Tom Holland is a part of the all - star roll of Christopher Nolan ’s extremely - forebode next movie , and it will reunite him with another MCU actor .

Our Take On The Odyssey’s New Set Photos

The Photos Confirm A Continued Nolan Trend

Given Nolan ’s history as a movie maker and the recentOdysseyset photosshowing a nighttime hamlet battle , it ’s not surprising that the late photos sport a virtual wooden ship . Though the ship itself being hard-nosed is n’t unusual , with Ridley Scott building large ships forGladiator 2(2024),it is commendable that scenes are really being filmed upon it as it is on the water . The body of water activeness aboard ships inGladiator 2 , by line , was all shoot on ironical land .

Other than revealing Holland ’s in - character appearance , the images do n’t unveil too much about his specific fiber or functioning .
