Nolan's 'The Odyssey' Adds to All-Star Cast

Christopher Nolan's next film, 'The Odyssey', will see Matt Damon in the lead role of Odysseus, marking their third collaboration after 'Interstellar' and 'Oppenheimer'. Universal Pictures has announced a July 17, 2026 release date for this adaptation of Homer's epic poem, which will be shot using new IMAX film technology. The story follows Odysseus on his tumultuous ten-year journey home from the Trojan War, facing challenges from vengeful gods and mythical creatures. The film boasts an all-star cast including Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron. Some fans have expressed disappointment over the lack of Greek actors in this adaptation. Production will commence in Sicily and other global locations, with a substantial budget of $250 million, making it Nolan's most expensive project to date.
