Christopher Nolan is taking audiences back to one of history’s greatest adventures: The Odyssey.
This week’s Trailer Tuesday spotlight shines on The Odyssey, the highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of Homer’s legendary epic, and if the latest trailer is any indication, moviegoers are in for one of the year’s most breathtaking cinematic experiences.
Leading the all-star cast is Matt Damon as the legendary Greek hero Odysseus, whose perilous journey home following the Trojan War is filled with mythical creatures, impossible choices, and the unwavering hope of reuniting with his wife, Penelope played by Anne Hathaway.
Meanwhile, Zendaya steps into the role of the goddess Athena, guiding Odysseus throughout his legendary quest, while Tom Holland portrays his son, Telemachus, who embarks on his own journey as he searches for his missing father.
The trailer showcases Nolan’s signature blend of massive practical filmmaking and intimate storytelling, delivering stunning ocean battles, towering ancient cities, breathtaking landscapes, and heart-pounding action—all captured entirely with IMAX cameras. The scale alone makes The Odyssey feel like the kind of cinematic event audiences have been waiting for.
The film also boasts an incredible supporting cast, including Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Benny Safdie, and Mia Goth, making it one of the most star-studded ensembles of the year.
Following the Oscar-winning success of Oppenheimer, Nolan once again pushes the boundaries of epic filmmaking, adapting one of literature’s most enduring stories for a new generation.
The Odyssey sails into theaters and IMAX on July 17, 2026.
