Zendaya’s Mouth ‘Would Not Move’ on Her First Day Filming The Odyssey
Zendaya said the freezing conditions left her unable to speak on day one of filming, while Christopher Nolan called her performance perfect.
- Emmy-Winning actress Zendaya revealed that freezing weather conditions in Iceland made her first day of filming Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey difficult, leaving her unable to speak her lines clearly during the shoot.
- Director Nolan cast the actress as the Greek goddess Athena for her "iconic" grace, later praising her as "always perfect" throughout production despite the challenging conditions.
- Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Zendaya admitted she felt nervous and "psyched" herself out, but compartmentalized those feelings to deliver her best work alongside the talented ensemble cast.
- Co-Star Tom Holland also experienced first-day nerves, mistakenly believing Nolan was unhappy with his performance because the director repeatedly cut the camera due to three-minute IMAX recording limits.
- Universal Pictures will release The Odyssey on July 17, which follows Odysseus' 10-year journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, in theaters nationwide.
