Elliot Page Reveals No Acting Offers After ‘The Odyssey’ | Casting Struggles And Net Worth

Appearing in a Christopher Nolan blockbuster might seem like the kind of opportunity that sends an actor’s phone ringing. Elliot Page says that has not been his experience. Despite earning attention for his performance as Sinon in The Odyssey, Page recently acknowledged that he does not have another major acting role lined up and invited interested filmmakers to call him.

The admission is notable for an actor whose career stretches from the breakthrough success of Juno to Inception, the X-Men films and four seasons of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy. Page remains eager to act and believes some of his best performances could still be ahead of him, even as he acknowledges that Hollywood sees him differently than it did before his transition. At the same time, he is developing projects through PAGEBOY Productions rather than relying entirely on casting offers.

Elliot Page Says He Has No Major Acting Role Lined Up After ‘The Odyssey’

Elliot Page is opening up about a frustrating reality that many actors quietly face in Hollywood. Despite appearing in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster The Odyssey, Page says he does not currently have another major acting role lined up. When podcast host Kevin McCarthy asked whether the film had brought him “a zillion calls,” Page answered, “No, Kevin, I’m not,” before adding that filmmakers were welcome to contact him. 

In The Odyssey, Page plays Sinon, a Greek warrior, marking his first collaboration with Nolan since Inception. The movie opened in theaters on July 17, 2026, and became one of the year's biggest box-office releases.

Page also reflected on how the industry’s perception of him has changed since he came out as transgender in 2020. He said he was “seen in a certain way before” and acknowledged that getting cast now feels “a little tricky,” while leaving the exact reasons open to interpretation. Page and McCarthy briefly joked that Hollywood’s supposed problem might be “the Canadian thing,” using humor after Page alluded to the more serious difficulties affecting his casting prospects.

The timing makes Page’s comments particularly striking. The Odyssey has become a major box-office success, earning more than $1.6 billion worldwide as of September 7, 2026. Its commercial performance makes Page’s admission that he has no major acting role lined up particularly notable.

Elliot Page Is Taking a More Active Role in Finding His Next Project

With no major acting role currently announced, Page is considering a more proactive approach to his career. During his conversation with McCarthy, he acknowledged that he has traditionally waited for filmmakers to decide whether he was right for a part. Now, he is considering contacting directors himself and building creative relationships that could lead to new projects.

That approach aligns with his work through PAGEBOY Productions, which has allowed him to develop films, documentaries and television projects rather than relying entirely on outside casting decisions.

Page said it is “a little tricky” for him to be cast right now and suggested that the reasons may be “pretty obvious.” He did not directly accuse a particular studio or filmmaker of discrimination, but he noted that he had previously been “seen in a certain way” and that the industry’s perception of him is different now.

Feeling at Home in His Body: Why Page Believes His Best Work May Be Ahead

Elliot Page may be facing a frustrating lack of acting offers, but he is far from discouraged about his future. In fact, he believes he is in a better place creatively than ever before. Looking back at his earlier work, Page has spoken about how difficult it was to perform while feeling disconnected from his own body, something that took a lot of emotional energy away from his work.

Page said that acting before his transition sometimes required him to work through an additional, largely unconscious performance before reaching the character. Now that he feels more connected to and comfortable in his body, he believes he can approach roles with greater freedom, and potentially produce some of his best work.

Page described returning to a Nolan set after his transition as a cathartic, full-circle experience. He said he became emotional when he finished filming The Odyssey, contrasting that sense of presence with the personal discomfort he experienced while making Inception.

From ‘Juno’ to ‘The Odyssey’: Elliot Page’s Career and Current Projects

Elliot Page’s career has taken him from Canadian television to some of Hollywood’s biggest films and most talked-about television shows. Page began building his career in Canadian productions such as Pit Pony, earning early recognition before his acclaimed performance in Hard Candy. Juno then brought him international fame and an Academy Award nomination. From there, roles in Inception and the X-Men franchise showed that he could move comfortably between character-driven films and major studio productions.

His career entered another major chapter with Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, where he played Viktor Hargreeves across all four seasons. After Page publicly came out as transgender in December 2020, the series incorporated Viktor’s transition into Season 3, with the character continuing under the name Viktor Hargreeves through the show’s final season in 2024.

More recently, Page reunited with Nolan for The Odyssey, 16 years after they worked together on Inception. Playing Sinon in the 2026 epic gave Page another major collaboration with the filmmaker who had previously cast him as Ariadne in the Oscar-winning sci-fi thriller.

Page’s net worth has not been publicly verified. Some celebrity-finance publications estimate it at approximately $8 million, but that figure is speculative and may not reflect his current assets, expenses, or contractual earnings. His known income sources include acting, producing, directing, and writing, including his bestselling 2023 memoir Pageboy.

His work outside acting includes narrating and co-executive producing Second Nature, a documentary examining sexuality and gender diversity across more than 1,500 animal species. PAGEBOY Productions is also developing an adaptation of Eliot Schrefer’s science-fiction novel The Darkness Outside Us and a television adaptation of the video game Beyond: Two Souls. Neither adaptation currently has a publicly confirmed release date.
