Christopher Nolan’s next big project might be unlike anything he’s done before — a grand adaptation of The Odyssey. While official details remain scarce, a casting list allegedly leaked to Greek media has sparked speculation about who will bring Homer’s legendary characters to life.
Confirmed Cast Members?
According to the leaked document, several A-list actors are already attached to the project:
-
Matt Damon as Odysseus
-
Tom Holland as Telemachus
-
Zendaya as Athena
-
Charlize Theron as Circe
-
Anne Hathaway as Penelope
-
Benny Safdie as Agamemnon
-
Lupita Nyong’o as Clytemnestra
This potential casting lineup suggests an ambitious and star-studded approach to retelling one of the most famous epics in history.

More Stars Yet to Be Placed
The leak also mentioned a group of high-profile actors whose roles remain undisclosed, including Mia Goth, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Samantha Morton, Bill Irwin, Himesh Patel, Corey Hawkins, and Elliot Page. Given Nolan’s history of assembling powerhouse ensembles, it’s no surprise that he may be lining up another all-star cast.
For now, Warner Bros. and Nolan’s team have yet to confirm any of the casting choices. Whether this leaked list is accurate or just an early draft remains to be seen. However, with Greek media reporting on it first, many fans are hopeful that some of these casting choices will be made official soon.
