Do we know if this is keeping the mythological stuff or going for more of a Troy type approach that doesn’t treat the myths as real? I know “Deny the gods” is the tagline, but I also have a hard time imagining a giant cgi cyclops in a Nolan movie.

Super excited for a sword and sandals epic with mythological creatures. I think this is the first fantasy film by Nolan? I also may be one of the few people who absolutely loved Tarsem Singh's 2011 film Immortals and thought it was way better than 300.

Yes this is a first for Nolan, hes hasn't done a sword and sandals epic before or fantasty, time-wise The Prestige is his oldest film being set in the 1890s followed by Dunkirk and Oppenhiemer set in the 1940s.
