What Is The Odyssey New Trailer All About?

The trailer shows Matt Damon's Odysseus battling 'thunder, fire, and death' as he journeys back to his 'wife, son, and home.' Back in his Kingdom at Ithaca, Robert Pattinson's spiteful antagonist Antinous is attempting to woo Odysseus' wife Penelope, played by Anne Hathaway. In one of the scenes, Antinous takes a jibe at Odysseus' son Telemachus (Tom Holland), saying, "You're pining for a daddy you didn't even know." Penelope, in the very next shot, proclaims, "Ithaca's King is coming back." A peak moment in the trailer!We then see Odysseus on his treacherous journey as he vows to 'defy the Gods' in order to return home. The trailer also glimpses the much-talked-about Trojan Horse sequence and if these few seconds are anything to go by, watching it unfold on the big screen is going to be spectacular.Watch The Odyssey New Trailer Here -

Since the film is already breaking pre-sale ticket records for IMAX, Universal likely feels it doesn't need an influencer push to build hype.Shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology, The Odyssey releases in theatres on July 17. Nolan's last release was Cillian Murphy starrer Oppenheimer, which went on to become the highest-grossing biopic at the time of release.
