Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ launches worldwide with $250 M IMAX epic

Christopher Nolan’s new film The Odyssey, a $250 million adaptation of Homer’s epic, opened with red‑carpet premieres in New York and London before its global theatrical rollout in July 2026. The star‑studded cast includes Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson and others. Filmed in six countries – Greece, Morocco, Italy, Iceland, Scotland and the United States – it was shot entirely on IMAX 70 mm film, making it the first feature captured wholly with that format.

The movie runs 172 minutes and will debut in the United States on July 17, with Mexico receiving it a day earlier on July 16. Marketing tie‑ins include a Fortnite skin featuring Damon’s Odysseus and a viral AI‑generated image of women in revealing dresses that was later debunked. Critics note the film’s immersive visuals, Ludwig Göransson’s score, and Nolan’s focus on tension rather than mythic spectacle.

Overall, the release is positioned as a major summer blockbuster, combining high‑budget production values, a renowned director, and extensive international promotion.
