Canadian actor Elliot Web page spoke to his newest venture, Christopher Nolan’s extremely star-studded interpretation of The Odyssey, throughout an “X-Males: Days of Future Previous” at New York Comedian-Con, sharing simply how particular this reunion with the blockbuster director is, marking their first movie collectively in fifteen years since 2010’s Oscar profitable Inception, in addition to their first movie since Web page’s gender transition.
Of the casting course of itself, Web page shared the next:
I used to be so excited to be considered for it and to be requested to come back again to work with him. I cherished working with him on Inception and cherished being part of that film. So, yeah, I used to be simply fully jazzed and excited and principally went and met with Chris and talked concerning the half after which sat within the room and skim the script and it was, in fact, an enormous sure.
We nonetheless don’t know which character from Greek mythology Web page will carry to life, and he even said, “Sadly, I can’t say a lot”, on the subject in the course of the dialogue, however did verify he “obtained to go to some fairly superior locations” whereas capturing on location earlier than including, “It’s gonna be epic.”
What we do know for positive is that the movie is slated to hit theaters on July 17, 2026 (we love an enormous summer time launch), and can see Matt Damon within the titular position of Odysseus with Tom Holland enjoying his son, Telemachus, and Charlize Theron as goddess and witch Circe (not the identical one from “Sport of Thrones”).
Different large names who’ve been confirmed as a part of the forged embody Anne Hathaway, Zendaya (LOVE to see her and her fiancé in a venture collectively), Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, and John Leguizamo, however at this cut-off date, we don’t know which roles they’ll be enjoying.
Clearly with an historical epic like this, we already know who the principle characters are, so we are able to guess certainly one of these mega stars (possibly Hathaway?) might be enjoying Odysseus’ devoted spouse, Penelope, who should fend off a slew of suitors whereas ready for her husband to return residence from battle.
We’ll positively see appearances from Greek gods and goddesses like Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon, and on the magical creature entrance, we are able to anticipate to see nymph Calypso, the legendary Cyclops, in addition to these pesky Sirens (who even Taylor Swift alluded to in her newest music video).
So, we, the viewers can solely anticipate one of the best of one of the best from this venture, (the final time anybody remade a Greek epic we obtained to see Brad Pitt’s bare butt), however for Web page, this venture holds an much more particular private which means:
It was such a pleasure to come back again, and to come back again now, as you may think about, being extra simply, snug in your self makes these kinds of, you recognize, initiatives extra fulfilling. Simply waking up every single day and going to work. So I form of get to have a Chris Nolan expertise once more now. That really actually simply meant a lot to me, like, yeah, selfishly.
We love the connection between making artwork, and an artist’s private journey. This film actually can’t arrive quickly sufficient!
