Fans itching to get a glimpse of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Summer 2026 epic The Odyssey finally have a trailer to dissect. Watch it below.
The trailer follows Matt Damon’s Odysseus as he’s shipwrecked with his army and fights his way home across land and sea, venturing into cavernous darkness — including a glimpse of the Trojan horse and a cave where a massive beast lurks in the shadows — with brief shots of Tom Holland as Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as Penelope. It all builds to Odysseus’ vow: “After years of war, no one could stand between my men and home. Not even me.”
Nolan both directed and wrote the film, which features a star-studded ensemble cast including Damon, Holland and Hathaway alongside Zendaya (Athena) Jon Bernthal (Menelaus), Robert Pattinson (Antinous), Charlize Theron (Circe), John Leguizamo (Eumaeus), Lupita Nyong’o, Mia Goth (Melantho), Benny Safdie (Agamemnon), Bill Irwin, Elliot Page, and more.
