The first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s large-scale film adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey has been released online, offering an early look at the director’s latest epic, according to The Guardian.
Matt Damon stars as the legendary Greek hero Odysseus, with the trailer featuring a series of shots showing a bearded Damon on his journey home following the fall of Troy. Over the images, his voice declares: “After years of war … no one could stand between my men … and home … not even me.”
Viewers also catch brief glimpses of Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Odysseus’s long-suffering wife, and Tom Holland as their son Telemachus, as the hero battles violent seas and other dangers on his voyage back to Ithaca.
The trailer’s release follows a six-minute preview that screened exclusively in cinemas on 12 December. Earlier, a different theatrical trailer debuted in July but was later leaked online. This newly released version appears to differ significantly from the earlier footage and comes after Nolan revealed he shot the film using 2 million feet of IMAX film.
The Odyssey is scheduled to premiere in Australia on 16 July 2026, with UK and US releases following on 17 July.
