THE ODYSSEY: HD Version Of Leaked Teaser Now Online Along With New Theatrical Poster

Though the teaser has yet to be officially released, we do have a high-quality version of the leaked preview of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey that's currently playing in theaters...

The first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is now playing in theaters ahead of Jurassic World Rebirth, and, as expected, some poor-quality leaks have been doing the rounds online since yesterday afternoon.

Universal has been working hard to ensure that the leaks are removed from social media almost as quickly as they go up, but an HD version of the teaser has now been uploaded via an international site.

The teaser doesn't reveal very much, but we do get a first glimpse of two main characters, some sweeping shots of the ocean and the beaches of Troy, and what appears to be the remains of the legendary Trojan Horse, which the Achaeans used to infiltrate the city.

The footage begins with a voiceover (there's been speculation that this is Matt Damon's Odysseus, but we're not so sure), before cutting to Tom Holland's Telemachus discussing his father's disappearance with Jon Bernthal's mysterious character (likely an ally of Odysseus' from the Trojan War).

“I know nothing of Odysseus, not since Troy,” Bernthal says. "Interested in rumor, huh? Gossip. Who has a story about Odysseus? Some say he’s rich or some say he’s poor. Some say he perished. Some say he’s imprisoned. What say you?”

When Telemachus wonders if Odysseus could really have been captured and imprisoned, Bernthal responds: "What kind of prison could hold a man like that?" We then see the mythical hero's lifeless body floating on a piece of wreckage in the ocean.

Universal has also released a new poster (which is basically the same as the initial teaser art, but showing more of the statue), which you can check out below. Click HERE to check out the teaser.

"Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand-new IMAX film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026," said Universal Pictures in a statement when the project was announced.

Homer's ancient Greek poem follows Odysseus and his crew on their journey home following the Trojan War, encountering all manner of threats along the way, including the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch-goddess Circe.

The poem has been adapted (sometimes very loosely) a number of times before, starting with the 1911 silent film by Giuseppe de Liguoro, and followed by 1954’s Ulysses starring Kirk Douglas. The Cohen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) is also based on the epic adventure, as is 2024’s The Return starring Ralph Fiennes.

Anime fans may also recall the '80s Ulysses 31 series, which put a futuristic spin on the tale.

Back in 2015, Deadpool and Wolverine star Hugh Jackman was in talks to play Odysseus in an adaptation from Lionsgate and director Francis Lawrence, but the project never got off the ground.

The Odyssey is due for release in theaters on July 17, 2026.

@McMurdo - Wow! Really I'm shocked that the CGI and look of the film are bad given that's Edward's real strengths. No good Dino scenes at all?? Seeing it tonight..

@amesjazz - the raft scene and the Rancor have like 2 mins of screen time a piece. They barely happen.

Jurassic World Rebirth is the worst film I've seen this year. What a horrendous film. Awful, awful characters. Zero tension the entire run time. Random family boating across the Pacific for reasons. Scar Jo as the most unbelievable mercenary ever. Terrible cgi and an instagram filter color grading that ruins the imagery. It was like watching a superbly boring video game. It's only slightly better than Dominion but worse that Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom. How David Koepp has fallen so heavily as a writer is beyond me. It makes me worry for the new Spielberg UFO film as he's the screenwriter.

I saw the leaked teaser , it was intriguing if not terribly exciting as of yet…

Given the framing of this teaser and the initial report that Nolan’s next after Oppenheimer would be a father & son story , this makes me think that is indeed true with equal focus in this version on both Holland’s Telemachus as he looks for his father and Damon’s Odysseus as he tries to come back home.

Looks great. Unlike a.. Gunn, Nolan has never made a garbage film.

@TheNewYorkerr - what is his garbage film? Just curious
LibraMatter

@TheNewYorkerr - Idk, Tenet was kind of meh. Looked great but was really trying too hard. Not very enjoyable. Nolan makes great looking smart films but at times feel less entertaining and more like homework. Also, I’m someone who loves to dissect films and go deep but Tenet was a little exhausting.
TheNewYorkerr
TheNewYorkerr - 7/2/2025, 9:24 PM
@LibraMatter - shit, Tenet wasn’t necessarily my cup of tea either LOL Maybe Nolan’s work is more suited for the highbrow crowd(?) And not so much for people who want mindless content, idk.
LibraMatter
LibraMatter - 7/2/2025, 9:39 PM
@TheNewYorkerr - possibly. I loved a bunch of his other films like Momento, the Prestige, Interstellar, Inception and the Batman trilogy but sometimes some filmmakers make films that just don’t hit. I don’t think anyone I’ve talked to have mentioned liking Tenet. Slight side note, the only high brawl films I don’t like are usually period piece British films. Most of them. They’re usually monotone.

@LibraMatter - Tenet feels like Nolan forgot what point he was trying to make 2/3’s of the way through filming. Like he had a damn good idea and explanation but just couldn’t remember how he initially put it together.
LibraMatter
LibraMatter - 7/2/2025, 11:16 PM
@WruceBayne - I think you’re right. He densed that film to death. Over complicated it. Honestly, I think I just gotta watch it about 10 more times and I might really enjoy it.

@LibraMatter -

Nolan is the best director of his generation, but Tenet was a failure. Pretentious types act all high and mighty and say we don’t understand it. Bullsh!t! It’s just bad. It happens. No one is perfect.

@TheNewYorkerr -

Except for Tenet.

Pfff, who cares. We have better things to talk about. Such as the iconic Iron Heart.

I'll see it tomorrow, not on my phone like a dweeb. It's obvious Universal wants to front load Rebirth as much as possible, but I don't think this is a Meet Joe Black kind of situation

I would watch a movie in which society, the world, all eyes are focused on a young boy. All kinds of reactions. Hatred, admiration, fear, envy... All centered around an ordinary boy who becomes the most extraordinary creature in the universe.

@Super12 - Action-reaction, the plot focuses on the reaction.

There are no heroes or villains here. Just something beyond human understanding and human reaction to something they don't understand.
