Christopher Nolan’s next film announced as ‘mythic action epic’ The Odyssey


The Oppenheimer director’s adaptation of Homer is scheduled for release in the summer of 2026, and will feature Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Zendaya

News that Nolan was working on a new project – following the seven-Oscars-winning Oppenheimer – first emerged in October, when Spider-Man’s Tom Holland was revealed to be in talks to star alongside Matt Damon. Nolan has chosen to stick with Oppenheimer producers Universal, after ending his previous relationship with the studio Warner Bros when it temporarily abandoned exclusive theatrical distribution during the Covid pandemic. The Odyssey, composed in the 8th or 7th century BC and attributed to Homer, has been only rarely adapted for the screen, with perhaps the most prominent example being the 1954 Italian film Ulysses starring Kirk Douglas and Silvana Mangano.
