Actor Elliot Page reflected on his involvement in Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey during a television interview, describing his reaction to the screenplay as profoundly moving. Page, reuniting with Nolan after their collaboration on Inception, highlighted the script's complexity and emotional substance, and praised the director's focused and precise approach on set. In the film, Page plays Sinon, a soldier from Ithaca, and recalled performing practical stunt work including sequences featuring the Trojan Horse.

The adaptation has achieved substantial commercial success, setting box office records and driving ongoing ticket demand. The film's casting has generated controversy from certain political voices, with Elon Musk and others publicly criticising the selection of Page and co-star Lupita Nyong'o, with Musk proposing to develop an alternative AI-generated version. The film's commercial momentum and positive reception have continued despite this opposition.
