The new trailer for Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey has been released online, offering the first comprehensive look at the highly anticipated classical Greek epic.
Star-Studded Cast
Starring Matt Damon as the mythological hero Odysseus, the film retells the story of his 10-year journey back to Ithaca after the Greek victory at Troy. The trailer introduces key characters, including Tom Holland as Odysseus's son Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope, and Robert Pattinson as Antinous, one of the suitors vying for Penelope's hand.
Mythological Threats
The footage also offers brief glimpses of the dangers Odysseus faces, such as a whirlpool, the Cyclops, and Charlize Theron as the nymph Calypso. The visual spectacle highlights Nolan's signature large-scale filmmaking.
Production Details
Reportedly budgeted at $250 million (£184 million), The Odyssey was shot entirely on large-format IMAX cameras. Nolan revealed in November that he filmed over 2 million feet of footage for the project. A cinema-only trailer leaked online in July 2025.
Release Date
The Odyssey is scheduled for release on 16 July 2026 in Australia and 17 July 2026 in the UK and US.
