The first proper trailer for The Odyssey, his hotly anticipated follow-up to Oppenheimer, has arrived online, and it looks every bit as colossal, chaotic and cinema-shaking as we\u2019d hoped.<\/p>\n<p>This is our first real look at Nolan\u2019s take on Homer\u2019s epic poem, following Matt Damon\u2019s Odysseus on his decade-long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the trailer isn\u2019t the full five-minute IMAX-only preview that\u2019s been playing ahead of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shortlist.com\/entertainment\/sigourney-weaver-on-alien-avatar-fire-and-ash-and-passing-on-the-action-hero-mantle\" target=\"_blank\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.shortlist.com\/entertainment\/sigourney-weaver-on-alien-avatar-fire-and-ash-and-passing-on-the-action-hero-mantle\">Avatar: Fire And Ash<\/a>, it\u2019s more than enough to confirm that Nolan is swinging for the fences, and possibly inventing a few new ones while he\u2019s at it.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-seasonal\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"33dc49a4-6e7a-4896-b433-da4084892570-2\">The teaser is heavy on mood and scale. We see Odysseus battered by storms, trudging across vast landscapes and sailing towards inevitable disaster, while brief glimpses introduce Anne Hathaway as his long-suffering wife Penelope and Tom Holland as his son Telemachus.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it shot of Benny Safdie in full armour as Agamemnon, but otherwise Nolan is keeping his frankly ridiculous supporting cast, which also includes Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong\u2019o, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal largely under wraps for now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video youtube-facade\" data-nosnippet=\"\" id=\"Mzw2ttJD2qQ\">\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\">\n<div class=\"watch-on-iframe-Mzw2ttJD2qQ\" data-yt-video-token=\"Mzw2ttJD2qQ\" title=\"The Odyssey | Official Trailer - YouTube\">\n<span class=\"youtube-video-title\">The Odyssey | Official Trailer &#8211;

The Trojan Horse looms large, dragged ominously from the sea. Soldiers hide inside, bloodied and silent. And then there\u2019s a huge moment: a hulking, nightmarish Cyclops emerging in the shadows of a cave, looking genuinely terrifying in a way that suggests Nolan isn\u2019t interested in softening the legend for modern audiences. It\u2019s grim, physical and properly unsettling \u2013 exactly how you\u2019d want it.<\/p>\n<p>Visually, The Odyssey already feels immense. Shot entirely on IMAX film, the movie looks drenched in real locations, real weather and real danger, with that unmistakable Nolan sense of physical heft where every wave, sword and explosion feels like it weighs a ton. This is blockbuster filmmaking on an operatic scale, the kind we don\u2019t get nearly often enough.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f2c55580-14e7-4f09-a6f2-245f1f3cb1bd\">Coming off the back of Oppenheimer, a nearly billion-dollar, seven-Oscar juggernaut, expectations are sky-high, but this trailer suggests Nolan is leaning fully into the challenge. Ancient myth, cutting-edge technology, and a cast stacked to absurd levels? It\u2019s a heady combination.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-EeByq9UTakoE8NQMDNMbye\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-EeByq9UTakoE8NQMDNMbye slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get exclusive shortlists, celebrity interviews and the best deals on the products you care about, straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>At Shortlist, we\u2019re already counting the days.
