**Los Angeles, CA** – Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan is set to embark on his next cinematic journey, adapting Homer’s epic poem *The Odyssey*. Universal Pictures announced Monday that the mythic action epic will hit theaters July 17, 2026.
The film, described as a “mythic action epic shot across the world,” will be a groundbreaking undertaking, marking the first time an adaptation of *The Odyssey* will be presented on IMAX film. Nolan, a long-time champion of IMAX technology, will utilize “brand new IMAX technology” for the production. While specifics remain under wraps, Nolan recently confirmed intensive testing with IMAX is underway to develop this new technology for celluloid film.
This will be Nolan’s second collaboration with Universal following the phenomenal success of *Oppenheimer*, which grossed nearly $1 billion and earned Nolan several Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture. While casting rumors have abounded since *Oppenheimer*’s release, Universal has yet to confirm any actors attached to the project.
The announcement ends months of speculation surrounding Nolan’s next project, assuring fans of another visually stunning and technically ambitious cinematic experience.
