The Odyssey has released a new trailer, offering audiences the clearest look yet at filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s epic adaptation of the classic story by Homer.

The latest trailer moves beyond the earlier teaser and gives a stronger sense of the story, focusing on Odysseus’ dangerous journey and the growing unrest in his kingdom of Ithaca.

Matt Damon stars as Odysseus and is seen facing violent storms and deadly mythical creatures during his long journey home.

One of the trailer’s major highlights is the first appearance of the giant Cyclops Polyphemus, shown holding one of Odysseus’ soldiers.

Back in Ithaca, Anne Hathaway appears as Penelope, trying to protect the kingdom during her husband’s absence.

Robert Pattinson plays Antinous, the main rival who leads a group seeking to take over the throne.

The trailer also introduces several other key characters. Zendaya appears as the goddess Athena, who guides and protects Odysseus, while Charlize Theron plays the powerful sorceress Circe.

Other cast members include Jon Bernthal as Menelaus and John Leguizamo as Eumaeus. The film also features Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong'o, Mia Goth and Benny Safdie.

The trailer highlights Nolan’s signature large-scale filmmaking style. According to Deadline, the movie was shot entirely with IMAX 70mm cameras using more than two million feet of film.

The background score is composed by Ludwig Göransson.

Written by Nolan and produced with Emma Thomas under their Syncopy banner, the film will be distributed by Universal Pictures.

The Odyssey is scheduled to hit theatres on July 17, 2026.
