Universal Pictures releases a new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film adaptation of Homer’s Greek epic, “The Odyssey.” The trailer debuts on Monday night during an episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” according to both outlets. The footage previews Odysseus in action, including a battle sequence involving the Cyclops. It also introduces Antinous, a villainous character portrayed by Robert Pattinson, who is shown working to take the throne of Ithaca.
The new trailer highlights the film’s broad ensemble cast. Both sources list Matt Damon as Odysseus, with additional cast members including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, Benny Safdie, and Jon Bernthal, among others. Taken together, the coverage focuses on the trailer’s key story elements—Odysseus’ conflict with the Cyclops and Antinous’ bid for control of Ithaca—alongside confirmation that Universal is continuing to promote Nolan’s interpretation of the classic tale ahead of its release.
