Two-time Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan is venturing into ancient Greek mythology with his ambitious adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, slated for theatrical release on July 17, 2026. Known for assembling powerhouse casts, Nolan has gathered an impressive roster of A-list talent for this epic retelling.
