After 'The Odyssey's' First Look At Matt Damon's Odysseus, Fans Think They've Figured Out Who Tom Holland Is Playing

When Christopher Nolan makes a movie, expectations are high. When Christopher Nolan decides to make "The Odyssey," one of the most legendary stories still told, expectations are going to explode. When Christopher Nolan makes "The Odyssey" with a cast that includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya... just forget it. People’s minds are exploding.

When it was recently confirmed that Nolan’s new project was an adaptation of "The Odyssey," many wondered if Tom Holland, whose casting in the film had already been announced, would be playing the lead role of Odysseus, as the understanding was that Holland had a major role in the project. However, Universal Pictures confirmed this morning with a single shot that the role of Odysseus is actually set to be played by another previously mentioned member of the cast: frequent Nolan collaborator Matt Damon (who, it must be said, looks incredible).
