The first official poster for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has surfaced physically in theaters and also unveiled online, offering audiences their first visual taste of the director’s bold retelling of Homer’s ancient epic.
Alongside the poster's release, a trailer has been officially classified by film boards, signaling that a public debut is just around the corner. The preview is expected to arrive both in theaters and online in the near future.
Current speculation online points to Jurassic World: Rebirth as the likely film to accompany the teaser's premiere. The Universal Pictures blockbuster is scheduled to open in U.S. theaters on July 2, making it a likely launchpad for Nolan’s upcoming release, which shares the same studio.
Early reports describe the trailer as a short teaser, lasting roughly 20 seconds. While no plot details have been confirmed, fans are hoping this initial glimpse will include real footage from the film rather than relying solely on atmospheric visuals or cryptic text.
As anticipation continues to grow, there’s also buzz surrounding the film’s tone and content, with rumors suggesting The Odyssey may carry an R rating.
With Nolan known for pushing creative boundaries, expectations are high for this mythic journey to deliver something both visually striking and emotionally powerful.
The Odyssey is set to make history as it will be the first feature film shot entirely with IMAX film cameras on 65mm IMAX film stock.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey reimagines Homer’s classic with Matt Damon taking on the storied role of Odysseus, the battle-weary king of Ithaca whose journey home becomes a defining legend.
Damon leads an impressive ensemble cast that includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Cosmo Jarvis, Corey Hawkins, Ryan Hurst, and Mia Goth—each actor bringing depth and intensity to Nolan’s bold adaptation.
Nolan not only directs but also adapts the screenplay, drawing fresh cinematic energy from Homer’s enduring epic.
The story follows Odysseus as he struggles to return home after the fall of Troy, a quest that stretches across ten arduous years filled with fantastical creatures, divine interventions, and tragic losses. While he fights to survive across distant lands and treacherous seas, his kingdom faces turmoil: in Ithaca, Queen Penelope and their son Telemachus endure the growing threat of unruly suitors eager to seize the throne in Odysseus’s absence.
