Elliot Page Says He Hasn’t Received Offers Since The Odyssey

He told a film podcast this week that industry perceptions since his 2020 transition may be making it harder to be cast and that box‑office success has not produced new work for him.

Overview

  • Page told the On Film… With Kevin McCarthy podcast this week that he has not received acting offers since his praised role in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
  • He said it is “a little tricky” for him to get cast now and suggested that how people see him after his 2020 transition is part of the reason.
  • Page’s brief but widely praised turn as Sinon, especially a Hades sequence, came as The Odyssey grossed about $1.5 billion worldwide but did not translate into immediate new jobs for him.
  • Other actors from The Odyssey have reported similar slow hiring, with Samantha Morton saying she had not worked in the year after filming, which places Page’s experience in a broader industry pattern.
  • The comments underscore a gap between commercial success and hiring and suggest Page may need to pursue projects or development deals himself while observers watch whether studios change casting choices.
