@adityanimmalapudi2880 Interesting! Mikey Madison?!
Looking forward to this already
Same!
I love every single Nolan film that he's made so far. But im anxious with the odyssey mainly because Nolan hates cgi and the book is so full of mythical and fantastical aspect i dont want him to make it grounded like Wolfgang petersen troy
I think that's completely valid. I'm so intrigued to see how he handles the mythical element.
It's confirmed that tom Holland is the lead actor
Matt Damon and Tom Holland are the leads.
Moment
Um zendaya is black how would she be penelope if tom holland is temeculas
Zendaya is Helen, Hathaway is Penelope
There is no way Nolan is not going to tap in to the relationship of Tom and Zendaya, probably the most beloved couple in Hollywood at this moment. I would find it very strange that Zendaya would be working alongside her real life fiance, and may have to kiss another man on the same set. That would be strange. And because Tom is rumoured to be the main star, is it not more feasible that he would play Telemachus, and Zendaya would play Athena, with the main story following Telemachus and his struggles, with the secondary story following Matt’s Odysseus in flashbacks?
If your theory was right, surely Tom Holland would play the young Odysseus, and Zendaya then could play the young Penelope, as Tom Holland looks more like Matt Damon than Robert Patterson does? Matt has a very distinctive face. And not forgetting that Tom Holland is probably the most successful actor of all of the people in the movie, as far as box office success, and probably fame (Batman is not on-par with the success of Spider-Man). Tom is also a BAFTA award winning actor, if you haven’t seen him in The Crowded Room, you are certainly missing out on how good of an actor he is.
And as for chemistry, you keep saying that because Robert and Zendaya are in the Drama together, their chemistry has been proven, nothing has been proven because the movie isn’t even out yet? And you can’t get better chemistry than Tom and Zendaya, a real life couple, and a beloved fictional couple in Spider-Man and MJ, again, the Drama is not on-par with Spider-Man in anyway. Literally half the movie going audience would hate the idea of Robert and Zendaya being in a relationship in the movie, when Tom is in the movie also, honestly there would be literally hell, their fandom would go crazy. Sorry for the long rant, but personally, I really do think you’re off on that casting mate.
Grateful for such a well-thought out argument. Thank you for watching!
@ no problem mate, you just threw me for a loop when you said Robert would pay a young Odysseus haha. That would really make for some weird scenes with Telemachus (Tom) and his mother (Zendaya).
My predictions are MD as Odysseus, TH as Telemachus, RP as Eurymachus, Zendaya as Athena, AH as Penelope, NL as Calypso, RDJ as Zeus, JB as Polyphemus, CT as Circe and a cameo of Michael Caine as Odysseus' father

That was addressed in the video as Nolan is no stranger to aging up actors, and of course the possibility of employing an older actress is there.
Ultimately, nobody knows what is going on in Christopher Nolan’s brilliant mind. But one thing is for sure,, expect the unexpected!
