Official Synopsis:
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is a sweeping action epic, filmed globally using cutting-edge IMAX film technology. This marks the first time Homer's seminal tale will grace IMAX screens, opening in theaters worldwide on July 17, 2026.
The film chronicles Odysseus's arduous ten-year journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. While Universal remains tight-lipped on further details, reports suggest an impressive ensemble cast.
Early reports indicated Matt Damon was in negotiations for the lead role, marking his return to Universal after the seven-Academy-Award-winning Oppenheimer. Speculation points to a star-studded cast that may also include Charlize Theron, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong'o, and Robert Pattinson.
