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.

Would have preferred new or lesser known actors for this.
And someone other than Nolan at the helm. 😕
LoL I know I’m in the minority in that.
All of Nolan’s movies make me feel distant. Not bored, but uninvested. I think I’d like Mel Gibson for something like this.
His films have soul.
I thought about it, the earlier “Trojan War” is probably in the list somewhere as well. Thx. I like the production starring Armand Assante (sp?), but by large the original comes off like a romance novel from the ancient world. 😊⛵
‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou’ was another modern reinterpretation of the Odyssey.
Should have left him on Mars.................
😁😏.......................
I thought “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” was the modern version..........
‘Memento’ was mind-boggling good!
Now it all makes sense. Sorta.
"Hahd to poht! Chah'bdis has wicked lawng ahms to grab you with."
Mars kicked him out.
The Odyssey (1997)
Odysseus endures years of hardship trying to return home to Greece after his victory in the Trojan War.

Funny meme, thanks for posting it.
PHM has a huge built in audience, I am really looking forward to it. I loved the book.
