Matt Damon is currently immersed in his role for Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film, The Odyssey, while his close friend Ben Affleck expresses a desire to visit him on the bustling set. The camaraderie between these two Hollywood giants is a testament to their long-lasting friendship.

The remarkable journey of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck is not only a story of shared dreams but also of their evolution as talented actors in the film industry. From their humble beginnings, the duo has maintained a tight-knit bond, navigating the complexities of Hollywood together. In a recent interview with GQ, Affleck elaborated on how their career trajectories have diverged, particularly as Damon began to align his project choices with the vision of acclaimed directors.

“Matt learned to prioritize the director as a key factor in his decision-making process for selecting film roles much earlier than I did, which has proven to be a very astute strategy,” Affleck remarked. “He has had countless opportunities to work with legendary filmmakers—I would never have turned down a chance to collaborate with Martin Scorsese or Steven Spielberg. We find ourselves in various situations that dictate our opportunities.”

Continuing his thoughts, Affleck stated, “If Saving Private Ryan came my way, I would jump at the chance. If Martin Scorsese asked me to play even a minor role, I would accept without hesitation. Steven Spielberg is an unparalleled genius in filmmaking, and I hold Christopher Nolan in the same high regard. I’m seriously considering visiting Matt on set just to witness Nolan in action.” The Odyssey chronicles the epic journey of Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, as he strives to return home after the grueling ten-year Trojan War. His voyage is fraught with danger, featuring encounters with mythical beings such as the Cyclops Polyphemus, the enchanting Sirens, and the sorceress Circe. Meanwhile, back in Ithaca, Odysseus is presumed dead, leaving his devoted wife Penelope and son Telemachus to fend off a horde of unruly suitors vying for Penelope’s hand in marriage to seize control of the kingdom.

In his upcoming project, The Accountant 2, Affleck takes center stage once again. This long-awaited sequel has garnered positive reviews, with our own Chris Bumbray praising its engaging narrative at the recent SXSW festival. “The Accountant 2 delivers as an exhilarating buddy action comedy, showcasing both Affleck and Jon Bernthal at their finest,” Bumbray enthused. “I have a fondness for the sleek, modern action films, but The Accountant 2 brings back the essence of old-school storytelling that I have missed. The deeper focus on character development adds an extra layer of enjoyment. I can’t wait for The Accountant 3!” For the complete review, you can explore the link here.

On the topic of The Accountant 3, director Gavin O’Connor has shared some tantalizing hints about the potential sequel. “I have many exciting ideas for the third installment,” O’Connor revealed. “It’s been on my mind for several years now.“
