Matt Damon embodied a formidable Trojan Warrior in the initial snapshot of his costume as Odysseus, the renowned Greek monarch of Ithaca, in Christopher Nolan’s movie version of Homer’s The Odyssey.
The globetrotting mythical action saga produced by Universal Pictures, utilizing cutting-edge IMAX cinema technology for the first time, has been set to premier in IMAX cinemas on July 17, 2026.
Filming will start towards the end of this month at places such as the United Kingdom, Morocco, and Sicily.
According to The Insider on December 26th, it was announced that The Odyssey will carry a production budget of $250 million, marking the highest budgeted film in the career of the 54-year-old British director.
54-year-old award-winning actor from the Golden Globes had earlier played the role of U.S. Army General Leslie Groves, the overseer of the Manhattan Project, in the 2023 movie about the atomic bomb titled “Oppenheimer,” directed by Christopher.
In addition, Matt appeared in a minor part as the character Dr. Mann, an astronaut from NASA, in Christopher Nolan’s science fiction blockbuster of 2014 titled Interstellar, alongside Matthew McConaughey.

On the official Twitter account of The Odyssey, users joked about Damon’s leading role by saying something like ‘Another title could be: Finding the Perfect House.’
Additionally, user @DurdenLeodad referenced a phrase reminiscent of the 1997 movie “Good Will Hunting,” where Matt Damon’s character asks, “How do you like your olives?
Indeed, as Damon is renowned for portraying characters who struggle with finding their way back home, this sentiment was expressed by user @hrivaths17656 on Twitter.
‘Whether it’s space, earth, or ancient Greece.’
User @hrivaths17656 remarked: ‘Wonderful, expect a three-hour film about him strolling aimlessly amidst the gods, colliding with them, and attempting to locate his way back home as Nolan manipulates time and reality to ensure he remains bewildered.’
It’s being whispered that the Academy Award-winning actress Anne Hathaway might take on the role of Penelope, the Queen of Ithaca and the long-awaited wife of Odysseus, who has embarked on a dangerous voyage to return home.
It’s been whispered around that Tom Holland, who is engaged to Zendaya and shares the screen with her in a mysterious role, might step into the character of Telemachus, the son of Odysseus.
Reportedly, the Academy Award-winning actress Charlize Theron is set to embody the role of the ancient witch deity Circe in an enchanting legend spanning thousands of years, teeming with sirens and a one-eyed giant (cyclops).
Apart from Dylan O’Brien, the cast of The Odyssey is made up of actors such as Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Samantha Morton, Will Yun Lee, and Mia Goth.
User @alexrodino expressed concern: ‘Why aren’t Greek actors being used for this Greek epic? Isn’t it essential for authenticity?’
User @HarryT44979617 tweeted: “The film is based on Greek mythology, but none of its primary characters are played by Greek or Greek-American actors.
It’s unfortunate and unfair. Are they really considering Zendaya for the role of Helen? That seems implausible. While I appreciate Matt Damon and Christopher Nolan’s work, these casting choices seem disregardful towards Greek history and heritage.
Critics pointed out inconsistencies in the authenticity of Matt’s helmet in the promo, as it was said to be a helmet made of hide, lined with felt, adorned with rows of white boar teeth, and sporting two polished tusks on either side.
User @JimmyFoxhound expressed disappointment saying, “I was hoping for something more imaginative than this predictable design for the wardrobe/helmet.
In 2000, the Coen Brothers creatively reimagined Homer’s The Odyssey on film with their comedic musical titled “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” featuring George Clooney in a leading role.
