Elliot Page cast as male Greek warrior Sinon in The Odyssey: report

According to a leaked Hungarian voice cast list, Page will play Sinon, a figure who is absent from Homer's original epic entirely. Universal has yet to make any official statement on the matter, and Page's character remains unacknowledged as of yet, per Cosmic Book News.

Page's role is still not listed on the film's official materials or on IMDb. The report follows on earlier speculation that Page would play Achilles or Elpenor. The report surfaced through IGN Hungary and the report came from an international dubbing list. Dubbing materials sometimes use working role names, which can mean that the character names can still be changed before the final release of the film.

Sinon is a significant character in the myth of the Trojan Wars, which is not told by Homer in the Odyssey. Sinon is a Greek soldier who plays a crucial deceptive role in the fall of Troy.

The character reported to be played by Page is a Greek soldier who plays a crucial, deceptive role in the fall of Troy. After ten years of failed siege of the city of Troy, the Greeks pretended to abandon the war and sailed away, leaving behind a giant wooden horse with men inside, as well as Sinon, who allowed himself to be captured by the Trojans.

When brought before King Priam, Sinon claims that he had fallen out of favor with the Greek leaders, particularly Odysseus, and had been left behind as a sacrifice. He claimed the horse was a sacred offering to Athena.

Priam believed he brought the horse into the city. That night, Sinon signaled the Greek fleet to return, and the soldiers hidden inside the horse crept out and opened the city gates, leading to Troy's destruction.
