Universal’s official logline describes Nolan’s version of The Odyssey as a “mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new Imax film technology.” It’s based on Homer’s epic poem about the King of Ithaca, who went through hell and high water and faced some of the most dangerous creatures of Greek mythology on his long journey back home after the Trojan War.
The first look at Nolan’s The Odyssey confirms Matt Damon will take on the lead role, and he’ll be in pretty good company. The A-list ensemble of this project also includes Tom Holland, Mia Goth, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, and Elliot Page, among others.
The Odyssey will kick off production this spring, and parts of this epic will be filmed on the Island of Favignana in Sicily, which was mentioned in Homer’s poem. It will be released by Universal Pictures on July 17, 2026.

After a lot of rumors surrounding Nolan’s next feature, Universal Pictures released an official statement confirming he’s getting ready to adapt The Odyssey. The studio described this project as “a mythic action epic shot across the world” that “brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time.”
The Odyssey takes place in the wake of the Trojan War, and it sees the Greek hero Odysseus facing many obstacles on his decade-long journey to return to Ithaca to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. It features encounters with many iconic characters in Greek mythology, including the Cyclops, witch-goddess Circe, sea monsters Scylla and Charybdis, and the Sirens.
Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron have previously joined the cast of this star-studded project. The Odyssey will arrive in theaters on July 17, 2026, and it marks Nolan’s second collaboration with Universal, following the groundbreaking success of his Oscar-winning historical drama Oppenheimer.
]]>Not much is known about Nolan’s next project, a follow-up to his acclaimed historical epic Oppenheimer, which won seven Academy Awards this year. Universal Pictures will release it in theaters and on IMAX on July 17, 2026, and rumor has it that production will kick off in early 2025.
This project has been pretty star-studded even before Lupita Nyong’o hopped on board. Matt Damon, who starred in Nolan’s Oppenheimer, was the first actor attached to this film, and he was closely followed by the Spider-Man star Tom Holland. Emmy winner Zendaya and Oscar winner Anne Hathaway joined the cast just a few days ago.
Lupita Nyong’o got her big break with the supporting role in Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave, which won her the Academy Award. She found mainstream popularity with her role in the Black Panther franchise and also led the films Queen of Katwe and Us. She starred in A Quiet Place: Day One earlier this year and voiced the titular character in the animated film The Wild Robot.
]]>Nolan is one of Hollywood’s most secretive directors, and not much is known about the plot of his next film – but we know when we’ll get to see it on the big screen. Universal Pictures will release it on July 17, 2026, and the production will most likely kick off in early 2025.
Rumor has it that this project will reunite Nolan with Matt Damon, who was a part of the star-studded cast of Oppenheimer. Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. both won Oscars for their performances in this historical epic, while the A-list cast also included Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh, in addition to Damon.
Oppenheimer became a true cultural phenomenon and one of the highlights of Nolan’s career following its release last summer. It earned $977 million worldwide, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2023, and went on to win seven Oscars, including best picture and best director for Nolan.
]]>Oppenheimer is based on the book American Prometheus, written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, and it follows the life of the theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. He was the director of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first nuclear weapons during World War II, leading to the creation of the first atomic bomb.
The trailer opens with a voiceover from Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer saying, “We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify. They would fear it until they understand it, and they won’t understand it until they’ve used it.” It’s intersected with a series of visually stunning shots, that we’re used to seeing in a Christopher Nolan movie.
In addition to Murphy, the star-studded cast of Oppenheimer also includes Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, and Kenneth Branagh, among others. It will be released on July 21, 2023 by Universal Pictures, marking Nolan’s first film in over two decades not to be distributed by Warner Bros.
The Blackkklansman star has been tapped as the lead in Nolan’s next event film.
While plot and character details are under wraps, the film is said to be an action blockbuster, with sources telling the outlet that the feature is “a massive, innovative, action blockbuster, which will again be shown in Imax.”It is also known that Nolan recently finished the script for the movie and that it has been slated for a July 17, 2020 release — a date the studio reserves for the director.
Nolan’s latest feature, Dunkirk, was a huge success in the box office bringing in a whopping $526 million worldwide. It also earned him an Oscar nomination for director.
