The Odyssey was announced as Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer follow-up, and second movie set up at Universal Pictures, last December
Next summer, three years after the release of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan will make his cinematic return by delivering The Odyssey to the 2026 movies schedule.
This will mark his third collaboration with Matt Damon, having previously worked with him on the J. Robert Oppenheimer biopic and Interstellar. Damon is playing Odysseus in this epic action fantasy movie, and his latest comments about the filming experience has me even more pumped for the next Nolan feature.

Matt Damon is certainly no stranger to blockbuster productions, from Saving Private Ryan and the Ocean’s movies, to The Martian and his outings as Jason Bourne. So it says a lot that he was impressed by what’s been done for The Odyssey, describing it to Empire as “exactly what you want from a summer movie.” The actor explained that this film adaptation of Homer’s epic succeeds in being “the most massively entertaining film” and feeing “mythic,” then continued:
I can say, without hyperbole, that it was the best experience of my career. I saw the horse on the beach and I was just like, ‘Fuck.’ It was just so cool… We were shooting that [Trojan horse] stuff next week, so I go, ‘How are you going to do it?’ And [Nolan] goes, ‘I don’t know. We’ll just get in there and figure it out.’
The Odyssey was announced as Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer follow-up, and second movie set up at Universal Pictures, last December.
However, it was known months beforehand that Matt Damon would be re-teaming with Nolan again, with his castmates on the then-mystery project including Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.

The Odyssey wrapped filming in August, and three months later, Damon is still impressed by what he experienced and saw during principal photography, particularly with the Trojan Horse horse that was constructed.
