Universal releases a final trailer for Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” ahead of the film’s worldwide theatrical debut on July 17, 2026. The footage presents the movie as a mythological action thriller based on Homer’s ancient epic, following Odysseus as he travels home after the Trojan War and confronts a series of legendary figures and episodes along the way. Sources describe Odysseus’s journey as spanning major mythic encounters, before his eventual return to Ithaca and his reunion with Penelope.
Casting highlighted across outlets includes Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus. Additional cast members mentioned include Zendaya and Charlize Theron, among a larger ensemble. Several sources emphasize the film’s production approach: it is shot with IMAX film cameras, and this is presented as a central element of the visual presentation. One outlet notes the trailer’s focus on events connected to Odysseus’s circumstances at home as the story moves toward its resolution.
