In the ongoing development of Christopher Nolan’s film adaptation of The Odyssey, further information about the characters and actors involved is coming to light, with Robert Pattinson’s role being one of the latest updates.
Drawing inspiration from Homer’s Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie is rapidly gaining attention as one of the most thrilling productions currently underway. (Who would have thought that an epic Greek-style tale would be associated with the director of Oppenheimer, yet here we find ourselves.)
The stellar lineup of actors is another cause for anticipation, featuring big names such as Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, and Robert Pattinson, who are all slated to appear in the upcoming film.
A potential “spoiler” about Robert Pattinson’s character could have been accidentally disclosed, hinting strongly that this role would suit him perfectly as the Batman actor.
Robert Pattinson rumored to be playing Hermes
As reported by the Italian magazine Chi, Robert Pattinson is rumored to take on the role of Hermes in The Odyssey. If these reports are accurate, this could potentially mark an unconventional choice for him among his career roles so far.
In Greek mythology, Hermes is characterized as a swift messenger and herald among the gods dwelling on Mount Olympus. This deity has the unique ability to traverse both the realm of gods and mortals effortlessly, and he’s frequently represented as a nimble figure with winged sandals.

Apart from being depicted as a god’s emissary, he is also known for his role as a spiritual navigator or guide, leading souls towards the hereafter.
Indeed, he shows up in the Odyssey (beware of potential spoilers), instructing Calypso to release Odysseus whom she had kept captive for years, in hopes that he would marry her. Furthermore, he provides Odysseus with a cautionary tale about Circe, another goddess who is bound to cross his path during his travels.
It’s quite thrilling, and it seems this supports the idea that most of the prominent actors are slated to portray renowned deities from Greek myths.
The Odyssey will be released in theaters on 17 July, 2026.
