Summary
- Travis Scott was spotted in a new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey during the AFC Championship game
- The clip shows Scott in a speaking role, reportedly acting alongside Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal
- This marks the second collaboration between Scott and Nolan, following the single “The Plan” for Tenet
In a move that has sent shockwaves through both the hip-hop and film worlds, Travis Scott has officially joined the cast of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming sci-fi epic, The Odyssey. The revelation came during a surprise TV spot aired during the AFC Championship game, where the Houston rapper was seen not just performing, but delivering dialogue in a high-stakes scene.
While details on his character remain guarded, the footage places Scott in a banquet setting, reportedly sharing the screen with Tom Holland’s Telemachus and Jon Bernthal’s Menelaus. Early speculation suggests he may be playing a bard or storyteller figure, a role that would ironically mirror his real-life status as a curator of culture. This casting marks a significant pivot for Scott, whose previous film experience was largely limited to experimental projects like Aggro Drift.
The partnership isn’t entirely unprecedented; Scott previously contributed the track “The Plan” to Nolan’s TENET, a song the director described as the “final piece of a puzzle.” However, stepping in front of the camera for a production of this magnitude — alongside heavyweights like Matt Damon, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson — signals a bold new chapter for La Flame.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is scheduled to hit theaters on July 17.
