Set in ancient Greek mythology, the legendary Greek King Odysseus sets out on a perilous 10-year journey back home to Ithaca, after the Trojan War. Facing mythical creatures, treacherous seas and countless trials, we follow this hero in the greatest cinematic epic of all time.

Known for his cinematic masterpieces such as “Inception” and his Academy Award-winning film, “Oppenheimer”, Christopher Nolan is a favourite name among film enthusiasts and critics alike. With each film of his proving to be a hit at the box office, Nolan’s upcoming 2026 Greek mythology film, “Odyssey”, has been the talk since its announcement. As we wait for the premiere of his next work, here are some fun facts about “Odyssey”:

1. It Will Be Shot Entirely With IMAX Cameras

From the man who grew an entire field of corn to skip the use of CGI, “Odyssey” will be the first film ever to be shot entirely on IMAX cameras. To put it into perspective, “Oppenheimer”, which was Nolan’s film known to have used shots on IMAX, only had 23% of its footage or 70 minutes, shot with the format. This means we’re looking at quality sound and image for his most anticipated film.

2. It Will Be Shot At “Goat Island”

Just as Homer imagined Odysseus resting at the “Island of Wonders”, which is now known as Favignana or “Goat Island” off the coast of Sicily, Nolan will be shooting at the very location where it is said that the Greek King set foot. The film was also said to be shot in other locations around the world, with rumoured locations to feature Monaco, the UK and Greece.

3. It Features A Star-Studded Cast

When you’ve got a decorated director on the cusp of his next biggest film, its cast should also reflect his storytelling to its maximum potential. Joining Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland is speculated to play his son, Telemachus, in the film. Other notable cast members include Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Mia Goth, Robert Pattinson, Jon Berthal, Elliot Page, and Lupita Nyong’o.

4. Film Parents!

It is confirmed that Christopher Nolan will team up with his wife, Emma Thomas, for the production of “Odyssey”. Three-time Academy Award winner and longtime production partner, Thomas, had co-produced all of Nolan’s films with him, including “The Dark Knight” and “Dunkirk”. Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, who worked on “Interstellar, and “Tenet” with Nolan, also joins the project.

5. It’s Set To Release In 2026

Christopher Nolan’s “Odyssey” is set to premiere worldwide on 17th July 2026. With only two released visuals from the movie and cast members filming in Sicily, details of the film are yet to be revealed. However, there is just over a year left until the premiere, so fans can anticipate more teasers in the coming months.
