Just like he did with Oppenheimer in 2023, Christopher Nolan is delivering a large cast of stacked talent on the 2026 movies schedule with The Odyssey. Jon Bernthal is among the many people who are joining Matt Damon is this cinematic adaptation of Homer’s epic poem, with the MCU’s Punisher actor playing Menelaus, the Greek king of Sparta. Although we still haven’t seen any footage of Bernthal yet in Nolan’s The Odyssey, someone has pointed out a fun coincidence between the source material and his body of work that has me even more eager to see the movie.
X user @awoodustin shared a screenshot of a portion of The Odyssey where Menelaus says, “Let me tell you.” This was a quote tweet to a compilation video of Jon Bernthal saying variations of that same kind of line in many of his movies and TV shows, as well as a few interviews. See for yourself:
