Moreover, the phrase “Shot entirely with IMAX film cameras” has been added directly below the title, and the theme of the film, “Defy the Gods,” is written in red above the release date. The entire poster is set against a dark blue background, which resembles a night sky.


Everything we know about The Odyssey so far

The Odyssey will be based on Homer's epic saga. It will revolve around the mythological story of Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, who returns home after the Trojan War.

On his way to reunite with his wife, Penelope, the king faces some significant hurdles, such as facing the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch goddess Circe. 

Christopher Nolan has returned to the director's chair following the release of his Oscar-winning film, Oppenheimer, in 2023. 

For the cast members of the upcoming magnum opus, Matt Damon will don the lead role of King Odysseus. Additional star-studded lineup includes Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, and Elliot Page.
