Christopher Nolan's 2026 adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey will mark a major career first for the acclaimed director and it will be a risky one.

Like fellow directors Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, and Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan is a filmmaker whose name nearly everyone instantly recognizes, including those who haven't even seen one of his movies.

After months of speculation about Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to his critical and box office hit “Oppenheimer,” which won him the Best Director Oscar, Universal Pictures unveiled before the holidays on X that he will be bringing Homer’s “The Odyssey” to the big screen.

Have you not seen Oppenheimer yet? What are you DOING? It’s another masterpiece from Christopher Nolan, director of the Dark Knight Trilogy, and one of the most famous auteurs working in Hollywood today.
