The Spider-Man star quizzed Cumberbatch about the preparation, demands and challenges of stepping into the shoes of Phil Burbank in Jane Campion's Netflix film, which casts him as a charismatic yet troubled rancher.

He went on to say that he came to watch the film from a “privileged standpoint” because he knows Cumberbatch so well. “When I meet you in the beginning of the film, I’m like, ‘Whoa, that’s not the Benedict that I know. What on Earth is going on here?’ For the first time in knowing you, I really, like, hated you. I thought you were horrible and so, just, grotesque and awful.
The pair then did a deep dive into a conversation about toxic masculinity, repressed sexuality, the root cause of Phil’s behavior, Holland’s interpretation of the story, and the performances delivered by Cumberbatch’s castmates. Holland asked Cumberbatch to open up about his process in reaching the level of authenticity the role required in that he was playing the banjo, riding horses, rolling cigarettes, tying rope and so forth.
They then talked about the process of working with McPhee as he and Cumberbatch dance through tense moments together. “Working with Kodi was just a dream, and because we were more intimate in that relationship, I was able to be far more on the same page in a way with Kodi. It was the one or two times that I let my guard down as being a character all day, every day because I felt we both needed to get that dance so right at the end,” he said.
