A dive into the ambitious new adaptation of The Odyssey, featuring an ensemble cast that reimagines Homer’s timeless tale through character, consequence, and cosmic law. From the burden of heroism to the fragile threads of family, this conversation explores how ancient myth becomes urgent, human storytelling.

Sit down with Matt Damon (Odysseus), Anne Hathaway (Penelope), Tom Holland (Telemachus), John Leguizamo (Eumaeus), Himesh Patel (Eurylochus), and writer‑director Christopher Nolan, along with Lupita Nyong’o (Helen of Troy) and Jon Bernthal (Menelaus). Additional reflections come from Benny Safdie (Agamemnon), Zendaya (Athena), Samantha Morton (Circe), and Damon again on the power of this cast.
