Following much conjecture, Universal finally revealed the film that Christopher Nolan is directing next: an adaptation of the classic Greek poem The Odyseey.
Homer’s work chronicles Odysseus’ return trip to his family following his participation in the Trojan War.
“The Odyssey,” the company announced, is a mythic action epic directed by Christopher Nolan and shot all over the world using brand-new IMAX film technology.
“The film opens in theaters worldwide on July 17, 2026, bringing Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time.”
Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron have all been cast by the Academy Award-winning director for the epic.
