Empire Debuts New 'Odyssey' Images, Confirms Casting and Trailer Plan

The first full trailer is slated to run before Avatar: Fire and Ash next month.

Overview

  • Empire’s latest stills confirm Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Zendaya as Athena, John Leguizamo as Eumaeus, and identify Jon Bernthal as King Menelaus.
  • New images showcase large‑scale Troy destruction, and Empire says the trailer will feature a Battle of Troy sequence with reporting pointing to a brief Cyclops tease.
  • Universal’s release date holds for July 17, 2026.
  • Nolan’s film was shot entirely on newly engineered IMAX 70mm cameras with quieter blimps that enable close‑range sound capture, a first for a blockbuster using full IMAX film cameras.
  • Reporting highlights a 91‑day shoot across Greece, Italy, Morocco, Iceland and studio stages, over two million feet of film used, and an estimated budget around $250 million.
