Production on Christopher Nolan’s new film The Odyssey began earlier this month in Europe, leading to some more solidified reports about the details of the film. The Odyssey is set to hit theaters in July 2026.

Following the slew of casting announcements made earlier this year, only one character was officially confirmed, and that was Matt Damon as the lead of the film, Odysseus.

Now, according to new reports out of Greece, the cast of Nolan’s The Odyssey is as follows:

Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, Charlize Theron as Circe, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Benny Safdie as Agamemnon, and Lupita Nyong’o as Clytemnestra.

In addition to the above actors, The Odyssey is also set to star 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, Corey Hawkins, Nick E. Tarabay, Jimmy Gonzales, Maurice Compte, Michael Vlamis, Iddo Goldberg, Josh Stewart, Cosmo Jarvis and Ryan Hurst.

The Odyssey is Christopher Nolan’s first film after the release of Oppenheimer in 2023, which took home the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Picture.

Written by ancient Greek poet Homer, Odyssey follows Odysseus, Greek king of Ithaca, on his journey home to reunite with his wife Penelope after the Trojan War, where he encounters mythic foes such as the cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch goddess Circe along the way.

It is considered to be one of the most important pieces of literature in human history and, having been composed in either 8th or 7th century BC, one of the oldest works of literature that remains read today.
