John Leguizamo Joins Christopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY
John Leguizamo is the most recent actor to join Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey. He will star alpongside previously announced cast members Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie and Jon Bernthal.
The film is described as a “mythic action epic shot across the world.” The story will follow Odysseus’ perilous journey home after the Trojan War, introducing audiences to legendary characters from Greek mythology like the cyclops Polyphemus, the sea god Poseidon, and the enchantress Calypso.
The film reportedly has a budget of $250 million, which makes it one of the most expensive projects of Nolan’s career.
Universal shared that the film “is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time.”
The movie is scheduled for release in July 2026 and as a fan of Nolan’s work, I’m excited to see how this turns out!
