  • Elliot Page said he has not received a concrete offer for another role despite critical acclaim for his performance in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
  • Page described his anxiety about playing Sinon before becoming committed to the project and praised the experience of working with Nolan again.
  • He suggested that tensions between Canada and the United States could possibly explain the lack of new offers.

Elliot Page has received acclaim for playing Sinon in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, but he says no producer has yet called with another project.

Speaking on the podcast On Film... with Kevin McCarthy, Page discussed returning to work with Nolan after their collaboration on Inception in 2010. He admitted that he initially feared he might not have the acting ability required for a character as demanding as Sinon, the Greek figure who deceives the Trojans into bringing the Trojan horse into Argos.

Page said he became so focused on the script that he committed himself fully to the film. Critics later described his performance as intense and memorable, making it one of the most praised elements of the production. The film has become the second-highest-grossing movie of 2026 so far.

No, Kevin, I’m not receiving millions of calls, so if someone wants to call me, I’d love to do a good job. That’s what I’d like to do. I feel that perhaps now I could do some of my best work.

When McCarthy asked how Page’s professional life had changed after the film’s success, the answer was less triumphant. Page said he had no project in development and was not receiving a flood of calls from producers. He used the podcast to invite Hollywood filmmakers to contact him.

“No, Kevin, I’m not receiving millions of calls, so if someone wants to call me, I’d love to do a good job. That’s what I’d like to do. I feel that perhaps now I could do some of my best work,” he said. Page added that the absence of offers might be linked to his being from Halifax, Canada, amid the serious trade and political tensions between Canada and the United States. “I think it’s probably for fairly obvious reasons, the Canada thing,” he said.
