Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Teaser Trailer Leaks Ahead of 2026 Release
It didn’t take long for Christopher Nolan’s next big swing to start making waves. Even before The Odyssey finishes filming, the first teaser trailer has slipped through the cracks and landed online — in grainy phone footage, of course.
Nolan’s a stickler for the old-school big-screen reveal. He did it with Oppenheimer too. He wants that first taste of a film to hit you in a theater, not on a tiny phone. But with Jurassic World Rebirth pulling huge crowds this week, Universal used the blockbuster to quietly slip The Odyssey trailer in front of those early screenings. And you know what happens next — out came the smartphones.
What’s In The Odyssey Teaser?
So what did fans see in those shaky leaked clips? It’s only a taste, but it’s enough to get Nolan diehards fired up. The teaser kicks off with haunting shots of dark, restless ocean waves. A voice cuts through: “Darkness. Zeus’ law smashed to pieces. I’m without a king since my master died. He knew it was an unwinnable war. And then, somehow, he won it.”
It’s classic Nolan — mythic, cryptic, and big. The trailer then jumps to Tom Holland, who plays Telemachus, Odysseus’ son. He’s deep in conversation with Jon Bernthal’s character, who’s rallying a room: “Who has a story about Odysseus? Some say he’s rich. Some say he’s poor. Some said he perished. Some said he’s imprisoned.”
Then there’s a shot people keep rewinding — driftwood bobbing in rough seas, with a lone man lying on it. That’s got to be Matt Damon as Odysseus himself.
Who Else Is In This Star-Studded Cast?
The cast reads like Nolan handpicked every A-lister he could get. Holland, Bernthal, and Damon are only the beginning. Anne Hathaway’s on board. Zendaya. Lupita Nyong’o. Robert Pattinson. Charlize Theron. Mia Goth. It’s the kind of lineup that makes people buy a ticket before they even know what role each actor is playing.
The story sticks to the timeless Greek myth — Odysseus fighting to get home after the Trojan War. Monsters, gods, storms, betrayals. It’s one of those stories that never stops inspiring new takes, but with Nolan behind the camera, fans expect more than just pretty visuals.
The wild part? The whole thing is being shot entirely with IMAX cameras. That alone is new territory for something this epic. And the $250 million budget makes it Nolan’s priciest film yet.
Filming started in February, with shoots in Greece, Morocco, and Italy. There’s still plenty left to capture before the big release on July 17, 2026.
For now, Nolan fans will be hunting for better leaks, clearer clips, and any clue about how this ancient myth will turn into another of his mind-bending big-screen spectacles.
