Elliot Page recently appeared on the podcast "On Film… With Kevin McCarthy" and revealed that since starring in Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," which is slated for a July 2026 release, he has received "almost no" new casting offers and currently has no acting projects lined up.
Page expressed his desire to continue acting, stating directly, "If someone wants to call me, I'd love to keep making good work." He also believes he is now more comfortable in his own skin than ever before, and thus has a greater opportunity to deliver his best performances yet.
Reflecting on his first collaboration with Nolan in 2010's "Inception," Page admitted that while he enjoyed the filming process, he wasn't in a good personal state at the time.
"I had a great time making 'Inception,' and I loved working with Nolan, but I was actually very uncomfortable with myself back then," he said.
Page has previously shared that being surrounded by a predominantly cisgender male cast made him feel out of place, even leading to a shingles outbreak due to stress. However, he emphasized that the cast and crew were very kind; his discomfort stemmed from his own internal struggles.
Returning to a Nolan project years later, Page described the experience of filming "The Odyssey" as having a "healing" significance. He explained, "Coming back now, when you're more comfortable with yourself, you naturally enjoy participating in these kinds of productions more. Having another experience working with Nolan means a lot to me."
In "The Odyssey," Page portrays the character Sinon. After his casting was announced, some conservative commentators criticized the choice, but figures like Whoopi Goldberg publicly defended him, suggesting that if audiences disagreed with the casting, they could simply choose not to see the film rather than attacking the actor personally.
