The Odyssey’ Prologue Leaks Online After Limited IMAX 70mm Preview

A shorter trailer is slated to run before Avatar: Fire and Ash on Dec. 19 under the film’s IMAX‑first rollout.

Overview

  • Nearly six minutes of footage screened Dec. 12 before select IMAX 70mm re-releases, a format available at only a handful of theaters worldwide.
  • Bootleg recordings circulated on social platforms before many were removed, with Universal moving to take down unauthorized posts.
  • Reports describe a Trojan Horse sequence led by Matt Damon’s Odysseus and a brief practical-effect glimpse of the Cyclops, without revealing major plot details.
  • Early audience and critic reactions have been broadly enthusiastic, praising the scale, tension and Ludwig Göransson’s score.
  • Universal says the feature was shot entirely on new IMAX film technology, with wide release scheduled for July 17, 2026.
