“The Odyssey” director Christopher Nolan joined Stephen Colbert on Monday night’s episode of “The Late Show.” During his interview, he discussed working with Tom Holland and watching Anne Hathaway in “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” He also likened Homer, the original author of “The Odyssey,” to the MCU.

While discussing “Spider-Man” star Holland, who plays Odysseus’ son Telemachus in “The Odyssey,” Nolan said he’s probably among the last filmmakers in Hollywood to fully realize his skills as an actor. But now that they’ve filmed together, Nolan said he would be more than happy to get Holland on another project.
