After news broke that Shōgun actor Cosmo Jarvis had exited Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic The Odyssey due to scheduling issues, it appears the Oscar-winning director has found a replacement. Actor Logan Marshall-Green, known for his work in movies like Prometheus and Upgrade, will be taking over the role, though details about the role remain under wraps. Cosmo Jarvis walked away from The Odyssey because of his commitment to Young Stalin. A movie based on the best-selling book by Simon Sebag Montefiore, which focuses on the early life of Joseph Stalin, the infamous former Prime Minister of the Soviet Union.
