Tom Holland's first-day misunderstanding on 'The Odyssey' set stemmed from IMAX film limits, not director's displeasure

Tom Holland's first day filming Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' led him to a misunderstanding about the director's reaction. According to Variety, Holland thought Nolan hated his performance because the director kept calling cut. But the frequent stops were actually due to a technical constraint of the IMAX cameras used for the film.
