Elliot Page has once again joined forces with the Oscar-winning maestro Christopher Nolan, a full 15 years after their initial collaboration in the mind-bending masterpiece *Inception*. Page, who captivated audiences as the brilliantly astute young architectural prodigy Ariadne in the 2010 sci-fi sensation, took a moment to reflect on the evolution of his confidence in his craft over the past years.
"I was absolutely thrilled to even be considered for [*The Odyssey*] and to receive an invitation to reunite with him," the actor gushed during his appearance at the *X-Men: Days of Future Past* panel at New York City Comic Con. "Working with him on *Inception* was an absolute dream, and being part of that film holds a special place in my heart," Page shared, his eyes sparkling with nostalgia. "I was just over the moon, utterly ecstatic. I basically hopped on a plane, met with Chris, and we delved into the character. Then, I found myself sitting in a room, poring over the script. It was an absolute joy to reconnect with that creative energy."
The 38-year-old artist then went on to discuss how his personal growth and journey towards self-acceptance have profoundly shaped his approach to acting. "Returning to this now, as you might imagine, being more at ease with who I am has made projects like this even more fulfilling," Page mused, a warm smile playing on his lips. "To have the chance to immerse myself in a Chris Nolan experience again, well, it meant the world to me, in a rather selfish way."
Joining Page in this highly anticipated cinematic odyssey are a star-studded ensemble including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and many more luminaries of the silver screen.
The film is a bold adaptation of the ancient Greek epic poem of the same name, chronicling the epic 10-year odyssey of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, as he navigates his way home from the Trojan War.
*The Odyssey* is set to make its grand debut on July 17, 2026, promising audiences an unforgettable journey into the realms of myth and legend.
