The Golden Globe winner is rumoured to be playing the Greek goddess Athena, who serves as divine counselor to Odysseus and meddles with gods like her father Zeus in his quest to return home.
Others have suggested she will star as Calypso, a nymph who keeps Odysseus captive by force on her island Ogygia for seven years while attempting to make him her immortal husband.
There’s also a chance she could be playing Nausicaä, the beautiful daughter of King Alcinous who helps Odysseus when he’s shipwrecked on her island.
Filming for the mythic action epic began in February on location in Greece, Morocco, Italy, Iceland and Los Angeles, with shooting now based in Scotland.
On Monday, the fan-favourite couple were both spotted jumping onboard a speedboat in Moray to whisk them away to a filming location further along the coast.

He pulled on a padded black coat to stay warm and a lifejacket for safety, before being whisked away across the sea.
While Zendaya was later seen arriving back at Burghead harbour by speedboat, beaming in delight as the vessel zipped across the waves.

The Euphoria star wrapped up warm in a black puffer coat and looked to be makeup-free, showing off her natural beauty.
However, as she received a helping hand out of the boat she flashed a glimpse of what appeared to be her costume, revealing the bottom of a flowing Grecian style dress.
While the two-time Emmy winner’s hair was still styled into a messy braided updo, like the one she’s sported during filming in March.
The Odyssey is set to become the most expensive project of Nolan’s prestigious career, with a reported budget of $250 million, and will also be the first film in history to be shot entirely using brand new IMAX film technology’.

The star-studded cast also includes the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Samantha Morton, Will Yun Lee, and Mia Goth.
And Universal Pictures gave eager fans the first glimpse at the film in a short teaser clip, attached to screenings of Jurassic World Rebirth earlier this month.
The trailer begins with an unknown narrator speaking about the title character Odysseus, who in the original poem is trying to return home to his wife Penelope after his victory in The Trojan War.
They begin: ‘Darkness. Zeus’ law smashed to pieces. I’m without a king since my master died. He knew it was an unwinnable war. And then, somehow, he won in’.
Dramatic footage of the sea crashing against the shore, shows what appears to be a mammoth statue of the famous Trojan Horse.
Jon Bernthal’s unnamed character is then seen claiming: ‘I know nothing of Odysseus, not since Troy’, while Tom is seen for the first time as Telemachus, insisting: ‘I have to find out what happened to my father. When did you last see him?’
While brief shots of the film are shown, Jon’s character shouts to the room, ‘Who has a story about Odysseus? You? You have a story? Some say he’s rich. Some say he’s poor. Some said he perished. Some said he’s imprisoned’.

The Odyssey is scheduled to hit IMAX theaters on July 17, 2026 – just two weeks before Tom and Zendaya will be back for Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31.
The blockbuster – which is being helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton – will also seen Tom reunite with Jon again, as the actor has been confirmed to reprising the role of Punisher for the Marvel film.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, the upcoming flick will see Tom and Zendaya reprise their respective roles as Peter Parker and MJ.
The Uncharted star previously teased he and his fiancée were ‘bouncing around the room’ with excitement after reading the first draft of the script.
Speaking on the Rich Roll Podcast in October, he said: ‘It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago, and it really lit a fire in me.
‘Zendaya and I sat down and read it together, and we at times were bouncing around the living room like, “This is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.” But there’s a few things we need to figure out before we can get that really going, but it’s exciting.’

The actor added it was important for the team to consider that the flick had to fit into the wider story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
He explained: ‘One of the things to bear in mind with Marvel is that your film is a small cog in a large machine.
‘And that machine has got to keep running. And you need to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture.
‘That’s one of the challenges we’re facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the fantastic people we have working on it now.’
