Called an “unrivaled cinematic spectacle” in Joe Schmidt‘s review for Collider, Christopher Nolan‘s ambitious adaptation of Homer‘s ancient Greek epic The Odysseyis one of the biggest movies of the year. Following the Toronto International Film Festival 2026, the discussion surrounding next year’s Academy Awards has kicked off in earnest, with The Odyssey considered a favorite to not just win in several categories, but predicted to even break Sinners‘ nominations record set earlier this year.
During an extended and hugely popular box office run, The Odyssey became Nolan’s highest-grossing movie in his filmography, surpassing both The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, his only other billion-dollar movies. In total, the film has sailed past the $1.7 billion mark at the box office, becoming the 11th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide. Key to The Odyssey‘s success was its typically star-studded Nolan cast, which included Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Jon Bernthal, and Zendaya.
Starring in The Odyssey as the King of Ithaca and finally getting his chance to lead a Nolan movie was Matt Damon, who delivered one of his best performances in recent memory. Following his headlining of this summer’s box office, many Damon fans are heading back into his catalog, especially those entries packed with action. Of course, with this in mind, his genre-altering spy movie The Bourne Identityis proving a hit once again. At the time of writing, The Bourne Identity is one of the ten most-streamed movies on Starz in the U.S., a list topped by Henry Cavill‘s In the Grey.

Sean Connery

You are the original — and you carry that fact without needing to announce it. There is an authority in the way you occupy a room that others spend careers trying to replicate.
You don’t explain yourself, justify yourself, or soften yourself for anyone’s comfort. The confidence is structural, not performed.
Connery’s Bond established everything — the tone, the danger, the cool — because Connery himself had the innate presence to make something that had never existed feel inevitable.
You share that quality: the sense that you were always going to end up exactly here, doing exactly this.
The name is Bond. In your case, it always was.
Live and Let Die — A View to a Kill · 1973–1985
Roger Moore

You understand something that more serious people miss: that wit is its own form of intelligence, and that making people laugh is not a retreat from danger but a way of mastering it.
Moore’s Bond is underrated precisely because the effortlessness looks easy — and effortlessness is the hardest thing to manufacture.
You have the same quality: a lightness that disarms people before they realise how sharp you actually are.
The raised eyebrow, the perfectly timed quip, the refusal to be rattled — these are not affectations. They are a philosophy about how to move through a world that would like to take itself too seriously.
You have never let it.
The Living Daylights · Licence to Kill · 1987–1989
Timothy Dalton

You took the role seriously when everyone wanted you to coast — and that refusal to take the easy version of anything is the most defining thing about you.
Dalton’s Bond has genuine moral weight: he feels the cost of what he does, he has lines he won’t cross, and he is not interested in the version of himself that pretends otherwise.
You share that intensity. You push harder than the situation technically requires, because you have a standard and you hold yourself to it.
He was ahead of his time — the Bond the franchise wasn’t quite ready for yet, arriving exactly when he was meant to.
You know what that feels like.
GoldenEye — Die Another Day · 1995–2002
Pierce Brosnan

You are the complete package — and you know it, which is part of what makes you so effective and occasionally so infuriating to the people around you.
Brosnan arrived at the role looking exactly like Bond was supposed to look, and he delivered on that expectation with a professionalism that made it seem effortless.
You have the same quality: a smooth competence, a charm that operates like a precision instrument, and the ability to make even difficult things look like they weren’t.
His era was the most commercially successful in the franchise’s history. There is a reason for that.
The reason is that some people simply fit their moment perfectly. You are one of those people.
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service · 1969
George Lazenby

You stepped into something enormous with less preparation than anyone around you thought was sufficient — and you delivered something genuine anyway, which is the more impressive achievement.
Lazenby’s single outing is, by many measures, one of the finest Bond films ever made — and he is not a small part of why.
You share his quality of raw authenticity: less polished than the alternatives, more honest for it, capable of something real that technique alone can’t produce.
He was underestimated, and then he wasn’t, and then history caught up with him.
You are the kind of person history catches up with. Give it time.
Casino Royale — No Time to Die · 2006–2021
Daniel Craig

You stripped everything back and found what was underneath — and what was underneath was harder, more honest, and more human than anyone expected.
Craig’s Bond is the franchise’s most psychologically complete: a man doing a brutal job, carrying its costs imperfectly, capable of love and loss in ways that can’t be dismissed.
You share that depth. You don’t hide behind the role or the charm or the suit — you let the work show what it actually costs.
He was controversial from the moment he was announced and definitive by the time he was finished. The sceptics became the believers.
That arc — of being underestimated and then undeniable — is one you know intimately.
