“A war. A man. A trick. A trick to break the walls of Troy. And burn it – screaming – to the ground.” Tell the story of Odysseus! Universal revealed a brand new promo TV trailer for Christopher Nolan’s epic take on The Odyssey, the iconic ancient Greek poem by Homer, arriving in theaters July 2026 this summer. This new 60-second spot features just a bit of new footage not seen in the first trailer + prologue from December. Mainly it shows rapper Travis Scott (!!) telling a story in a dining hall on Odysseus’ home island of Ithaca. The story follows Odysseus in his perilous journey home after the Trojan War, featuring encounters with Polyphemus, the Sirens, Circe, eventually resulting in his reunion with his wife, Penelope. The movie stars Matt Damon as Odysseus. With a massive ensemble cast: Tom Holland as Telemachus, Odysseus’s son, plus Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron as Circe, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, Jesse Garcia, Will Yun Lee, Rafi Gavron, Shiloh Fernandez, Mia Goth, Cosmo Jarvis, & many others. I don’t mind that Travis Scott is in here – because all the footage still looks totally awesome.
