As anticipation builds for the release of Christopher Nolan’s latest epic, ‘The Odyssey’, fresh information has surfaced that clarifies a long-standing uncertainty about the film’s casting. Despite the project’s tight veil of secrecy, a recent leak from the Hungarian dubbed version’s voice cast list has unveiled a surprising revelation: Elliot Page is not portraying Achilles, as widely speculated.
The unexpected character behind Elliot Page’s role
The source, Fiction Horizon, disclosed the Hungarian version’s credited roles, which include both the original actors and their Hungarian voice counterparts. This list distinctly identifies Page as the voice of Sinon, a character whose presence in the film challenges earlier assumptions that had linked Page to the roles of Achilles or Elpenor.
Interestingly, Sinon is not a figure found in Homer’s original ‘The Odyssey’. Instead, his story is more prominently featured in Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’, where he is depicted as a Greek soldier who played a pivotal role during the Trojan War. This inclusion hints at a broader narrative scope for Nolan’s film, potentially blending elements from multiple classical sources.
