases.
