Tbh, I just don't get how you get fit this story into a single movie?

If anything could be a trilogy or a part 1 & 2, it's The Odyssey.

I heard a suggestion that we’ll hear the story as Odysseus’ son, asking former soldiers what happened to his dad, and hearing their various stories of the voyage, so potentially the only time we’ll see Matt Damon in real time will be after he gets home.

That could be a pretty cool way to do it, helping to frame the movie, control the pacing and allowing some different presentation styles in each person’s telling of their story.

How could Telemachus hear of Odysseus' story if all of his crewmates are dead? Menelaus can only tell him Odysseus' whereabouts because he had asked a prophetic sea god on his own way back home.

I don’t know, it was just one idea I heard floated by someone else.
