Release date, cast, trailer, and more

Christopher Nolan Oppenheimer won the Oscars for the best film and the best director at the 96th Academy Awards, but do not expect the visionary filmmaker to rest on his laurels.

In December 2024, Universal Pictures revealed Nolan’s next film OdysseyA bold adaptation of Homer Odyssey, The former Greek epic that has inspired many cinema and television adaptations over the years, including last year The return.

Described by the studio as a “legendary action epic”, the film will be shot in the world “using a brand new IMAX film technology”.

With 70mm IMAX tickets that are already sold a year before its release date in 2026, anticipation could not be higher. Here is all we know so far Odysseyof its distribution and conspiracy details on its release date and the trailers.

Is there a trailer for Odyssey?

Yes, there is a trailer to OdysseyBut you will have to catch it on the big screen. As for the previous films of Nolan, the director shared a first overview of Odyssey More than a year before the release of July 2026.

The teaser is currently playing before Jurassic World Rebirth And SupermanAnd there is a good chance that it will continue to show with the major IMAX outings, especially since Odyssey is the first blockbuster to be filmed entirely with IMAX film cameras.

The trailer, which extends a little more than a minute, offers a bad mood and mysterious overview of the taking of Nolan on Homer’s tale. We see lightning of Matt Damon like Ulysses, king of Ithaca and Tom Holland as son, Telemachus, as well as a dark silhouette played by Jon Bernthal.

“Darkness. Zeus’ law has broken in pieces. A kingdom without king since the death of my master,” surrounds a narrator on stormy ocean and waves crashing along the shore. “He knew it was a war can win. And then, in one way or another, he won it.”

The camera then lingers on two plans of the infamous Trojan horse in history, one throwing a shadow on the beach and the other partially overwhelmed in the water.

From there, the teaser goes to a tense exchange between the Dutch Télémachus and the character of Bernthal.

“I don’t know anything Ulysses, not since Troy,” said Bernthal as a storm.

Telemachus replies: “I have to discover what happened to my father. When did you see him for the last time?”

Joined by other characters (including one played by Lupita Nyong’o), they sit near a fire while Bernthal begins to question the group.

“Interested in rumor, eh? Gossip. Who has a story about Ulysses, huh?” Shouts Bernthal. “You? Do you have a story? Some say it is rich, some say it is poor. Some say that it has perished. Some say it is imprisoned. What are you saying?”

“Imprisoned?” Asks the telemachuse.

“What kind of prison? Good, old man like that,” says Bernthal.

We see ephemeral plans of Greek soldiers, caves and finally, Ulysses himself, drifting at sea on a piece of wood.

What is Odyssey about?

Based on the legendary epic of Homer, one of the oldest surviving stories in literature, Nolan Odyssey tells the story of Ulysses, the king of Ithaca, while he fights to go home after the Trojan War.

What could have been a rapid trip turns into a 10 -year expedition filled with mythical creatures and imminent death experiences involving a cyclops, the sweet sirens and the corce of the sorceières DESS, as played by Charlize Theron.

Back in Ithaca, Ulysses is presumed dead. His wife, Penelope, repels a horde of odious contenders trying to take his throne, while their son, Telemachus, grew up wondering if his father is still alive.

When Odyssey to go out?

Odyssey will occur in theaters on July 17, 2026.

As mentioned, the film presents Damon, Holland, Bernthal and Nyong’o in major roles.

In a recent interview with GqHolland called the experience “the work of a life” and suggested that the public was for something really unique. “The best experience I had on the set. Incredible,” he said. “It was exciting. It was different. And I think the film will be different from everything we have ever seen.”

He then praised Nolan and his wife, producer Emma Thomas, saying: “To get a seat in the front row and be part of the process and collaborate with a real master of his job and learn from him was the best experience I have ever had.”

Holland also shared what it meant to work alongside his heroes, notably Damon and Anne Hathaway.

“To share scenes with them, to learn from them, to become friends with them, I could not have asked for a better job,” he said. “And I am so proud of the work that I did.
