Actor Elliot Page shared recent updates revealing that he has not yet secured a next project following the film 'Odyssey'.

In a recent podcast appearance, Elliot Page stated that since the release of Christopher Nolan's film 'Odyssey' last July, he has still not found a role that truly resonates with him. There are currently no scheduled upcoming projects either.

When the host asked if casting offers had poured in following 'Odyssey', Elliot Page smiled and replied, "No. So if anyone wants to reach out to me..." indirectly conveying that there have not been many next project proposals.

Having publicly come out as transgender in 2020, he recalled his experience filming Nolan's 2010 film 'Inception', noting that while the production itself and the filming process were enjoyable, he personally felt significant discomfort regarding his body and identity at the time.

Elliot Page said, "Being in 'Inception' was truly a joyful experience, and working with Director Nolan was great. However, personally, it was very uncomfortable." He added, "In contrast, when taking on roles like 'Juno', I felt much more comfortable being myself."

It has been revealed that during the filming of 'Inception', Elliot Page felt out of place in an environment filled with cisgender male actors and even suffered from shingles as a result.

Later, Elliot Page reunited with Director Nolan through 'Odyssey'. He explained that this project offered him a sense of catharsis compared to his experience during the 'Inception' era. In particular, he shared that on the final day of filming, he was overwhelmed by emotions connecting the past and present.

Elliot Page stated, "Now that I have become much more comfortable accepting myself, I can enjoy such projects even more." He added, "Having the opportunity to work with Director Christopher Nolan again held profound personal significance for me."

Meanwhile, in 'Odyssey', Elliot Page portrayed Syon, the cousin of Odysseus (played by Matt Damon). At the time of the casting announcement, some online critics raised concerns about his physique and voice as a transgender actor, but Upi Goldberg refuted this by stating, "If you don't like it, just don't watch the movie. I don't understand why who is cast matters so much."

Meanwhile, Elliot Page, who came out as gay in 2014, sparked widespread discussion in December 2020 when he revealed his transgender surgery. Three months later, he underwent a mastectomy. He married dancer Emma Portner in 2018 but divorced three years later in 2021.
