Christopher Nolan is set to direct an adaptation of Homer's epic poem, *The Odyssey*, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus. The film, slated for release on July 17, 2026, is described by Universal Pictures as a "mythic action epic" shot using new IMAX film technology. A star-studded cast including Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron will also feature in the film. Nolan's interest in time and memory makes him uniquely suited to adapt *The Odyssey*, a story spanning 20 years and filled with fantastical challenges. The film will explore Odysseus's decade-long journey home after the Trojan War, his encounters with mythological creatures, and the struggles faced by his family in Ithaca. Nolan's signature storytelling style promises a fresh and engaging take on this classic tale.
