Cosmo Jarvis exits Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey'; Logan Marshall-Green steps in

Cosmo Jarvis drops out of Nolan's ‘The Odyssey’ due to scheduling conflict, replaced by Logan Marshall-Green.

Cosmo Jarvis, the star of FX's Shōgun, will no longer appear in Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film The Odyssey, which is set for release on July 17, 2026. Jarvis was initially part of the all-star cast, which includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and Anne Hathaway, but a scheduling conflict forced him to drop out just before filming began.

Jarvis is currently preparing for his role as the title character in Young Stalin, a biopic about the early years of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. In addition to this, he is involved in the second season of Shōgun and Guy Ritchie’s Wife & Dog. As a result of his departure from The Odyssey, Jarvis' role, which remains undisclosed, will be taken over by Logan Marshall-Green, known for his roles in Prometheus, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Upgrade.

The film, based on the ancient Greek epic poem by Homer, tells the story of Odysseus (Matt Damon) and his long journey home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he faces gods, monsters, and sorceresses, while his wife Penelope (Zendaya) deals with suitors who want to claim her husband's throne. The film's plot and characters have largely been kept under wraps, though it is expected to follow the general structure of the poem.

Filming for The Odyssey is taking place in Morocco, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland. The film’s teaser trailer has already generated excitement, having been leaked on social media platforms like TikTok and X. Fans will have to wait until 2026 for the full release.
