There is still no trailer for the film published in 2026 – but at least sometimes images.
A “mystical action epic”, shot with the “Latest IMAX technology”: This is how Universal Pictures describes the current project of the multi-award-winning director Christopher Nolan. What is behind it: the adaptation of the Greek saga “Odyssey” by Homer. The production work for “The Odyssey” is now in full swing, as the first photo of leading actor Matt Damon is now proving.
The “Marsianer” actor takes on the role of Odysseus in Nolan’s work-the legendary Greek king of Ihaka, who goes home on an epic journey after the Trojan War, but which flows into countless wrong ways. What this will look like can now be guessed at.
A first look at Damon as Odysseus
On Monday, February 17th, Universal Pictures – the film production company in which the film is published – released a first look at Matt Damon as Odysseus. The actor with his head is majestically turned to the side before a wall painting. A Corinthian, occupied with a red helmet helmet.
