7 Jul
Summary
- Zendaya learned of her potential role as Athena from her husband, Tom Holland.
- Holland was informed by director Christopher Nolan before Zendaya was contacted.
- Zendaya expressed excitement for Holland's major role before her own casting news.
Actress Zendaya recently shared a surprising detail about her potential casting in Christopher Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey." She learned she was being considered for the role of the goddess Athena not from the production, but from her husband, Tom Holland. Holland, who is set to play Telemachus, had a meeting with Nolan.
During his meeting, Nolan asked Holland if he would be offended if Zendaya were asked to play Athena. Holland confirmed he was asked by Nolan to relay the information to Zendaya. He had previously read the script with Zendaya the night before his meeting, realizing afterward it might have been against Nolan's secretive protocol.
Zendaya expressed that she was already ecstatic about Holland's significant role in the epic film. She described her reaction to learning about her own potential casting as disbelieving, initially thinking Holland was joking. Her husband's ability to deliver this exciting news was something he felt deeply grateful for, knowing her admiration for Nolan's work.
