Christopher Nolan’s next film: ‘The Odyssey’

[Aidan]

Yep that’s right, Nolan is adapting Homer’s work for the big screen

 

[Macsun]

This is the first Nolan film i’ve been excited for in YEARS!

 

[heavymetalgaga]

This has boundless potential and I'm pumped for Hathaway and Nyong'o.

However, Tom Holland and Zendaya's casting?

Tom Holland as Telemachus is a nightmare but the rest should serve

 

[drewsky]

This is gonna be like 6 hours long dd.

 

[RHOPJ]

This will be cinema.

 

[New Flame]

I'm quite surprised that the movie will be released in July 2026. It's not a long wait at all. Then again there's always been a gap of 2 or 3 years between his movies.

Eva Green as Circe please.

 

[Leopold]

Who is the main cast?

EDIT:

At a guess...

Matt Damon as Odysseus;
Anne Hathaway as Penelope;
Zendaya as Telemachus' love interest;
Robert Pattinson as Telegonus? Or some evil king?
Lupita Nyong'o as Calypso, or Eurycleia?
Charlize Theron as Circe.

This will be delicious but the casting isn’t very interesting.

Would rather Nolan tackle the Iliad instead but the Odyssey has much more interesting roles for women so I’m good with this.

 

[DamC]

Given Nolan's obsession with time this is an obvious choice

Nolan is a very fast worker. Oppenheimer was initially set to take 85 shooting days but he cut it down to 57 so he could use more of the budget on sets and post-production.

Excited to see how he's going to pull this off with no CGI.

[happiestgirl]

I'm just not seeing it for him.

Stream The Return (2024) with Ralph Fiennes instead!

The cast for this is looking insane.

Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, Mia Goth, Corey Hawkins, Jesse Garcia, Will Yun Lee, Rafi Gavron, Shiloh Fernandez, Nick E Tarabay, Jimmy Gonzales, Maurice Compte, Michael Vlamis, Iddo Goldberg

Zendaya, Anne, Lupita, Charlize, Samantha and Mia is quite the mother convention, so hopefully Nolan sees the criticism on his female characters and they have great roles.

You’ve got Penelope, Athena and Calypso who should all be major parts.
