Cyclops, beards and a cute puppy: Check out new ‘The Odyssey’ trailer 05.05.2026

Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey', his 13th film and first since 'Oppenheimer', has unveiled a new full-length trailer for the Homeric epic adaptation. Starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, and featuring Charlize Theron, Zendaya, and Lupita Nyong'o, the film boasts a $250 million budget—Nolan's largest yet—and is the first shot entirely on IMAX cameras. Set for global release on 17 July 2026, it will compete with Marvel's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', also starring Holland. The darkly aesthetic trailer reveals the Cyclops and a puppy, while Nolan draws parallels between ancient epics and modern comics, calling Homer "the Marvel of its day." However, the project faces criticism over filming in occupied Western Sahara and casting decisions targeted by Elon Musk.
