We’re counting down the days until Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey hits theaters, and Universal Pictures has dropped one last trailer to keep anticipation appropriately high. Most of us read some version of The Odyssey in high school, so we’re familiar with the story: Odysseus, legendary Greek king of Ithaca, begins the long journey home after 10 years of fighting in the Trojan War. But the journey doesn’t go smoothly, as Odysseus and his men encounter the cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and an enchantress named Circe, among other obstacles. Meanwhile, Penelope, his long-suffering wife, wards off hundreds of suitors eager to usurp Odysseus’ position.

Matt Damon stars as the wandering Ithacan king, joined by Anne Hathaway as Penelope; Tom Holland as Telemachus; Robert Pattinson as Antinous; Jon Bernthal as Menelaus; Benny Safdie as Agamemnon; John Leguizamo as Eumaeus; Himesh Patel as Eurylochus; Will Yun Lee and Jimmy Gonzales as crew members; and Mia Goth as Melantho. Zendaya plays Athena, Charlize Theron plays Circe, and Lupita Nyong’o pulls double duty as both Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra.

We got our first look at stills of Damon’s Odysseus in February 2025, an extended teaser last July, and a full-length trailer in December. A second trailer in May gave us our first glimpse of Theron’s Circe and Pattinson’s conniving Antinous. The infamous cyclops briefly appeared, as well as footage of Odysseus and his men battling the cannibalistic Laestrygonians and navigating the treacherous whirlpool Charybdis.

This final trailer incorporates much of the same footage. What’s new: Telemachus expressing his desire to rule in his father’s absence and Penelope quickly quashing such ambitions. “They’re not giving up power to you or Odysseus,” she says. “Do you think life goes back to the way it was? That world is gone. If he returned, he’d have to kill them. Like you will.” Odysseus makes it clear he’s prepared to bring all the vengeance required to reclaim his throne. Zendaya’s Athena appears, telling Odysseus the gods warned him of what would come with the fall of Troy. “Then I defy the gods,” Odysseus declares.

The Odyssey hits theaters on July 17, 2026, shot entirely in IMAX and releasing in IMAX, 75mm, and 35mm formats.
