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.
Not just him, the entire cast are big names. It will be weird seeing characters like that all played by A-listers. There comes a point where you’re too famous to not be seen as the character but yourself playing a character. For me the worst is Leo DiCaprio. I just keep seeing the actor regardless of the character he plays. Even Brad Pitt can sometimes disappear into his role somewhat.
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.
