Mia Goth shares her admiration for working with Christopher Nolan on The Odyssey, describing it as a profound and unforgettable experience. The film, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, features a star-studded cast including Tom Holland and Anne Hathaway.
Mia Goth has nothing but praise for her time on the set of Christopher Nolan ’s highly anticipated epic, The Odyssey. Reflecting on her experience, she described it as truly transformative.
“That was one of the greatest experiences of my life. It really was. It was profound,”
Goth shared.
“I’ve been such a fan of Nolan's work for years. And so to have that opportunity and to witness him and how he directs was incredible. I took a lot from that. The trust that he has in actors was enlightening.”
The Odyssey brings to life the legendary tale of Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, and his decade-long struggle to return home after the Trojan War, facing relentless challenges from the gods. Matt Damon steps into the role of Odysseus, with Tom Holland portraying his son Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as Penelope, his devoted wife. The film also boasts an impressive ensemble, including Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron.
Star-Studded Cast and Iconic Roles

Other members of the cast have echoed Goth’s enthusiasm about working on the project. Matt Damon, reflecting on his own experience, said,
“I can say, without hyperbole, that it was the best experience of my career. I saw the [Trojan] horse on the beach and I was just like, 'Fuck.' It was just so cool.”
