As soon as he walked into the auditorium, a loud cheer echoed through the hall. Hearing such a response, Tom acknowledged the love and said, "I would like to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you for welcoming us with such open arms and happiness, excitement, grace and love." He further said, "I think no one brings energy to a movie theatre as you do in India. Thank you for supporting us, enjoying Chris' amazing work."

Even Nolan and Damon thanked the Mumbai audience for the response, and acknowledged their love with utmost respect.

What makes Tom admire Indian fans' enthusiasm?

Tom's statements came from his observation the response his previous films Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame received in India. If you remember, during Infinity War, a clip from a cinema hall, playing the movie, received such loud cheer and hooting that it even left director duo Joe and Anthony Russo amazed and inspired.

On the work front, Tom's The Odyssey will release in cinemas on July 17, and a week later, he will bring new adventures of the web-slinger superhero in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, scheduled for July 31, 2026.
