The Odyssey: Trailer for Christopher Nolan film shows Matt Damon heading home to rescue family
- On Monday night, Universal Pictures released a new trailer for Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's 'The Odyssey', featuring Matt Damon as Odysseus battling the Cyclops and Robert Pattinson as the villainous Antinous.
- Nolan wrote the screenplay and produced the film alongside Emma Thomas under their production company, Syncopy. This 13th directorial feature carries a reported budget of $250 million, making it his most expensive project.
- Featuring an ensemble cast including Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, and Charlize Theron as Circe, the film was shot entirely on Imax cameras depicting Odysseus's perilous return to Ithaca from the Trojan War.
- Universal positioned the film for theatrical release on July 17, 2026, opening concurrently with Disney and Sony's blockbuster 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', echoing the 2023 clash between 'Oppenheimer' and 'Barbie'.
- While Nolan's previous film 'Oppenheimer' earned nearly $959 million and won seven Academy Awards, 'The Odyssey' remains a gamble given unfamiliar source material, though the trailer's Monday debut on 'The Late Show' with Stephen Colbert builds summer blockbuster anticipation.
