    I like Matt Damon as an actor, generally. But, I just don’t see him as Odysseus. His voice, demeanor and look just don’t fit. I feel like this is more to throw a famous actor in the title role to draw crowds.

    The character is bigger than any actor. It’d be great to see an unknown/lesser known actor in the role.

      It being a Nolan movie, I kinda wanna see Cillian Murphy in the role. Does he seem like a perfect fit? No, but he’s got at least some range, having played both badass characters (Peaky Blinders) and scaredy cats (Inception). Plus Nolan clearly loves working with him.
