link 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? Or should I just wait for my favorite stifled incoherent chap to add his two drachma? |

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 |
