Why The Odyssey Is Played Right Before James Gunn's Superman
Things did not go as planned due to censorship issues, and the makers decided to release The Odyssey's trailer with Superman. Christopher Nolan is coming back with another one of his big films next year. Titled The Odyssey, the action fantasy epic is an adaptation of the ancient Greek poem by the same name, attributed to Homer. Over a year ahead of its release on the big screens, a brand-new trailer of the upcoming film has officially premiered in the theatres. The trailer for The Odyssey is played right before the start of James Gunn's Superman, which entered the cinemas on July 11, giving fans a glimpse into what to expect from Nolan's next epic. The team was originally supposed to debut the trailer with Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey's dinosaur film Jurassic World Rebirth. However, that did not go as planned due to censorship issues, and they decided to release the trailer with Superman. Denzil Dias, VP and Managing Director- India Theatrical at Warner Bros. Discover, shared a post on X, informing about the change. He wrote, 'The #TheOdyssey trailer is attached to all prints of #SupermanMovie. We aimed for #JurassicWorldRebirth, but censorship was an issue. A week late, but definitely better late than never! If you don't see it playing before #SupermanMovie at your favourite cinema, let us know!" The #TheOdyssey trailer is attached to all prints of #SupermanMovie. We aimed for #JurassicWorldRebirth, but censorship was an issue. A week late, but definitely better late than never! If you don't see it playing before #SupermanMovie at your favorite cinema, let us know! With The Odyssey scheduled to release on July 17, 2026, fans have been excited to see what the Oscar-winning actor would bring to the table this time. The film will follow the long and perilous journey of King Odysseus as he tries to return home following the Trojan War, as he attempts to reunite with his wife, Penelope. Matt Damon is set to portray the Greek king of Ithaca, Odysseus, in the film. Just weeks back, the preview of The Odyssey was leaked online, and audiences got a glimpse into Tom Holland's character Telemachus, the son of Odysseus. The teaser also gave a hint into Jon Bernthal's character, but the name was not revealed. In the trailer, Telemachus asks a mysterious character (Bernthal), 'Who has a story about Odysseus?" The latter replies, 'You? You have a story? Some say he's rich. Some say he's poor. Some said he perished. Some said he's imprisoned." Furthermore, a dramatic voiceover then said, 'Darkness. Zeus' law was smashed to pieces. I'm without a king since my master died. He knew it was an unwinnable war. And then, somehow, he won it." Besides Matt, Tom and Jon, The Odyssey will also feature Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and Mia Goth in other pivotal roles.
