Tom Holland's first look from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey set in Greece goes viral
Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated epic, The Odyssey, is in full production, with filming currently underway in Greece.
While the cast remains largely under wraps, it has been confirmed that Matt Damon will portray Odysseus. Now, leaked set photos of Tom Holland, dressed in full costume, have surfaced online, sparking speculation about his role.
The images, which went viral on Wednesday, show Holland on a wooden, ancient-style boat alongside Nolan and other crew members. Rumors suggest that Holland will play Telemachus, the son of Odysseus, who embarks on his own journey while awaiting his father's return.
The film boasts an all-star ensemble, including Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie, Mia Goth, and Jon Bernthal. Based on Homer's ancient Greek epic, The Odyssey follows Odysseus's perilous 10-year journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Along the way, he encounters mythical creatures like the Cyclops Polyphemus and the sorceress Circe, with Mia Goth reportedly playing one of these roles.

As Percy Jackson turns 20, Rick Riordan reveals the truth about those movie adaptations
Two decades after The Lightning Thief first introduced readers to Percy Jackson, author Rick Riordan admits he's never actually watched the blockbuster movies inspired by his work. As the beloved book series hits its 20th anniversary on June 28, 2025, Riordan is looking back at the journey that took him from struggling writer to the architect of a mythological universe. 'When I was writing The Lightning Thief, I knew it was all or nothing,' Riordan shares. The beginning was rocky, his first book event in San Francisco drew just one young reader. But by the second book, The Sea of Monsters, momentum picked up, and by book three, he was confident Percy had a future. Now, 20 years and 17 books later, the Percy Jackson & the Olympians saga has become a cultural touchstone. Beyond the books, it's sparked a Broadway musical, a new Disney+ adaptation, and a massive fan base. Riordan credits the lasting power of Greek mythology, which he says continues to resonate because it explores timeless human experiences - love, revenge, friendship, and identity. Still, there's one part of Percy's legacy he hasn't embraced: the original movie adaptations. 'I never watched them,' Riordan admits. 'I based my opinions on the scripts. I'm thankful they introduced more readers to the books but they're a different experience.' A long-time advocate for representation, Riordan has woven themes of inclusivity and identity throughout the series. From neurodivergent demigods to LGBTQ+ characters, he strives to create space for all readers. 'If you came to Camp Half-Blood,' he says, 'you'd find people who share your background and experiences.' With Percy's world still expanding, Riordan's vision remains clear: every reader deserves to see themselves as the hero.

BLACKPINK to debut new single live on tour, announcement sparks backlash and ticket resales
BLACKPINK are preparing to unveil their first new song in nearly two years during the opening of their Deadline World Tour on July 5 and 6. Following the announcement from YG Entertainment on June 23, many BLINKs took to social media under the hashtag 'BOYCOTT YG ENTERTAINMENT,' accusing the label of mishandling the comeback schedule. Frustration has targeted the group members as well, with some fans suggesting they consented to the rollout and share responsibility for the strategy. The lack of official statements or teasers ahead of the announcement added to the confusion, leaving fans feeling left in the dark until the reveal. Reports of fans reselling concert tickets amid the disappointment have surfaced, though it remains unconfirmed whether the resales directly result from the backlash. BLACKPINK have not released new music since August 2023's track THE GIRLS and their Born Pink album before that. With a world tour kicking off in Seoul less than two weeks before the debut, anticipation among fans has been high—but the timing of the news seems to have dampened the mood. Despite the backlash, the group is expected to proceed with the scheduled live debut. The Seoul shows will mark the beginning of a 31-date world tour, including major North American and European stadium stops.
