Mia Goth and Christopher Nolan: What could possibly come next?

Mia Goth follows her literary triumph in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein with a captivating role in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey (2026). She will portray Melantho, a maid enmeshed in the trials of Odysseus and Penelope, navigating loyalty, betrayal, and human frailty.

The film is inherently literary, directly adapting Homer’s 8th-century BCE epic and employing intricate in-medias-res storytelling to explore themes of homecoming, morality, and existential struggle. After Frankenstein, Goth’s collaboration with Nolan promises another fearless dive into profound, timeless narratives, solidifying her place in modern cinematic literature.

The Odyssey traces Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca, on his perilous voyage home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he confronts the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus, resists the enchanting Sirens, and navigates the sorcery of the witch-goddess Circe.

Each trial tests his cunning, resilience, and morality, while Ithaca waits in suspense, with his loyal wife Penelope and son Telemachus facing threats and uncertainty. The journey becomes an epic exploration of heroism, fate, and the human spirit, and Mia Goth is set to join a star-studded cast bringing this legendary tale to life.
