What about the rest of the characters?
The Odyssey has A LOT of characters, and while the casting decisions for the most relevant ones have already been announced, I can't help but wonder who's going to play the rest of them. Here are some of them without an assigned actor at the moment. Maybe they don't even appear in the final film, who knows. Also, as is typical with recent Nolan films, we can be pretty sure that some well-known faces will be popping up unannounced in the movie.
Zeus
God of thunder, he appears multiple times in the story discussing Odysseus' fate with the rest of the gods.
Poseidon
God of sea. He appears multiple times through the entire odyssey, making Odysseus' return to Ithaca almost impossible.
Hermes
God of travellers, he appears twice in the Odyssey: one to convince Calypso to free Odysseus, and to help Odysseus not fall for Circe's magic.
Alcinous
Ruler of the phaiacians, he provides Odysseus with a boat after listening to his entire tale.
Nausicaa
Daughter of Alcinous, ruler of the phaiacians, she's the one that finds Odysseus on the island.
Anticlea
Odysseus' mother, who he finds out died while visiting Tyresias in the Underworld.
Laertes
Odysseus' father, he appears at the very end of the story.
Aeolus
He's the ruler of the winds that Odysseus and his crew visit twice during their travel. He gives Odysseus a bag containing all the winds.
Eurycleia
One of Penelope's most loyal servants. She recognizes Odysseus under his disguise as a beggar because of a scar he has.
Nestor
He's an elderly warrior that fought alongside Odysseus in Troy. Telemachus visits him at the beginning of the story, while looking for his father.
Achilles
The warrior makes a little appearance while Odysseus and his crew visit the Underworld.
Arnaeus
He's a beggar that tries to beat Odysseus in a fight to entertain the suitors.
Leucothea
She's a minor goddess who helps Odysseus with a veil to survive Poseidon's storm, after he leaves Calypso's island.
Yes - I know it's been said that the gods will not be shown in physical form. But as of today, it has not been confirmed as "100% we will not see Zeus in physical form", so I'm including them as possible appearances. I've also included Achilles, because although there's been a lot of online discussion about Elliot Page playing him, it's just a possibility and it's not clear who will actually play him (I personally think Elliot Page is going to be Elpenor).
I honestly see Florence Pugh playing the role of Nausicaa, she looks the part. And she has already worked with Nolan in Oppenheimer.
And I can picture Ellen Burstyn playing Anticlea, Odysseus' mother. Also, she worked with Nolan in Interstellar.
And, why not, I also see Kenneth Branagh playing Zeus. That could be extremely cool.
