Elliot Page is reportedly set to portray Sinon in Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of 'The Odyssey'.

This casting detail emerged after an employee for UIP-Duna Film, the Hungarian distributor of the film, reportedly shared the information with online publication IGN Hungary.

The news suggests that earlier speculation about Page playing Achilles was incorrect.

According to a translation of IGN Hungary's report, the employee provided a list of Hungarian voice actors and their corresponding characters, which indicated Page's name next to Sinon.

Sinon is a figure from Greek mythology, though not from Homer's 'The Odyssey'.

He appears in Virgil's epic poem 'Aeneid' as Odysseus's cousin.

Described as a trickster, Sinon is central to the narrative of the Trojan Horse, convincing the Trojans to bring the giant wooden horse into their city, which ultimately led to Troy's downfall.

This development clarifies Page's potential role, moving away from the previously rumored character of Achilles.

Initial speculation that Page would play Achilles had drawn significant attention, particularly from some conservative commentators who raised concerns about "historical accuracy" regarding a trans man portraying the mythical warrior.

However, Achilles is a figure of Greek mythology, not a historical person.

Universal Pictures has not yet officially confirmed Page's exact role in 'The Odyssey'.
