Though tbf the last two decades of non-superheroes Hollywood films have been about saving and bringing home a stranded Matt Damon. Probably he had ancestors stuck in Ogygia too.

Χαχαχα but I want cunning Odysseus the slightly unhinged rascal-villain.

It's not that you want that. It's what Odysseus is, and what he will always be.
(Did you like Bekim Fehmiu's one?)

Yes, that’s what I want from Hollywood. To be honest, I don’t watch mythology movies much. Which one is he in?

A prehistoric Italian production, with relatively low budget and questionable visual and costume choices, but great acting and decent script. [Incidentally, Penelope will always look like Irene Papas in my mind]
