Christopher Nolan drops new trailer for The Odyssey

moviesMay 5, 20261063,512

Universal released a new trailer and poster for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which opens in theaters July 17, 2026. The trailer presents Nolan's retelling of the Homeric epic as a massive, mythic adventure and highlights leading performances from Matt Damon and Tom Holland. Nolan's high-profile summer release makes The Odyssey a major studio tentpole and one of the few modern, large-scale film adaptations of Homeric material, so it matters for audiences tracking blockbuster filmmaking and Nolan's next move.

I just watched the Odyssey trailer and I am so glad they nailed Odysseus’ Boston accent.

British actor Tom Holland playing an American Telemachus saying “My dad is coming home” is SENDING ME.

I’m really sad that this movie isn’t just a sequel to Troy (2004). Sean Bean should be Odysseus, if only because it’s the one role he was ever cast in where he actually survived to the end of the movie.

Nothing Edifying14

I need to hear Odysseus say, “Wicked pissah!” I don’t even know if Bostonians still say that, but this is set in Ancient Times, so…

Polyphemus: What’s your name? Odysseus: Nobahdy

For me, there is nothing that breaks immersion more. I lost my fucking mind when Bill Burr showed up in The Mandalorian. 🥴

The director knows fuck all about boats and sailing, that's for sure. Let's just row out of a storm! I loved the bit where they are running and you can tell they are so desperate to steady their helmets with their hands but they were ordered not to.

Notice there's no dialogue until the very end? I howled.
