The Odyssey’s Elliot Page on Returning for New Christopher Nolan Movie Post-Transition

Page made an appearance at the X-Men: Days of Future Past panel at the 2025 New York Comic Con and reflected on reuniting with director Christopher Nolan after roughly 15 years. “I loved working with him on Inception and loved being a part of that movie,” Page said. “I was just completely jazzed and excited, and [I] basically went and met with Chris and talked about the part, then sat in a room and read the script. It was such a joy to come back.” (via Variety)

Page, who transitioned in 2020, underscored what made The Odyssey a “more enjoyable” experience. “To come back now, as you can imagine, being more comfortable in yourself makes these sorts of projects more enjoyable,” Page elaborated. “To get to have a Chris Nolan experience again now meant so much to me selfishly.”

Besides directing, Nolan developed the screenplay for the movie as an adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic of the same name. Page’s character in the movie remains under wraps. However, it has been revealed that the film’s cast also includes Matt Damon as Odysseus and Tom Holland as Telemachus, alongside Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, and Himesh Patel.

According to the official logline, the movie follows Odysseus as he “embarks on a long and perilous journey home following the Trojan War, chronicling his encounters with mythical beings such as the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch-goddess Circe.”

The production for The Odyssey took place between early and mid-2025 and spanned across multiple continents. The movie debuts in theaters in IMAX and other formats on July 17, 2026.
