Christopher Nolan's next film, following 'Oppenheimer,' is 'The Odyssey,' an IMAX epic based on Homer's ancient Greek poem. The film stars Matt Damon as the hero Odysseus, with a cast that includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. Production is set to begin in early 2025, with a release date of July 17, 2026.
According to Universal Pictures, the film will be shot using new IMAX film technology and will be Nolan's most ambitious project to date. The story follows Odysseus's ten-year journey home after the Trojan War, facing mythical creatures and divine challenges.
Nolan has described the project as a 'mythological action epic' that will blend practical effects with cutting-edge cinematography. The screenplay is written by Nolan himself, based on Homer's epic poem. The film is expected to be a major summer release in 2026.
