Our first take a look at Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey is right here, and you would be forgiven for considering he is simply any previous historic Greek soldier.
We have recognized for a short while now that Matt Damon can be showing in Christopher Nolan’s tackle Homer’s Odyssey, however yesterday on the official Odyssey film Twitter account, it was confirmed that he’d be enjoying Odysseus, the hero of the unique textual content. The tweet reveals {a photograph} of Damon in what I assume is a fancy dress take a look at for the character, and he definitely seems like what you’d anticipate of an historic Greek soldier, significantly with that helmet with the large, traditional pink plume down the center of it. Besides, as some customers have identified on-line, Odysseus has been described to have worn a helmet manufactured from leather-based and boar enamel, so it feels a bit secure of Nolan and co to simply go for the generic soldier look.
In response to The Hollywood Reporter, manufacturing is anticipated to start out later this month, which is probably going why we’re getting a take a look at Damon as Odysseus now. Damon is not the one huge title hooked up to the forged both, as Nolan has additionally introduced aboard Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Elliot Web page, Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth, Himesh Patel, Invoice Irwin, Benny Safdie, and Samantha Morton.
