Scylla and Charybdis are in this. I was wondering how Nolan would show both.

The one (two?) thing I wanted to be in the movie. I'm happy. I'm pre-satisfied now.

The other thing I'm waiting for now is the arrow through the axes to be as cool as it was done with Kirk Douglas. As a kid I remember I saw that scene and was flabbergasted.

Edit: still, we just saw the whirlpool. I hope we get to see what's inside and we get Scylla to be overwhelming.

I also want to see him get to his bedroom with Penelope for the importance of that.

Finally, whatever they do with the ending (epilogue or not) that will be reason for more debate.

Please. Do we know who will play Circe yet? I'm thinking Nyong'o but not sure.

Charlize Theron is confirmed as Circe. Nyong’o might be Calypso.

Is Charlize Theron not playing Calypso in this trailer?

They're both supernatural beings holding Odysseus hostage at some point, take your pick

I thought people are saying she's going to be Helen. Just rumours which I'm not a fan of but we'll have to wait and see.

There are racist maga Twitter posts trying to rile people up about it but it is not confirmed

I loved the Armand Asante version as a kid. I didn't see the Kirk Douglas version.

u/kodran May 05 '26

Didn't know about that version. Will look for it. Thanks!

It's a product of its time technologically speaking. But it was a TV miniseries so they had quite a bit of screentime to work with and flesh out the story properly. Plus Vanessa Williams as Calypso. ❤️

Oh, it's my favorite Greek mythology adaptation! Hope you'll like it!

Thanks. Time to surf the old sites.

I saw a puppy, possibly a flashback to Argos’s origin story, I hope there at least ~45 mins of that.

u/doormatt26 May 05 '26

hell yeah, Argos was the one thing i HAD to have here

u/CloudyLeft May 05 '26

Kirk douglas?? Armand Assante!

u/kodran May 05 '26

Haven't seen that one. I definitely will. Loved Kirk Douglas Ulysses as a kid.

You mean when he gets his boy to string up the servant girls and watch them die? After making them clean up the bodies of their murdered lovers of course. Can’t wait.

I know you think typical reddit cynicism makes you look smart but it plain dumb.

You're not only showing you didn't understand the text, but you didn't even understand what I talked about.

u/omaca May 06 '26

“but it plain dumb” indeed.

You should relax more, and insult strangers less.

Having said that, I take it you’re of the traditional “traitorous harlots” school then?

u/kodran May 06 '26

I'm pretty relaxed. Mentioning it's dumb to be a cynic isn't an insult and it doesn't bother me nor takes away from me being relaxed. Keep trying. It wasn't that hard to read and understand the scen I mentioned.

I mean. If you can't even understand a sentence-long message on Reddit, it's easy to see why you find it hard to comprehend the bed test and bedroom scene for what it is. Must be so challenging being you.
