Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ Sets Sail in IMAX on July 17, 2026

Christopher Nolan is tackling Homer’s epic in The Odyssey. The film follows Odysseus after the Trojan War on a perilous journey through iconic challenges and divine forces. The movie hits cinemas on July 17, 2026 and was shot entirely with IMAX film cameras for maximum impact. Expect grand sea battles, legendary monsters, and sweeping temple vistas built for the biggest screens. Matt Damon stars as the weary king determined to return to Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and Telemachus (Tom Holland). Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyong’o round out a stellar ensemble in key mythic roles. Nolan’s obsession with time, sacrifice, and human fragility seems made for Greek myth. This could become one of cinema’s defining events of 2026.
