      Is a one line joke really worth an article? Is it worth posting about? This isn’t something that actually happened. Damon was listing a bunch of actors from his generation and Nolan made a joke.

      Brolin is an interesting pull here. He’s the only one who hasn’t been in a Nolan movie.

      josh brolin would have been a solid choice for the post war odyssesius. although i am not sure how they would have portrayed a younger version of the character

      There is a trend when you play the lead, Nolan doesn’t cast you anymore

      somehow i feel that jimmy kimmel had something to do with this..

      Some of these wouldn’t even make sense for the role. He’s obviously taking the piss.

      Damon might not be as exciting as some of these names, but I’m sure glad he got picked over a couple of them

      Wow, 8th in line. Well, it was still a great movie. Won’t see it again, though, because all of the screeching noises were really too much.

      Kevin James would have been great. Pretty much the same character as Paul Blart and he nailed that.

      I don’t even consider myself a big Matt Damon fan but for me this is easily his greatest acting performance.

      I was wondering why Cillian isn’t in it. Then I remember Oppenheimer.

      I feel like Nolan wants to check all the major genre boxes. Would be cool to see him doing a classic western with someone like Brolin (even though Brolin probably feels like he’s done enough Westerns).

      The joke is all these actors turned it down. We know any top list actor is gonna claw at the opportunity for a Nolan lead

      Matt Damon was great in this but man Josh Brolin could have been a really interesting casting.

      All would have been better actors for the role honestly.

      Matt Damon was without a doubt the weakest point of the movie, he is just playing himself and doesn’t bring the epic character of Odysseus to the screen.

      Damon smoked the role…. but let’s be real…Bale or Jackman would’ve murdered the heck outta the role.
      Nolan rewards actors who have been faithful and listen to him, and Damon seems to have done it for interstellar and Opp.

      I’ve seen the joke and Josh Brolin wasn’t even mentioned. Damon is listing off a bunch of actors that Nolan has worked with in the past and says “JD” as in John David Washington. I’m pretty sure the author thought he said JB and then gave it their best guess at who he was talking about.

      I dont know. Matt is one of my favorite actors and of the very few A-lister that blends into the character while carrying the movie.

      He played a nuisanced Odysseus perfectly. Not the greek hero; but the man dealing with shit.

      Unfortunately Nolans storytelling and editing prevented a proper build up and excitement in the movie.
