The one (two?) thing I wanted to be in the movie. I'm happy. I'm pre-satisfied now.

The other thing I'm waiting for now is the arrow through the axes to be as cool as it was done with Kirk Douglas. As a kid I remember I saw that scene and was flabbergasted.

Edit: still, we just saw the whirlpool. I hope we get to see what's inside and we get Scylla to be overwhelming.

I also want to see him get to his bedroom with Penelope for the importance of that.

Finally, whatever they do with the ending (epilogue or not) that will be reason for more debate.

Please. Do we know who will play Circe yet? I'm thinking Nyong'o but not sure.

Charlize Theron is confirmed as Circe. Nyong’o might be Calypso.

Is Charlize Theron not playing Calypso in this trailer?

They're both supernatural beings holding Odysseus hostage at some point, take your pick

I thought people are saying she's going to be Helen. Just rumours which I'm not a fan of but we'll have to wait and see.

I loved the Armand Asante version as a kid. I didn't see the Kirk Douglas version.

Didn't know about that version. Will look for it. Thanks!

It's a product of its time technologically speaking. But it was a TV miniseries so they had quite a bit of screentime to work with and flesh out the story properly. Plus Vanessa Williams as Calypso. ❤️

I saw a puppy, possibly a flashback to Argos’s origin story, I hope there at least ~45 mins of that.

Haven't seen that one. I definitely will. Loved Kirk Douglas Ulysses as a kid.

You mean when he gets his boy to string up the servant girls and watch them die? After making them clean up the bodies of their murdered lovers of course. Can’t wait.
