‘Shōgun’ Star Cosmo Jarvis Joins Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ With Filming Underway In Morocco


Christopher Nolan's anticipated epic stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and more.

Filming is underway in Morocco (before the team heads to Sicily) on the anticipated project, whose cast is led by Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Benny Safdie, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Himesh Patel, Elliott Page, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, Jesse Garcia, Will Yun Lee and Corey Hawkins. As one of the foundational poetic texts of Western literature, the story follows Odysseus, King of Ithaca on his dangerous journey home after the Trojan war. The ancient Greek epic illustrates a true hero’s journey as the titular figure faces Polyphemus the Cyclops, Sirens, the nymph Calypso and the witch goddess Circe in the treacherous oceans that separate him from his island home and wife Penelope, who unravels a wedding train that she weaves every night in the event that one of the suitors who have taken over her home ends up marrying her should her husband not return.
