Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has added Mia Goth today and now according to Deadline, Corey Hawkins is also joining the cast of the mega movie. As for details about who he’s playing, that’s under wraps for now. He joins a cast with Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Benny Safdie, Charlize Theron, Himesh Patel, Elliot Page, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, Jesse Garcia, Mia Goth, and Will Yun Lee.

Nolan is writing and directing the film which goes into production soon and releases in theaters on July 17th, 2026.

The Odyssey is a fundamental piece of human literature that forms the backbone of all storytelling. It follows the Greek hero Odysseus on his world-trekking journey home after the Trojan War. The story was written by the Ancient Greek Homer over 2000 years ago and is one of the oldest stories ever written. Here’s what Universal had to say about the film.

“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.”

Nolan will produce the film alongside his partner Emma Thomas. The film will shoot on location in Sicily, which is where Odysseus actually goes in the story. The production begins this Spring on the Island of Favignana.
