Christopher Nolan’s hotly anticipated tentpole, The Odyssey, has released a new trailer. The Universal Pictures release has been steadily building hype ahead of its July 17th premiere, and the new trailer gives audiences a closer look at Odysseus’ long, torturous, and supernaturally complicated trip home to Ithaca.

Multiple key players appear in the trailer, including Matt Damon in the lead role, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Charlize Theron as Calypso, and Robert Pattinson as Penelope’s slimy suitor Antinous, who is seeking to force the queen to remarry so he may become ruler of Ithaca. The trailer also features John Leguizamo as Odysseus’ servant Emaeus and Jon Bernthal as Menelaus, the Greek king of Sparta.

The cast also includes Zendaya as Athena, Benny Safdie as Agamemnon, Himesh Patel as Eurylochus, Mia Goth as Melantho, Jimmy Gonzales as Cepheus, and Lupita Nyong’o and Will Yun Lee in unspecified roles.

We are granted glimpses of many fantastical obstacles encountered in Homer’s Odyssey, including the Cyclops, (what we think are) the Laestrygonians, and Scylla and Charybdis. And given Nolan’s undeniable talent when it comes to epic spectacle, lot more where that came from.
