Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson's Roles in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey ExplainedPreviousNext

Christopher Nolan's film The Odyssey features Tom Holland as Telemachus, the young prince of Ithaca, and Zendaya as the goddess Athena, with their characters not sharing scenes. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, and Anne Hathaway as Penelope. Holland felt reassured when Robert Pattinson, his former co-star, was cast as Antonius, a suitor to Penelope, with whom Holland shares key scenes. The film adapts Homer's epic, focusing on Odysseus's decade-long journey home after the Trojan War.
