Travis Scott's surprising role in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" trailer has left fans buzzing about the epic adaptation of Homer's classic Greek epic. The Grammy-winning rapper, known for his chart-topping hits and electrifying live performances, joins an all-star cast that includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron.
The trailer, which premiered on Fox during the NFL AFC Championship game, gives a glimpse into Nolan's vision for this epic retelling of "The Odyssey". Scott appears in the 20-second clip, preaching to a room full of soldiers about war, a man, and a trick to break the walls of Troy. His character seems to be channeling a fiery passion, urging his comrades to "Burning," "screaming to the ground".
Scott's involvement with Nolan dates back to their collaboration on "Tenet" in 2020. The rapper penned the song "The Plan", which appeared during the film's closing credits. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Scott shared that he was drawn to the project by its unique blend of art and storytelling. He praised Nolan as a master filmmaker who pushes boundaries, saying, "These are just different aspects that I was intrigued and I was into... I'm just into all things creative".
The epic adaptation is notable for being shot entirely with IMAX cameras, promising an immersive cinematic experience. With Scott's involvement, fans are eagerly anticipating how the rapper will bring his signature energy to this iconic tale.
While Universal Pictures has yet to officially release the full trailer for "The Odyssey", snippets have been making the rounds on social media, sparking excitement among fans and critics alike. With Nolan at the helm, it's clear that this adaptation is destined to be a cinematic event of epic proportions.

... can't wait for Scott to bring his signature swagger (and maybe some auto-tune?) to the ancient Greeks 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a 20-second clip of him screaming "Burning" at the top of his lungs? 
It's not like he's gonna mess up the entire epic or anything... and btw, IMAX cameras are cool, but how much is that gonna make the film actually 'epic' 
?
... wait, no I don't think I am... I mean, why would Nolan choose someone like Travis for such an epic role? He's known for his energetic performances, but this is a classic Greek epic we're talking about here. It's gotta be some sort of marketing ploy to get people excited 
... or maybe it'll actually work and Scott will bring something fresh to the table? 
He's gonna bring that energy to this epic adaptation, no doubt! And can we talk about how cool it is that he collaborated with Nolan on "Tenet" - who knew rappers could be filmmakers too? 
anyway I need to see more of this adaptation ASAP! has anyone else seen the trailer snippets on social media? what do you guys think of Travis Scott's role in it?!? 
. Maybe there's more to Scott's role than just a cameo... could he be more deeply involved in the production? 
just saw the trailer for Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" starring Travis Scott... sounds like it's gonna be some crazy ride 
but I'm worried they're going to water down Homer's classic story to fit Scott's rap style 
and have you seen the cast? so many big names, hope they all bring their A-game 
it's just too much hype for me atm...
He's got a way of bringing the heat with his live performances, and it sounds like he's gonna bring that same passion to this epic retelling of Homer's classic. I mean, can you imagine Scott preaching to a room full of soldiers about war and...well, everything else 
? The dude's already proven himself as a creative force in "Tenet", so I'm hyped to see how he's gonna shake things up with Nolan at the helm 
. I'm intrigued by their collab history with "Tenet", and now it looks like they're taking it to the next level 
. With IMAX cameras, we're in for a visual treat 
!
oh man I'm literally hyped for this one! Travis Scott as a character in an IMAX shot "The Odyssey" trailer? 
this film has all the ingredients for something truly special. Can't wait for the full trailer to drop! 
He's always bringing that high energy vibe to his music and performances, can't wait to see how he brings it to this iconic tale! 
! Nolan is a genius filmmaker & I love how Scott has been drawn to the project - creative energy is everything! 
i mean, who wouldn't want to see Travis Scott channel his inner warrior and preach about war and Troy? 
i've been listening to "The Plan" on repeat since I saw the trailer and now I'm counting down the days till The Odyssey hits theaters! 
can't wait to see what he brings to this iconic tale!!! 
The whole IMAX thing sounds super cool too - can you imagine watching Troy fall on the biggest screen ever?
