Elliot Page joins the cast as Sinon, a Greek soldier best known as the mastermind behind the Trojan Horse deception that seals Troy’s fate. In Nolan’s adaptation, he’s reimagined as a cousin of Odysseus.
The Odyssey marks Elliot’s second time working with Nolan, having appeared in 2009’s Inception. On getting the chance to work with the director again, Elliot said, ‘To come back now, as you can imagine, being more just comfortable in yourself makes these sort of projects more enjoyable. To get to have a Chris Nolan experience again now – that actually really just meant to much to me.’
Elliot became the fourth-youngest nominee for the Academy Award for Best Actress at the time when he was nominated for the coming-of-age comedy Juno in 2007, going on to star in H_ard Candy_ and two X-Men movies. Since coming out as a transgender man in 2020, Elliot’s has starred in TV shows such as The Umbrella Academy and Tales of the City. He also co-wrote and directed the 2023 indie drama Close to You.
