Okay. Let's guess.
Here are 3 verified.
Matt Damon is Odysseus.
Tom Holland is Telemachus
Charlize Theron is Circe. (Not Cersei 😄!)

Now some guesswork.
Zendaya as a Siren? (What was the song the Sirens sang?) Or Calypso?
Anne Hathaway as Penelope?

Any guesses?
Who will play Cyclops?

I am not putting this in any Fantasy Boards, because I firmly believe in the historical and literal accuracy of Homer.
Pity there doesn't seem to be any boar's tooth helmets.

Rebecca Ferguson (Paul Muad'Dib's mom) as grey-eyed Athena?

No. You have to go with the list in the Wikipedia link of already confirmed cast.
Sorry. 🤷

Bleeker Street's 2024 production of the tale bombed. Maybe name recognition will save this version.

The Wikipedia article gives a list of actors in the movie.
I'm just asking our literate audience here to match the already confirmed cast with the characters in the historical records.

Should I just give up? Deleted by Moderator

It does say that Anne Hathaway will be Penelope.

So they updated it since the last time I looked.

Yeah. That's the ticket. They updated it! 🙄

It's a great looking cast. Fortunately Nolan doesn't like to be pretentious or provocative with his casting, so I doubt we'll see John Leguizamo as Athena.

My guesses:

John Bernthal – Menelaua

Lupita N'yongo – Athena or Nausicaä

Samatha Morton – Athena

Zenadaya – Calypso

Hard pass for me.

Mr. Bean for Odysseus, can there be anyone else?

I am cautiously optimistic. Not a fan of Dunkirk or the Batman movies, but liked Memento, Inception and Insomnia.
