Christopher Nolan"s Next Movie Might Beat The MCU To A Tom Holland Team-Up Everyone Is Waiting To See

:0:1

The cast list for Christopher Nolan"s The Odyssey is impressive, and its latest addition suggests that the highly anticipated movie will bring Tom Holland and one other Marvel actor together before the Marvel Cinematic Universe can. Holland, who plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the MCU, will star as an undisclosed character alongside several other renowned Hollywood actors in Christopher Nolan"s upcoming film. Unfortunately, it"s unclear who will portray who in The Odyssey, meaning all roles are unknown, including the movie"s most recent casting.
Some reports state that Tom Holland will play the lead character in The Odyssey, implying his role is Odysseus. However, these reports are unconfirmed.
The Odyssey is an adaptation of Homer"s epic poem, chronicling Odysseus" 10-year trek home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. So, based on the iconic work itself, some of the characters in Nolan"s next film should be Odysseus, Penelope, Athena, Poseidon, Telemachus, Antinous, Circe, Calypso, Menelaus, Nestor, and Polyphemus. Holland and other cast members such as Matt Damon, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, etc. could be playing any of them. Whatever the case, news of the latest actor to join the cast of Nolan"s The Odyssey should be exciting for MCU fans, as they will reunite with Holland on the big screen.
The Odyssey Might Give Us A Tom Holland & Jon Bernthal Reunion Before The MCU Jon Bernthal Has Been Cast In Christopher Nolan's Next Film According to Deadline, Jon Bernthal has joined the already impressive ensemble of Christopher Nolan"s The Odyssey. Like the other cast members, Bernthal"s role in the movie is undisclosed. So, it"s unclear how much Bernthal will work directly with Tom Holland in the upcoming epic film. However, their sharing of the screen in The Odyssey reunites the two actors after they starred alongside one another in the 2017 medieval movie Pilgrimage.

Holland played Brother Diarmuid in Pilgrimage, while Bernthal portrayed The Mute. Since 2017, though, Holland and Bernthal have yet to work together again, despite both having prominent roles in the MCU. Whereas Holland joined the MCU as Spider-Man in 2016 via Captain America: Civil War, Daredevil season 2 (which also debuted in 2016) introduced Bernthal"s Frank Castle/The Punisher. Still, the two native New Yorkers haven"t crossed paths in the MCU, meaning The Odyssey might reunite Holland and Bernthal before Marvel can get the chance to.

Posts Holland & Bernthal Might Reunite In 2 Movies Back-To-Back Depending On What The MCU Has In Store The Punisher Could Share Scenes With Spider-Man In Future MCU Projects Close In March 2024, Jon Bernthal reprises his role as the Punisher in the Daredevil revival, Daredevil: Born Again. Consequently, he could appear in other MCU projects, even ones featuring Tom Holland"s Spider-Man. A shared scene between Frank and Peter in the MCU is quite feasible, especially after Charlie Cox"s Matt Murdock/Daredevil made a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. So, Holland and Bernthal might star in two back-to-back movies in 2026.
Ultimately, it"s unclear whether Holland"s Spider-Man and Bernthal"s Punisher will ever share the screen in the MCU.
Although the cast is mostly unconfirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, the film, which debuts on May 1, 2026, could feature Spider-Man and the Punisher. Or, the two characters might encounter one another in the untitled fourth Spider-Man movie, premiering on July 24, 2026. Ultimately, it"s unclear whether Holland"s Spider-Man and Bernthal"s Punisher will ever share the screen in the MCU. However, the two actors are confirmed to star alongside one another in The Odyssey on July 17, 2026.
