Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey<\/a> is starting to get more updates. The upcoming action epic marks his follow-up to the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer, and, as always, is as star-studded as it gets.<\/p>\n

The upcoming The Odyssey, his mythological adaptation based on Homer’s epic, will reunite Nolan with Matt Damon<\/a>, who plays Odysseus, as well as Anne Hathaway. In a series of newly released pictures from Empire Magazine, Hathaway’s role, as well as Tom Holland’s and Mia Goth’s, were officially confirmed. While the former two are in line with the previous predictions, Mia Goth’s comes as a surprise.<\/p>\n

While the upcoming action epic will journey Damon’s Odysseus homecoming story, his character has been known since the beginning. However, it is the other actors in the star-studded ensemble cast that left fans wondering. In the new images, it’s confirmed that Anne Hathaway will be playing Penelope<\/a>, Odysseus’ wife and queen of Ithaca. This had been previously rumored earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

The photos also confirm Tom Holland’s role in the film<\/a>. The Spider-Man star was rumored to play Odysseus’ son Telemachus, and the pictures confirm that.<\/p>\n

However, the biggest twist came with Mia Goth’s character. The Frankenstein actress<\/a> was one of the latest additions to the cast, and while Nolan didn’t confirm her role, it was speculated to play Circe, an enchantress who resides on the island of Aeaea, where she is surrounded by men she has turned into lions and wolves, or at least Calypso. However, the new pictures confirm she is playing Melantho, one of the maids in the palace.<\/p>\n

The star-studded ensemble<\/a> in the upcoming blockbuster also features Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Samantha Morton, Corey Hawkins, Cosmo Jarvis, and Ryan Hurst. Bill Irwin, Jesse Garcia, Will Yun Lee, Rafi Gavron, Shiloh Fernandez, Nick E. Tarabay, Jimmy Gonzales, Maurice Compte, Michael Vlamis, Iddo Goldberg, and Josh Stewart.<\/p>\n

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Will Make History<\/p>\n

The director, as well as Damon, spoke to the outlet about the upcoming film, which will premiere next summer, and also teased that it features “things that haven’t been done before.” Nolan’s upcoming directorial effort will make history as the first film shot entirely using IMAX cameras<\/a>, and he teased that they “shot over two million feet of film.”<\/p>\n

Damon also hyped it as “exactly what you want of a summer movie,” and called it “the best experience of my career.”<\/p>\n

However, he teased that the film is all about Odysseus’ journey back home. “I think it\u2019s the Emily Wilson translation that begins, ‘Tell me about a complicated man. The genius of the character, the cleverness, the inventiveness of him, that was a huge part of what interested me. He\u2019s not just a soldier. He\u2019s an amazing strategist, a very wily person.”<\/p>\n

The Odyssey premieres in theaters on July 17, 2026.<\/p>\n
