Christopher Nolan's epic adaptation of the Greek myth, "The Odyssey," recently debuted a new minute-long TV spot during the American football playoffs, revealing a previously unannounced cast member: rapper Travis Scott.
The trailer does not specify Scott's role, but he is seen rallying soldiers, with his speech serving as the voiceover throughout the entire spot. This marks another collaboration between Scott and Nolan; the rapper previously performed "The Plan," the theme song for Nolan's original sci-fi action film "Tenet," several years ago.
