Christopher Nolan’s next project has been revealed, with the Oscar-wining filmmaker taking audiences to mythical Greece with his latest project. Nolan is the filmmaker behind epic films including “Inception,” “The Dark Knight,” “Dunkirk” and his most recent film “Oppenheimer,” which scored big at the 2024 Oscars.

Universal Pictures announced that “Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.”

The screen adaptation of the ancient Greek poem (believed to be written by Homer between 750 and 650 BCE) about a hero’s perilous 10-year journey home after the Trojan War is expected to start filming next year, starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron.

Holland recently spoke about signing onto the project, saying on “The Dish” podcast that the film hasn’t started shooting yet. Pattinson, Damon and Hathaway have all previously appeared in Nolan’s films, including “Tenet,” “Interstellar” and “Oppenheimer.”
