The Odyssey, possibly Christopher Nolan’s most epic film to date, will be released in theaters next year.

The Odyssey Release Date

Divided into 24 books, tells the story of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, as he journeys home after the Trojan War.
The journey itself lasts an additional 10 years, as Odysseus has to contend with plenty of perilous hurdles, while his wife Penelope and son Telemachus also have to contend with their own fair share of problems as suitors contend for Penelope’s hand in marriage while Odysseus is presumed dead.

The Trailer is Expected to Drop this Summer
As with past Nolan films, a trailer for The Odyssey is currently anticipated to be released in July, one year before the movie’s actual release date. Given that Universal is the distributor of both films, Jurassic World: Rebirth, which opens on July 2, is the most likely picture to feature a trailer for The Odyssey, or at the very least a teaser trailer.
