The first trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s feature take of Homer’s The Odyssey is here, and yet the highly anticipated movie has already sold out 70MM Imax tickets at AMC and Regal cinemas.
Matt Damon is seen here as Odysseus, King of Ithaca, leading his soldiers home after the Trojan War. There’s barely a glimpse of a monster in the trailer, but per the poem which is set around eighth century BCE, he faces Polyphemus the Cyclops, Sirens, the nymph Calypso and the witch goddess Circe in the treacherous oceans. If anything, there’s a lot of ocean and a lot of shipwreck with Odysseus and troops inside the Trojan Horse.
‘The Odyssey’ Is First Film Shot Entirely With Imax Film Cameras: How CEO Rich Gelfond Met Christopher Nolan’s Challenge We get a glimpse here of Tom Holland as Odysseus’ son Telemachus, and Anne Hathaway as Odysseus’ wife Penelope. “Promise me you will come back,” says Penelope.
Also starring, but not seen in the first go-round of the trailer, are Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal and John Leguizamo.
The epic from the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer filmmaker Nolan was shot using new Imax technology and comes out on July 17, 2026 in theaters.
Check out the trailer above.
Not watching a BS woke garbage movie where the GREEK GODS are black.
It’s another Hollyweird movie taking White culture and putting in blacks where they don’t belong.
I refuse to see it or give it a dime and I hope it tanks , hard.
Project Hail Mary I do plan seeing. The book is awesome.
This the type of crap I refuse to acknowledge.
That heifer is not the Athena.
I think the actress is very beautiful BUT she is nothing like the images of Athena (some of which are in color) and I’m sure the casting was done out of pure wokeness.
No go on watching this for me.
Oh, that’s just dirty. 😁
There is always O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Hahahahahahahaha!
Yes I would have been interested in Mel Gibson’s take on this story, but regardless I hope it does well and that more such epics are put on screen. :)
I guess Ben Affleck was unavailable ...
the best Odyssey is the Kirk Douglas version, even though they change the story a bit.
You can believe Douglas is brave and full of tricks.
The original Captain Kirk of Star Trek is a similar character: When faced with a hopeless situation, he finds a way to survive. And he loves the ladies.
LOL, I love the way you put that!
Kirk always seems to end up with the green alien female!
