Christopher Nolan’s take on The Odyssey is shaping up to be one of the biggest blockbusters of next year, if not the decade. Oppenheimer‘s box office success and near-sweep at the Academy Awards in 2023 left the world eager to see exactly how Nolan spends his proverbial blank check… but apparently, one of that film’s stars is thankful to not be included this time around.
In a recent interview with Variety, Cillian Murphy addressed the fact that he’s not among The Odyssey‘s massive ensemble cast, after previously starring in Oppenheimer‘s titular role and also appearing in Nolan’s Inception, Dunkirk, and The Dark Knight trilogy. The actor, whose attitude towards fame and Hollywood has made headlines a lot already, revealed that his absence is far from a tragedy, and that he’s actually “relieved” to not be involved in such a massive film.
