Christopher Nolan smiling during an interview.
  • Christopher Nolan’s epic thoughts on ancient Greece.
  • Why he thinks Homer was basically the OG Marvel.
  • Quick updates on Tom Holland and Anne Hathaway!

You guys, we just saw Christopher Nolan on Stephen Colbert’s show! And he dropped a bomb. He’s making a movie about ‘The Odyssey.’ Big news.

And get this: He actually called Homer, the guy who wrote ‘The Odyssey,’ the “Marvel of its day.” The original superhero writer. We totally get the vibe.

Think about it – huge adventures, incredible heroes, monsters, gods… sounds like a blockbuster, right? Homer was really telling these larger-than-life stories with such grand visual scope. Almost like comic book panels brought to life in people’s minds back then.

He even said ‘The Odyssey’ has the ‘original superheroes.’ Can you imagine Odysseus as the first Iron Man? Or Achilles as Captain America? It makes you see those ancient tales in a totally fresh, exciting way. The whole aesthetic of epic storytelling hasn’t really changed, just the special effects!

Nolan also chatted about working with Tom Holland. And, he talked about watching Anne Hathaway in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2.’ We love Anne Hathaway! Speaking of amazing looks, remember her stunning outfit at the Met Gala? She truly served looks alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Margot Robbie.

So much happening in the world, right? While everyone’s busy tracking things like Raja Shivaji’s box office numbers and even the latest ‘Rookie’ cliffhanger, Nolan just casually gave us a whole new way to look at ancient history and modern cinema.

Our Take

We think Nolan is absolutely spot on! It’s such a cool way to connect stories from thousands of years ago with the giant superhero movies we obsess over today. Homer was truly an artistic visionary, painting these epic scenes with words. It makes us want to revisit ‘The Odyssey’ with fresh eyes, maybe even imagine it with a Nolan-esque dark, intense visual style. What a perspective!
