The Odyssey (2026)

Odysseus (Matt Damon) was the king of the Greek island of Ithaca, who, according to legend and the poet Homer, devised the famous Trojan Horse, which played a significant role in outwitting the defenders of Troy and thus bringing an end to the grueling siege of the city. Once the fighting ended, Odysseus longed for nothing more than to return home to his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and his son Telemachus (Tom Holland). However, according to legend, his daring deeds angered the gods, who decided to make his return as difficult as possible. This is one reason why the word “odyssey” has become synonymous with a journey full of obstacles that lead the traveler away from his goal, rather than bringing him closer to it. While Odysseus defies the gods, giants, the seductive sorceress Circe, and other dangers, his wife Penelope resists the men who seek to capture her—and with her, the entire kingdom of Ithaca. Director Christopher Nolan is renowned for his preference for shooting his films on location and for favoring practical effects over digital ones—effects that can be “conjured up” right on set. “When I’m writing, I try to visualize my film, to see it through the eyes of its future audience. And when I’m shooting, I want that audience to find themselves right inside the film—inside that horse, on board Odysseus’s ship,” explains Nolan. Audiences will be able to enjoy his latest work—without exaggeration, one of the most anticipated films of the year—not only in standard digital projection, but also on classic 35mm film and in 70mm IMAX format. In addition to the subtitled version, a dubbed version of the film will also be available.
