Christopher Nolan to Bring The Odyssey to the Big Screen
No, no vampires involved.
It’s power couple-on-power couple. Tom Holland and Zendaya, meet Christopher Nolan and Robert Pattinsion. Read on for more deets (and theories) about Nolan’s latest film, The Odyssey.
Chris Nolan casts a power couple
November 8, 2024: Two of the biggest forces in all of Hollywood are joining forces, and everyone should be scared. We haven’t seen a triangle this powerful since Zendaya was with two other little white boys. Christopher Nolan has cast Tomdaya in his next film, per Deadline. It will be the couple’s first movie together outside the Marvel universe. What’s going to happen when both Tom Holland and Zendaya, two of the biggest stars in the world separately and even more famous together, are together in a movie that’s certain to get the attention of film bros around the globe? If we had to guess, we’d say lots of box-office success and lots of awards attention. That’s just how these guys roll.
Alongside the power couple, two Nolan faves have also been cast: Anne Hathaway, who was in both The Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar, and Matt Damon, of Interstellar and Oppenheimer. No official plot details yet, but we do know the film’s out July 17, 2026 in IMAX. Massive couple goals. Literally.
Robert Pattinson reunites with Nolan
November 20, 2024: Robert Pattinson is traveling back in time to reunite with Tenet’s Christopher Nolan. According to The Hollywood Reporter, R Pattz has signed on to Nolan’s still-untitled 2026 proj. The goss ‘round the Universal canteen is that Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Robert Pattinson are the Core Four of the film. Zendaya and Lupita Nyong’o are supporting. What’s it about? Super-duper unclear. THR says it’s been rumored to be either a “period vampire thriller” or a “helicopter action thriller.” Or a third, unrelated thing! Whatever it is, it’s thrilling, and it’s coming out July 17, 2026.
Universal announces The Odyssey
December 23, 2024: After much speculation, including some vampire theories, Universal announced via a post on X the official title and story details on Nolan’s next film, The Odyssey, based on Homer’s ancient Greek poem. It’s described as “a mythic action epic shot across the world” as Nolan will utilize “brand new IMAX film technology.” Naturally.
