Odyssey Cast Adds Jon Bernthal to Christopher Nolan’s Next Movie
The cast continues to grow, with Deadline reporting that has joined the cast of the highly anticipated next film from Christopher Nolan.
It is currently unknown who Bernthal will be playing as most of the movie is covered in a shroud of mystery. However, we do know the film will be adapting the iconic story of The Odyssey and that it will feature an all-star ensemble cast.
Previously, it was announced that Robert Pattinson, Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Anne Hathaway would all also star in the upcoming project. Early reports suggest that Pattinson, Damon, Holland, and Hathaway will make up “the core leads” of the movie. Lupita Nyong’o and Zendaya, both of whom were recently reported to be in the project, will also have supporting roles to some degree, as will Charlize Theron.
“Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology,” Universal said about the upcoming film. “The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.”
The Odyssey is one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, a Greek poet who is also credited as the author of the Iliad and who is often seen as one of the most influential and important authors in human history.
The Odyssey follows the story of the Greek hero Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he journeys home after the Trojan War. Presumed dead, Odysseus’ wife Penelope and son Telemachus contend with various suitors who compete for Penelope’s hand in Odysseus’ absence.
The Odyssey is thought to have been written sometime in the 8th or 7th century BC and is one of the most important works in literary history.
