Spider-Man: No Way Home's Tom Holland revealed that Elizabeth Olsen gave him some valuable advice about honesty and standing up for yourself.
In an interview with GQ, Holland explained how he voiced his opinions on the set of the movie when he felt that something wasn't quite working. "I actually learned this from Elizabeth Olsen," he stated. "She gave me an amazing piece of advice: 'No' is a full sentence. 'No' is enough."
Holland went on to talk about how he had to stand during the filming of the final battle sequence of the movie when he thought it didn’t feel genuine. "I kept stopping and being like, 'I'm so sorry, I just don't believe what I'm saying,'" he explained. "We [Holland and director Jon Watts] sat down, we went through it, and we came up with a new idea. Then we pitched it to the writers, they rewrote it, and it works great."
Holland and Olsen have starred alongside each other in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Olsen will star in the upcoming film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, directed by Sam Raimi.
Olsen is aware of the pressure of carrying a Marvel project, as she recently starred in the Disney+ series WandaVision. This show followed Wanda in a pocket dimension she created in her grief over the loss of Vision. There, in Westview, they could be together and live out their perfect lives. The show was met with critical acclaim and has since spawned a spinoff series centered on Kathryn Hahn’s character Agatha, titled Agatha: House of Harkness.
Spider-Man: No Way Home sees Peter Parker dealing with the aftermath of his identity being revealed to the world. He turns to Doctor Strange for help, but a spell goes horribly wrong and begins to rip open the multiverse. The movie sees the return of Benedict Cumberbatch as Strange, Zendaya as MJ, Jacob Batalon as Ned, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May and Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan. Additionally, Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe and Thomas Haden Church will return from Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, with Jamie Foxx and Rhys Ifans returning from The Amazing Spider-Man universe.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is in theaters on Dec 17.
