Matt Damon is Christopher Nolan's Odysseus – but what's wrong with his armour?

Not to be an insufferable history nerd, but that does not look like Bronze Age Mycenaean armour



Matt Damon is set to portray Odysseus in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film adaptation of *The Odyssey*. While Damon's age and rugged appearance suit the role, fans have criticized the armor design, which appears to be based on later Hoplite gear rather than the more ornate and historically accurate Mycenaean armor of the Bronze Age. The article highlights the discrepancy between the film's supposed attention to detail and the armor's design, which some argue is less authentic. The film, set for release in July 2026, also features Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Elliot Page, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron, though their roles remain unclear.
