The final trailer for director Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey was released on July 1, 2026, offering a fuller look at the film ahead of its theatrical release later this month. Based on Homer’s epic Greek text of the same name, the film stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.

The new trailer expands on the scale of Nolan’s adaptation, showing more of Damon’s Odysseus and Charlize Theron’s Calypso, while also highlighting the Trojan Horse sequence. Universal has described that sequence as a large-scale practical set piece involving thousands of soldiers.

The Odyssey was shot across multiple international locations, including Greece, Morocco, Italy, Iceland and Scotland. Nolan and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema used new, lighter-weight IMAX cameras on the film after years of working around the format’s size, noise and logistical demands.

The film also features Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra, Zendaya as Athena, Himesh Patel as Eurylochus, Mia Goth as Melantho, John Leguizamo as Eumaeus, Jon Bernthal as Menelaus and Benny Safdie as Agamemnon.

The wider cast includes Elliot Page, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, Jesse Garcia, Will Yun Lee, Rafi Gavron, Shiloh Fernandez, Corey Hawkins, Nick E Tarabay, Jimmy Gonzales, Maurice Compte, Michael Vlamis, Iddo Goldberg, Josh Stewart, Ryan Hurst, Anthony Molinari, Jovan Adepo, Logan Marshall-Green, James Remar, Travis Scott, Sean Avery and Ian Casselberry.

The film is produced by Emma Thomas and Nolan for Syncopy. Thomas Hayslip serves as executive producer.

The Odyssey is scheduled for theatrical release on July 17, 2026.
