John Leguizamo is EUMAEUS!
Leguizamo faced perhaps the most challenging preparation for his role in The Odyssey. At least 4 hours a day transformed him into an aged and weatherbeaten servant, with his hair bleached white and even going so far as to wear cataract contacts that left the actor nearly blind on set. Leguizamo was locked in as the most loyal man in literature, following Damon through both freezing and blistering outdoor scenes that might have broken his resolve if not for his costars humility and incredible heavy lifting of the film.

A newly arranged marriage sees an oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are alone, awkward and together.

Robert Pattinson is ANTINOUS!
Pattinson approached his role as the villainous Antinous with a level of imposter syndrome hanging over his head. When director Christopher Nolan approached him about the part he was concerned about his ability to pull off such a massively important role. In fact Pattinson was the only major actor brought into the project who asked to read the script before agreeing to the part, which Nolan was sure to tease him for. However despite his anxieties, Pattinson was able to deliver on bringing Antinous to life. His smarmy, snivelling, and slithery portrayal was so intensely irritating and complete that co-star Tom Holland recounts holding back a genuine physical urge to strike him.
