Overwhelmed on a Demanding Night Scene, Zendaya Reveals Holland Supported Her During Joint Odyssey Appearance
Screening and Q&A in Los Angeles
A conversation with the stars followed the screening at the David Geffen Theater. During the Q&A, Zendaya recalled a nerve-racking moment from filming Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic, in which she plays Athena.
A demanding night shoot
Zendaya described filming a night scene in IMAX alongside performers she admired, including background and stunt performers. She said she felt overwhelmed by the moment and the people around her. “I felt overwhelmed, to say the least,” Zendaya said. She remembered arriving at the night shoot and thinking it was a “pinch me moment.”
Holland offered encouragement
The couple had previously discussed supporting each other while working on the film. At The Odyssey’s New York premiere in July, Zendaya told Extra she was “very grateful” Holland was there for her first day on a Chris Nolan set.
