Matt Damon expressed his satisfaction with working alongside director Christopher Nolan.

On the morning of the 3rd, a Korean press conference for the film 'The Odyssey' (directed by Christopher Nolan) was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, producer Emma Thomas, and director Christopher Nolan attended the event.

The film 'The Odyssey' tells the story of Odysseus, the hero who led the Trojan War to victory, embarking on a journey to return to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. Matt Damon plays the role of Odysseus, with Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron also starring.

Matt Damon, who starred in the film for the third time working with director Christopher Nolan, recalled: "From the moment the director told me he wanted to entrust this project to me, it has been the best experience of my career. It will be the best of my career." He added, "In the two previous films we worked on together, although my role was smaller than now, they were still excellent. This film contained everything I had hoped for. It started with ambitious ideas, and the director's decision to shoot the entire film in IMAX was unprecedented. It was an enormous undertaking, with hundreds of staff members working together every day. This is the first time I have worked with such passion."

Matt Damon previously mentioned that filming the large-scale 'The Odyssey' was as difficult as shooting seven films simultaneously. He stated, "Each location and chapter had its own story and tasks to accomplish. Skills gained at one location were meaningless at the next. However, when the director Nolan asked me to do another project together, my answer was naturally yes. Even if it is as hard as filming 12 films at once, I am willing to do it." He expressed his deep affection for the collaboration.

Meanwhile, 'The Odyssey' is scheduled to be released on the 5th.
