The first trailer for The Odyssey has sparked major discussion online, with the reaction becoming far more intense than many fans expected.

Director Christopher Nolan is known for highly praised films, so excitement around The Odyssey was already huge before the teaser arrived.

However, soon after the trailer was released, it became one of the most disliked videos connected to Nolan on YouTube.

A large part of the backlash came from online rumours about Elliot Page possibly appearing in the movie.

Fans began sharing theories that Page could be playing Achilles after noticing certain moments in the trailer and discussing possible casting clues online.

Although nothing has been officially confirmed, the rumours quickly led to heated arguments across social media.

The trailer also faced criticism from some viewers who felt Nolan’s version of the classic Greek story looked too modern.

Others compared it to fantasy blockbusters that have already been released in recent years.

At the same time, many fans defended the teaser and praised its cinematography, scale and cast.

The movie stars Matt Damon as Odysseus alongside Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson.

Even with the backlash, the controversy has only made more people curious about the film before its July 2026 release.

Lena Dunham is best known for her famous show, Girls, but that was not how her now-husband Luis Felber knew her as, when he first approached her.

The 40-year-old multihyphenated star gave a glimpse into her early relationship with the musician, 39, at a Famesick book tour event with former costar Rita Wilson.

Dunham recalled, “The thing that was so amazing about meeting him, he’d never seen Girls,” sharing that Felber had texted her on Instagram, asking, “Do you think, do you think you could bear to eat dinner with this person?”

The Too Much writer revealed that her husband had assumed she was a curve model and “I went, ‘That is the loveliest thing I’ve ever heard,’ ” she told Wilson.

Wilson jokingly added that it could be the truth, urging Dunham to call the famous plus-sized model Ashley Graham, to which she replied, “Well, I’m going to call her after this and see what she thinks I’ve got to do.”

Shedding light on Felber’s early approach to Dunham, she added that he “didn’t seem to come with a lot of preconceived ideas about who I was. He was present and interested but not too interested.”

Dunham then went on to call her husband “really amazing.”

The couple first met in 2021 after being set up for a blind date, and soon moved in together, going on to marry the same year in September.
