Elliot Page Reunites with Nolan for 'The Odyssey'

Los Angeles, Oct 13 (PTI) Actor Elliot Page expressed his excitement about reuniting with Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan after fifteen years for the new project "The Odyssey." Page, who previously collaborated with Nolan on the 2010 film "Inception," shared that returning to work with the director was a joyful experience.

Known for his breakout role in "Inception," Page came out as a transgender man in 2020, having previously played female roles since debuting in the 2002 film "Marion Bridge." Following his transition, his character in "The Umbrella Academy" was updated to reflect his real-life journey, becoming Viktor Hargreeves in the show's third season.

During the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" panel at this year's New York City Comic Con, Page spoke to Variety about being cast in "The Odyssey." "I was so excited to be thought of for ‘The Odyssey’ and to be asked to come back to work with him," Page said.

He fondly recalled working on "Inception", stating, "I loved working with him on ‘Inception’ and loved being a part of that movie. I was just completely jazzed and excited, and I basically went and met with Chris and talked about the part, then sat in a room and read the script. It was such a joy to come back."

Page emphasized how being comfortable in his own identity has enriched his experience of working on such projects. "To come back now, as you can imagine, being more comfortable in yourself makes these sorts of projects more enjoyable...To get to have a Chris Nolan experience again now meant so much to me selfishly," he added.
