Charlize Theron talks about Nolan’s The Odyssey as she joins the team

Charlize Theron opened up about her shoot schedule for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. The actress will be the last one to join the ensemble cast on the sets.

She said, “I leave in a couple of weeks. I don’t know I am just gonna talk to Chris (Christopher Nolan) about it and will see where it goes. It’s super intimidating. I will be the last one to show up. I will be the new kid on the block. Everybody will know what they are doing and not me.”

The Odyssey follows the Greek champion Odysseus on his tumultuous journey home after the Trojan War. The story was first scribed by the ancient Greek poet Homer over 2,000 years ago and is one of the oldest stories still enjoyed by modern readers.

Nolan penned the script and serves as director and producer. His wife, Emma Thomas, will also produce under the pair’s Syncopy banner. Matt Damon is set to play the lead role in the film.

Damon appears alongside Tom Holland, Mia Goth, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal and John Leguizamo.
