'Peaky Blinders' Fame Cosmo Jarvis Exits Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey', Replacement Confirmed

One of the most anticipated film of 2026, The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, is already making waves, despite not even having released a full public trailer yet. The film is slated for a release in the UK on July 17, 2026. Nolan's latest epic adaptation is based on the legendary Greek poem attributed to Homer. He is all set to reimagine the tale for the big screen with a powerhouse cast and a visual scale that spans over continents. However, just as production kick started, the film has hit its first significant speed bump.

Cosmo Jarvis exits Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

British actor, Cosmo Jarvis, who is known for his roles in Shogun and Peaky Blinders, was initially cast in an undisclosed role in The Odyssey. His involvement had generated plenty of buzz among the fans who were eager to see him in another high-profile role. But shortly before filming, Jarvis exited the project due to a scheduling conflict, leaving Nolan and the team to recast the part just ahead of the production.

Logan Marshall-Green Steps Into The Odyssey

Deadline reported that Logan Marshall-Green, recognised for his performances in Prometheus and The Defeated, will now take over Jarvis's role. While details of the character remain under wraps, Marshall-Green's inclusion to the already star-studded cast has created a buzz among fans. He is known for his versatility and intensity, and fans expect him to blend seamlessly into Nolan's world of Odyssey. 

The Odyssey will be a classic tale with a Christopher Nolan twist

In The Odyssey, Matt Damon will play the legendary Greek king 'Odysseus', who embarks on a homecoming journey to Ithaca following the Trojan War. Along the way, he faces gods, monsters, temptresses, and countless trials, all while struggling to reunite with his faithful wife, 'Penelope', who will be portrayed by Charlize Theron. The Odyssey is one of the oldest epics in Greek literature; it isn't just a historic piece, but a cherished work of art that has been admired for centuries. With Nolan at the helm, fans are expecting layered storytelling, philosophical undertones, and likely some unconventional narrative structure.

The Odyssey has a star-studded cast

Apart from nuanced storytelling and awe-inspiring visuals, Christopher Nolan is known for his projects, which feature a cast of high-ranking actors.This time around, for The Odyssey, the cast includes Tom Holland as 'Telemachus','Odysseus' son, as well as Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Jon Bernthal, Elliot Page, and Mia Goth in yet-to-be-revealed roles. With so many big names and Nolan's signature style, the film promises to be both a visual spectacle and an emotional journey.

Fans Are Eagerly Awaiting The Odyssey

Despite the secrecy surrounding the production, excitement among fans is building fast. A teaser trailer is currently being shown exclusively in cinemas before select screenings of Jurassic World Rebirth, though some leaked footage has already made its way online. The film is being shot across dramatic locations in Morocco, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland, and the scale of the film feels fitting for a story as vast and mythological as The Odyssey. Social media is already buzzing with theories, fan posters, and speculation over which stars will play iconic characters like 'Poseidon', 'Calypso', 'Circe" or the 'Cyclops Polyphemus'.
