"The Odyssey" will likely have cast of stars.Zendaya and Tom Holland will star together in the film. David M. Benett/Dave Benett/WireImage Outlets have reported in October and November before it was public what the film would be that several A-listers were in the frame for Nolan's next project.Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter said, citing unnamed sources, that Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, who starred in Nolan's "Interstellar," would feature.Hathaway confirmed the casting when speaking to Women's Wear Daily in early December."I have so many feelings about it that I don't even know how to articulate. It fills me with so much joy, and I don't know how to talk about it," she said. "I love Chris and Emma Nolan so much, and to be invited into their world is, I mean, I know from experience it's one of the best places you can find yourself. Getting to be invited twice really felt like something, three felt like it would've been greedy, so I never let myself hope that that would happen, and that it has makes me emotional, to be perfectly honest. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right."Nobody has said which role Hathaway or any of the actors might play.Penelope, Odysseus' wife, is the most significant woman in the source material, along with Athena, the goddess of wisdom who watches over Odysseus.Deadline and THR also reported, citing unnamed sources, that another Nolan veteran, Robert Pattinson, who starred in "Tenet," will also star in the film.The publications also said Zendaya, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong'o, and Charlize Theron would be in the cast.Major characters include Odysseus himself, the legendarily cunning hero, as well as his son Telemachus, the beguiling witch Circe, the monstrous one-eyed cyclops, and Poseidon, the sea god who wants Odysseus to suffer.On December 18, Holland said on an episode of the "Dish" podcast that he is in the film but doesn't "know anything about" the plot, which was at the time a secret."I'm super excited. Everything is very hush-hush. I met with him it was awesome. He kind of loosely pitched what it was, and I'm sure when he's ready, he'll announce what it is," he said.He seemed to confirm that Pattinson, Zendaya, and Damon would be part of the cast with him.This would be the first film Zendaya and Holland had worked together on since 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home."
