I was already excited for Christopher Nolan's next epic after hearing Tom Holland was involved — but then when we learned Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o, and even more of our favorite stars were going to costar? I didn't know I could feel so much excitement. The new movie is an adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey. And after Gladiator 2, the ancient world has never been hotter.
Here's everything you need to know about Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey cast. Watch the movie in theaters now.
