Pattinson could undoubtedly pull off playing Odysseus inNolan’s next movie afterOppenheimer. He does have some stiff competition in the cast, though, and it would be plausible if Matt Damon were to star as the main hero.

Only time will tell what Pattinson’s role is inThe Odyssey, which will premiere on June 04, 2025.
