Oppenheimer was one of the biggest movies of 2023 and collected numerous Oscars and other awards earlier this year, but now Christopher Nolan’s next movie is the new hot topic when it comes to the filmmaker. Although the last few months have brought the news of actors like Matt Damon, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson coming aboard, no actual plot details had been revealed; even Tom Holland was clueless about the premise. But that changes today, as we finally know what Nolan’s Oppenheimer follow-up will be, and I’m excited that this will be a cinematic tale worthy of the epic cast that’s been assembled.
Universal Pictures announced today that Nolan is adapting Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey for the big screen, providing the following statement about what’s coming in roughly a year and a half:
Christopher Nolan’s next film ‘The Odyssey’ is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.
More to come…
