Marvel’s SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY officially wrapped filming last year, but Tom Holland revealed that he did additional photography to make it even better.

“I can positively say that the stuff we’re doing, we don’t need,” Holland told GQ in a recent interview. “The movie works and sings as it is. We’re just adding the icing on the cake in certain areas. We’re finding some ways to add a little bit more humor. We’re layering in a villain plotline in a new way and some really fun stuff.”

“Four years after NO WAY HOME, a forgotten Peter Parker lives alone as a full-time Spider-Man until mounting pressure triggers a dangerous change and a powerful new enemy emerges,” a synopsis of the movie reads, per IMDB.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY will hit theaters on July 31 and is expected to be one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters. The trailer alone already made history, becoming the first to reach one billion views.

However, Holland has another film that will be released just a week before BRAND NEW DAY.

Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY will premieres on July 17. Along with Holland, the movie stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and Charlize Theron.

In his interview with GQ, Holland called THE ODYSSEY an “absolute masterpiece.”

“Chris Nolan’s movie is fantastic. It’s unlike anything that I’ve ever seen before. I think when I saw the movie, I found myself asking a question that I haven’t asked about a movie for a long time, which is, ‘How did you do that?'” the actor said.

“I think with CGI and stuff like that, we’ve become so accustomed to seeing these amazing things on screen and just kind of having the basic understanding that some very clever people and artistic people are able to do that on a computer,” he continued. “But Chris is obviously trying to do everything as practically as possible in camera.”

Holland went on to explain that when he watched the film, Nolan said that a lot of the action scenes weren’t CGI, but “camera effects” that were “very planned, very prepared.”

“So I think fans are going to be really, really blown away by the set pieces and sequences throughout the movie, because even as someone that was there on the day and was in the film, I was absolutely blown away by the scale, the scope, his ability to navigate such an intricate and heartfelt story in the middle of this insane kind of action movie,” Holland added. “So it’s one of my proudest achievements as an actor and I’m so touched that Chris gave me the opportunity to be in the film. And I really think that people are going to be floored by the film.”

It looks like Holland has a busy summer ahead!
