Every major Hollywood actor seems lined up to star in Batman director Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey. The ultimate Hero's Journey. The archetype upon which so many great superhero stories have been told. We explore other classic myths, legends, stories, and pantheons that are begging for a Silver Screen Hollywood treatment! Plus, we tease an ongoing series leading up to the 2026 release of Nolan's Odyssey. Wondering if we'll reach outside of Ancient Greece? Listen to hear if we list your fave!
