Overview
- Holland told the Dish Podcast that he has at times privately believed films he promoted were "shit," saying the comment on the July 22 podcast came as he contrasted those experiences with the ease of selling projects he truly loves.
- He said he is "absolutely loving" promoting The Odyssey and Spider‑Man: Brand New Day and credited co‑star Anne Hathaway with teaching him press skills during The Odyssey tour.
- Holland did not name any specific past titles, and several outlets have since speculated about which films he might mean but offer no confirmation of particular movies.
- The remark arrived as The Odyssey posts strong box‑office and awards buzz and as Spider‑Man: Brand New Day prepares for its late‑July international rollout with heavy marketing controls, strong presales and some regional certification edits.
- Reaction online and in the trades split between praise for his honesty and concern that public dismissal of past work can be disrespectful to collaborators, a debate that could shape how studios and stars manage future press cycles.
