They’re going to need a table for three…

Jimmy Fallon has been invited to the upcoming dinner between on-screen ancient Greek prince Tom Holland and Viking soccer god, Erling Haaland, we hear. 

The Norway player had infamously snubbed the Hollywood star’s invitation to “hang out,” Holland told Fallon on a recent episode of “The Tonight Show.”

“Yes [I DM’d him], and I’ll tell you what… That is exactly the type of humbling experience that is important for actors,” Holland jokingly told Fallon.

The “Odyssey” star, 29, got the idea to reach out to Haaland, 25, after seeing him at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix sitting in a suite across from him, telling Fallon, “I just thought I’d shoot my shot, send him a text. I never imagined I’d talk about it on live television. But here we are.”

It seems Haaland had more time on his hands after his team was eliminated from the World Cup by England. “Dinner invitation accepted… A little late… Just name the place!” Haaland posted on social media.

But behind the scenes, we hear that Haaland has also told Fallon to join them. No word on when or where the dinner is going down.

Fallon has been on a roll between the World Cup and “The Odyssey.” His NBC show generated more than 650 million social views thanks to content related to the soccer tourney and the Christopher Nolan opus.

It was recently “The Tonight Show’s” biggest social media week of the year so far — views were up 39%, and an IG video of Fallon crooning a ditty about Holland and Haaland brought in more than 5.6 million likes, according to The Wrap.

After “The Odyssey,” Holland stars in the upcoming “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” out next Friday, and told “GMA” that his next film will be a Fred Astaire biopic. “I did my first few rehearsals recently. And it both filled me with excitement and absolute dread because I’ve got so much work to do to try and do Fred proud,” he said. The film is still in development.
