      My favorite way to say Matt Damon for the internal laugh. Also enjoy the story of how the puppet didn’t turn out right so we got what we all laugh at for the Matt Damon puppet.

    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.

    What was it he said in the crypto ad? Fortune favours the brave or something?

    Anyway, if you pre-order tickets at IMAX you get exclusive access to the Odysseus’ Crew Discord, and a VIP presale for Odysseycoin, as well as your very own Matt Damon© NFT! Nice scam shilling, Matt.
