After the massive success of Oppenheimer, it looks like Christopher Nolan is all set to direct his next ambitious venture, The Odyssey. Set for a 2026 release, the film will star Matt Damon as Odysseus, the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, on his perilous journey home after the Trojan War.
The ensemble cast for the film was recently announced, featuring an impressive lineup of actors like Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, and several other renowned actors. The cast has left fans hyped, with many already predicting it to be the best film of 2026.
Hilarious Fan Reactions
Fans were left quite stunned by the star-studded cast. Let's take a look at some of their most hilarious reactions.
"No Pedro Pascal?" asked a fan.
Well, Pedro Pascal has become a staple in almost every movie and TV show. Some might even call him the male version of Zendaya. So, as this fan points out, how is he not part of the massive star cast? Mind = boggled!
"Still not as big of a celeb cast as invincible," another wrote.
As this user points out, no matter how massive The Odyssey's star cast may be, it still doesn’t compare to the hit animated series Invincible, which features some of the biggest celebrities in show business lending their voices.
"Am I the only one who doesn’t enjoy this star studded of a cast?" wondered another.
Many fans aren’t too thrilled about the massive star cast, believing that too many chefs can spoil the broth. But what if those chefs are all Michelin-starred?

Whoever cast this movie deserves a raise so big that they’ll never have to work another day in their life. After all, they managed to assemble one of the most impressive star casts in film history!
"That's like a $100+ million cast alone. Whats that like half the budget for the whole movie...?" a user pointed.
If Christopher Nolan is casting 19 popular and acclaimed actors in his next movie, imagine how much their combined fees would be! The studio must have set aside at least $200 million for the cast alone.
"Spider-Man, MJ, Batman and The Punisher walk into a bar," joked another.
Looks like we’ve got Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Batman, The Punisher, Catwoman, and so many others all in one movie. Who knew Nolan would pull off an Avengers and Justice League crossover!
Leave it to Christopher Nolan to fit 19 famous actors into one movie! And if he managed this for The Odyssey, just imagine how much bigger the star cast could be for his next film!
