Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film, The Odyssey, is set to premiere on July 17, 2026. The director recently debuted footage from the film at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, showcasing the famous Trojan horse attack. Nolan described filming the movie as an 'absolute nightmare' but in a positive way, highlighting the challenges his crew faced while shooting the film entirely on IMAX 70mm film.

The Odyssey is an adaptation of Homer's epic, following the journey of Odysseus, the mythical king of Ithaca, and his perilous return home after the Trojan War. The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, along with Tom Holland as his son Telemachus, and a star-studded cast including Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson.
