A shot of Dalton from behind in the scene, holding a sword and ready to pounce at the giants, is used in one of the posters for the movie.

Included in this article is a selfie of the woman mentioned in the title and description, she was a stunt double for Matt Damon:

There was a much better portrait on the front page. No idea why they didn't include it in the article.

Much better indeed, showing the arms they're talking about.

If you listen carefully, you can hear all the conservative snowflakes losing their minds.

I doubt it. They just call her ugly and trans and move on.

actor Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s interpretation of Homer’s epic tale, had said in an interview that she had “the greatest arms I have ever seen.”

Damon had been discussing one of the film’s pivotal scenes when he gently corrected his interlocutor, who had mistakenly assumed the biceps in the shot were his own: They belonged to Dalton, who some might be surprised to learn is his stunt double.

Confirmed. That's a damn fine arm.
