When host Stephen Colbert asked Nolan if he had seen ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’, the director didn’t hold back. “I saw it last night. It was fabulous. With Emily Blunt, too. ‘Awesome,'” he said. The comment brings added context given Nolan’s working relationship with Hathaway. A veteran of his films ‘Interstellar’ and ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ Hathaway will reunite with Nolan in the upcoming epic ‘The Odyssey and Queelope.’

In the same interview, Colbert noted that Tom Holland, Hathaway and “The Odyssey” co-stars Robert Pattinson all have superhero hits on their resumes. That observation led Nolan to make a surprising but thoughtful comparison between Homer’s ancient Greek epics and modern comic book franchises. Nolan noted that much of comic book culture, from Marvel to DC, traces its roots to Homer’s epic. He also noted that Homer’s true identity remains unknown, comparing him to George Lucas of his time.
