Zendaya Froze on Set of Nolan's 'The Odyssey'

Zendaya experienced a daunting start on her first day of filming for Christopher Nolan's upcoming blockbuster, 'The Odyssey,' which is set to release on July 17. The actress, portraying the Greek goddess Athena, struggled with the frigid conditions in Iceland, causing her to literally freeze and her mouth to be unable to move, leading to initial filming difficulties.

Despite the challenging beginning, Zendaya expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity to work with an ensemble cast featuring stars such as Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Robert Pattinson. She described sharing scenes with admired actors as a "pleasure and a gift," emphasizing her excitement and desire to deliver her best work.

Director Christopher Nolan commended Zendaya's contributions to the film in a recent interview, stating she was "always perfect." This particular praise became a subject of amusement among the cast, including Zendaya's partner, Tom Holland, who humorously noted they were still awaiting their own "perfect" stamp of approval from the director.

Tom Holland also shared his initial difficulties on set, describing his first day as one of the most daunting experiences of his career due to the sheer scale of the production. The film is slated to reach theaters on July 17.
