Overview
- Universal premiered the full trailer Monday night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, with the film set to open July 17.
- The footage shows Matt Damon’s Odysseus facing the Cyclops, a Trojan Horse assault, and a giant whirlpool, while Robert Pattinson’s Antinous pressures Ithaca’s royal household.
- Anne Hathaway plays Penelope, Tom Holland is Telemachus, and Zendaya appears as Athena, with Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth, Benny Safdie, Elliot Page, and John Leguizamo among the ensemble.
- Nolan shot the movie entirely on IMAX 70mm film, billed as a first for a narrative feature, using new camera tech and on-location work across Morocco, Greece, Italy, Iceland, and Scotland.
- Early online reactions praise the scale but criticize American accents and modern-sounding lines such as “pining for a daddy,” arguing they feel out of place for the setting.
