At her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project Block Party over the weekend, she was asked what it was like walking on the set.

“I haven’t,” she told Variety‘s Marc Malkin. “I leave in a couple of weeks.”

Marc then asked how she prepares to play the goddess of sorcery, aka Circe, confirming the character she is set to portray.

“I don’t know. I’m just going to talk to Chris about it and we’ll see where it goes,” she dished. “It’s super intimidating. I’m like the last one to show up. So, I’ll be like the new kid on the block, and everybody will know what they’re doing and not me.”

If you don’t know, Circe is a primary antagonist to Odysseus and even traps him and his men on her island, transforming his men into animals.

Filming on the upcoming project began back in February, with a first look photo of Matt Damon in character as Odysseus revealed.

Tom Holland has also been spotted on the set in Greece, filming with Matt, while his girlfriend Zendaya also filmed back in March. She actually caught a flight to Italy right after a night shoot on the upcoming third season of Euphoria!
