The Odyssey unveils new poster featuring Matt Damon’s Odysseus
The newly released poster gives fans their clearest look yet at Damon’s version of Odysseus. He’s shown in full armor, gripping a sword and ready for battle, with the Trojan Horse looming in the background.
The tagline, “Defy the Gods,” sets the tone for a story driven by rebellion and survival. Another caption confirms key details: “A film by Christopher Nolan. Shot entirely with IMAX film cameras. In theaters 7 17 26.”
Online reactions came in fast, and they’ve been mostly positive. Some fans praised the design, calling it “the best poster of 2026,” while others highlighted the scale Nolan is aiming for. One comment read, “This poster goes so hard,” while another pointed out the challenge of adapting such a massive story, wondering how the film will handle its length and depth.
The film is based on Homer’s ancient epic, which follows Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, on a decade-long journey home after the Trojan War. Along the way, he faces deadly threats and loses many of his men. Key figures like Telemachus, Penelope, Athena, Circe, Poseidon, and Zeus all play major roles in shaping the story.
Nolan’s version brings together a massive cast. Alongside Damon, the lineup includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron. The movie is also making history as the first to be shot entirely using IMAX cameras, continuing Nolan’s push for immersive theatrical experiences.
Filming has taken place across multiple global locations, including Sicily, Greece, the U.K., and Morocco, adding to the film’s epic scale. With its mix of mythology, action, and Nolan’s signature storytelling style, The Odyssey is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious releases of 2026, set to hit theaters worldwide on July 17.
