What This Latest Set Photo Means For The Odyssey
It Remains Unclear Who Bernthal Will Be Playing
Not much is known aboutThe Odyssey, apart from Damon being cast as Odysseus. However, theories surrounding Holland and other actors have been swirling for a while. Based on the latest set photo,predicting who Bernthal is playing may be hard, especially considering how manycharacters are inThe Odyssey. It has been speculated that Holland is portraying Telemachus, but Bernthal, known for his role inDaredevilandThe Punisher, could potentially appear as one of the men aiding Odysseus’s son, including Menelaus or Nestor.
The Odyssey Is Continuing A Christopher Nolan Tradition That Will Make His Oppenheimer Follow-Up A Must-See In Theaters
Following the success of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan is moving onto a new project, an adaptation of The Odyssey, which has an exciting update.
There are numerous suitors intent on marrying Penelope inThe Odyssey, among them being the antagonistic Antinous, whom Bernthal could play as well. Given what he is seen wearing in the picture and how closely it resembles combat gear,it seems less likely that he would portray a Greek god, including Poseidon or Zeus, who appear in the original story. Because so much of the movie has been kept under wraps, it may be some time before every role is revealed, butBernthal’s previous workdemonstrates that he can play a range of characters.
Our Take On The Odyssey Set Photo
The Movie May Be Less Stylized In Approach
While it’s unknown who most of the cast will play, the pictures suggest that Nolan’s upcoming film, following the Oscar-winningOppenheimer, may not be overly stylized. Since the image of Bernthal and other set photos came out, some audiences have expressed disappointment with the costuming, but these are only small peeks, so it will be interesting to see how everything appears in the finished product. Nolan has a strong track record when it comes to creating visually impressive movies, and a lot ofThe Odysseyhas yet to be filmed or teased via set photos.
