After the impact of Oppenheimer, the filmmaker is now betting on a superproduction that aims to become the greatest epic film of the decade.

A monumental version of Odysseus's journey
With Matt Damon in the role of Odysseus (also known as Ulysses), the story resumes his return to Ithaca after the Trojan War. The hero will have to face the wrath of the gods and a series of trials that will test his cunning and endurance.
The official trailer, released by Universal Pictures, shows a more physical and realistic approach. It highlights the appearance of Polyphemus, recreated with practical effects, a trademark of Nolan's cinema.
An unprecedented technical display
The Odyssey is the first film shot entirely in IMAX format, a decision that reinforces its visual ambition. The premiere is scheduled for July 17, 2026, with a strong focus on spectacle in theaters.
The magnitude of the project is also evident in its cast. In addition to Damon, the film features Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, and Jon Bernthal, among others.
Advance tickets and record-breaking expectations
Given the enormous anticipation, Universal launched an unusual strategy: advance ticket sales for IMAX 70mm screenings one year in advance. The reservations, according to industry reports, already show extremely high demand.

The move confirms that Nolan is aiming not only for critical acclaim but also for a strong box office impact. The combination of myth, stars, and technology seems ideal to replicate the phenomenon of his previous works.
