One of the most exciting things about a new Christopher Nolan movie being announced is learning who he cast. The director has always had stellar ensembles, from the star-powered Inception, to the murderer’s row of prestige actors in Oppenheimer. And, like many auteurs, Nolan often brings back his favorites.
With his upcoming film The Odyssey, an adaptation of the Homer classic led by Matt Damon, Nolan’s starry cast contains a few frequent collaborators: Damon was a scene-stealer in Interstellar and Oppenheimer, while Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson are both Nolan stalwarts. But in light of some revelatory comments from Nolan’s first Hollywood lead, the director has the chance to reunite with an actor who’s finally getting a well-deserved comeback.
