15 years after working on Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” actor Elliot Page spoke about reuniting with the Oscar-winning director for his historical epic “The Odyssey,” set to release in theaters in July 2026.
“I was so excited to be thought of for [‘The Odyssey’] and to be asked to come back to work with him,” said Page during the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” panel at this year’s New York City Comic Con. “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.”
“To come back now, as you can imagine, being more comfortable in yourself makes these sorts of projects more enjoyable,” Page added. “To get to have a Chris Nolan experience again now meant so much to me selfishly.”
The “X-Men: Days of Future Past” panel was moderated by “Happy Sad Confused” podcast host Josh Horowitz. It also featured James McAvoy, who previously played the role of Charles Xavier from 2011 to 2019. When asked about the potential reboot of the franchise with fancasted actors such as Colman Domingo and Bella Ramsey, McAvoy spoke about his excitement for a return to the world of Charles Xavier with a new ensemble cast.
“Look, I’m [just] excited to see what happens next,” said McAvoy. “I was a fan before I was an employee. and I’ll be a fan again. Colman Domingo sounds amazing.”
