Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan is set to return to the big screen with his next ambitious project titled The Odyssey Movie 2026, scheduled to release worldwide on July 17, 2026.

The Odyssey is inspired by Homer’s legendary epic poem and presents the ancient tale in a grand cinematic format. The film is described as a mythic action epic and marks the first time this classic story will be presented using IMAX® film technology.

The film features an impressive ensemble cast led by Matt Damon, who takes on a central role in the story. He is joined by Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Lupita Nyong’o in major roles. The cast also includes Zendaya and Charlize Theron, further strengthening the film’s star power. Together, the actors bring a mix of experience, range, and global appeal to the project.

Behind the scenes, The Odyssey is produced by Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan under their production banner Syncopy, a partnership known for delivering technically strong and creatively bold films. Thomas Hayslip serves as the executive producer, supporting the project’s large-scale production requirements.

One of the most notable aspects of The Odyssey Movie 2026is its use of newly developed IMAX® film technology, designed to capture enhanced visuals and immersive detail. Nolan has long been associated with pushing the boundaries of film formats, and this project continues that tradition by presenting a mythological story with modern cinematic tools.

Set against vast landscapes and driven by themes of journey, survival, and human resilience, The Odyssey aims to blend action, emotion, and spectacle into a single cinematic experience. The film’s worldwide theatrical release on July 17, 2026, positions it as a major summer release.
