About the teaser
The teaser contains multiple shots of the Mediterranean Sea and the Trojan Horse. It also places the viewer right in the middle of an exchange between Telemachus, Odysseus’s son, played by Tom Holland, and Jon Bernthal’s King Menelaus. Telemachus inquires about his missing father, Odysseus (Matt Damon), and right when he wonders if he has been held captive, Menelaus adds, “What prison could hold a man like that?”
Fan reactions
The teaser popped up on X and Reddit, where several fans shared their reactions. One commented, “Didn’t even get a lot of the OST, but it already bangs. It’s crazy if Ludwig Göransson wins for Sinners AND this. Overall, I love the ominous tone. I never thought a bootleg teaser for a movie a year away could get me so pumped.” Another fan commented, “From what we’ve seen, it looks great. This is going to be epic. July 2026 can’t come any sooner.”
A fan said, “The slice of Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY is extremely promising, honing in on a mythical aura of a cinematic Greek tragedy surrounded by an ominous choral soundscape and lush world building, Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal feel right in their element! I’m ready for the Gods!”
Many fans also praised Tom Holland’s presence in the teaser. A comment read, “This movie will give Tom his first Oscar nomination, won’t it?” “I saw The Odyssey teaser, holy s**t it bangs. Tom Holland bout to make some people real silent, amazing acting in the short footage we see,” wrote a fan. A second fan commented, “Just saw The Odyssey teaser trailer… I’m so gassed. Tom Holland, I always believed in you. I can’t wait to watch this film.”
The all-star Universal Pictures production is an adaptation of Homer’s Greek epic poem. It features an ensemble cast which includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, and Benny Safdie. The Odyssey is scheduled for release on July 17, 2026.
