I get where you're coming from, but let's face it, a movie about the Odyssey is going to be fairly niche no matter who the lead actor is. And one way to make it less niche (and hopefully, more likely for similar movies to be made eventually) is to have a name that most people already recognize.
Is it ideal? No. Am I particularly happy about it? Meh. But given the choices avaliable, I'm happy enough to throw my support behind ~~Kamala Harris~~ Matt Damon
