Wiki.
The Odyssey is an upcoming epic fantasy-action film written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan as an adaptation of the eponymous epic poem by Homer. Distributed by Universal Pictures and produced by Nolan's production company Syncopy, the film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, the Ancient Greek king of Ithaca, and follows his journey home after the Trojan War to reunite with his wife, Penelope. The ensemble cast also features Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron.
In October 2024, Nolan was revealed to be developing his next film at Universal, after doing so with his prior film Oppenheimer (2023). Casting took place in the following months, and it was announced in December to be an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey. Filming began in late February 2025, taking place throughout Morocco, Italy, Greece, and the United Kingdom. With an estimated production budget of $250 million, it is poised to be the most expensive film of Nolan's career.
The Odyssey is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on July 17, 2026.
