Yes!! That’s why I assume the keep talking about how they managed to get the studios to move the film.
It’s showing such night and day of there star power from 5 years ago compared to now. Managed to get hbo to get there biggest show to accoomadate filming for there lead so she can move to her other commitments. Then having the star of spiderman make Sony move the film so he can be apart of a Chris Nolan film.
All perfectly aligned for the only real young power Hollywood acting couple to have a blockbuster summer.
It’s genius
Totally. What is wild to me is how much their clout has grown in just the last two years. As fans, it's easy for us to say, "Of course they could get studios to move." But back in 2024, TZ were still building that influence.
Z really shifted the dial with Challengers and The Drama, proving twice that she's bank and a genuine global movie star. Tom's global status was already solid thanks to Marvel, but pulling in over a billion views for the Spider-Man 4 trailer is next level. Like this influence feels obvious now, but it's actually still pretty new when you think about it.
So getting HBO and Sony to work around them would have been a huge achievement and something they seem genuinely really proud of (as they should be.)
And like you said, it's kind of genius how it's all worked out. Blockbuster summer incoming.
