The Odyssey will be released in the theatres on July 17, 2026. The information about the release date came via a post on Universal Pictures’ X handle. It also stated that the film will be shot using advanced IMAX technology across the globe.
Who Will Be in the Cast of The Odyssey?
No other films by Christopher Nolan were as star-studded as The Odyssey is going to be. Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron are the ones confirmed so far. Initially, several rumors stated that Tom Holland would portray the role of Odysseus in the film. However, it has now been confirmed that Matt Damon has bagged the lead role. The news surfaced via the official X account of The Odyssey film. We also got to witness Damon’s first look as the Greek hero.
As for other roles, it is not yet confirmed what roles will be played by Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and other cast members. There’s still more than a year before the film’s release, so we might get to hear the news about the additional cast and characters in the course of time.
What Is the Story of The Odyssey?
The Odyssey is the adaptation of the ancient Greek Poem of the same name by Homer, written in 800 B.C.E. Divided into 24 books, King of Ithaca, Odysseus heads toward home following the ten years of the Trojan War. However, the journey is full of hurdles as the god of the sea is angry with Odysseus. On the other hand, his son has grown up and lives with his mother, Penelope, who gets approached by 108 men for marriage as no one has any clue about her husband.
It’s basically a river full of content, and now, it would be interesting to see how Nolan will work on the ancient Greek tale. Previously, the man has given us some of the masterpieces, but it would be safe to assume that if he succeeds with the reimagination of The Odyssey’s plot, it will surpass even his own standards.
