Tom Holland had the perfect response after being asked whether Zendaya's Athena loved Matt Damon's Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, leaving Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson in stitches with a joke about their real-life marriage before the conversation shifted back to Homer's epic.

The moment unfolded during WIRED's The Odyssey interview, where the cast answered the publication's 50 Most Searched Questions about the film and its legendary source material.

While answering fan-submitted questions during WIRED's interview, the cast of The Odyssey was asked whether Zendaya's Athena loved Matt Damon's Odysseus romantically. Before anyone else had the chance to weigh in, Holland jumped in with a playful response that referenced his recent marriage to the actress.

"No, because she's married to me," Holland quipped.

Holland's quick-witted response immediately caught everyone by surprise, turning what began as a straightforward discussion about Greek mythology into a playful nod to his real-life relationship with Zendaya during the WIRED interview. The actor and his Spider-Man co-star recently tied the knot, making the joke feel all the more fitting during the cast's lighthearted conversation.

The joke immediately landed with the rest of the cast, drawing laughter from his castmates. However, the question of the nature of the bond between Athena and Odysseus remains.

In a sea of mythological characters, Athena, true to her nature, has managed to stand out even in the Christopher Nolan adaptation. From how Zendaya came to play the role to what the role actually entails remain interesting tales. The latter of which, the cast is choosing to save for the big screen.

 When asked why Athena chooses to guide Odysseus,  Matt Damon carefully sidestepped the question, suggesting that the answer was more complicated than it seemed while avoiding any major spoilers from the film.

"This is difficult in the context of our movie without giving things away. Because does Athena choose Odysseus or does Odysseus choose Athena?...Spoiler alert. That's all we can say."Damon said on WIRED.

The playful exchange continued when the cast was asked what Zendaya's Athena teaches Holland's Telemachus, with Damon joking, "True love," before Holland simply agreed.

The exchange offered another glimpse into the effortless chemistry shared by The Odyssey cast off-screen, balancing playful banter with just enough mystery to keep audiences intrigued about Christopher Nolan's epic adaptation. As anticipation for the film continues to grow, moments like these are making its press tour nearly as entertaining as the adventure awaiting viewers on the big screen.
