The marketing push for Christopher Nolan's first historical epic, The Odyssey, appears to have started. The first poster has already been released, albeit only in the physical world, even though the movie isn't out for over a year. The poster started showing up in AMC theaters around the US over the previous few days, and shortly after, a high-resolution version was leaked online, giving the internet the first legitimate glimpse of The Odyssey.

The first poster for the Odyssey

The Odyssey's initial poster features the film's title in large letters in the middle, immediately below the director's name, along with the crucial tagline: 'Shot entirely with IMAX film cameras'. The laborious and expensive process of filming Odyssey with only IMAX cameras makes it the first movie ever to employ them. The poster then captures the movie's central message: Defy the Gods. July 17, 2026, the release date, is mentioned directly above.

The text is written in light blue and red on a dark black background. The only visual in the entire poster is a decapitated ancient Greek god statue at the bottom, and some smoke and sparks rising from there. This pretty much adds to the 'defying Gods' theme that the poster mentions.

About The Odyssey

Based on Homer's epic Odyssey, the Christopher Nolan film will chronicle the journey of Odysseus, the mythical king of Ithaca, and his perilous return home after the Trojan War. In his journey, Odysseus encountered the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens, and the witch goddess Circe before his reunion with his wife, Penelope.

The film stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, along with Tom Holland as his son Telemachus. The rest of the star-studded cast includes Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, and Elliot Page.
