New set photos reveal Matt Damon’s transformation as Odysseus and Zendaya as Athena as filming progresses in Italy for the $250 million epic.

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's 'The Odyssey' is currently filming in Favignana, Italy, with a star-studded cast led by Matt Damon and Zendaya.
Recent set photos show Matt Damon’s striking physical transformation into Odysseus, including a rugged look and a chiseled physique, alongside Zendaya as Athena in Grecian attire.
The film, set to release on July 17, 2026, is being shot across global locations, including Italy, Morocco, and the UK, to authentically capture the epic’s scale.
Nolan is employing groundbreaking IMAX film technology to bring the mythic tale to life, marking the first time Homer’s saga will be presented in this format.
The project, with a $250 million budget, represents Nolan’s most ambitious venture since 'Oppenheimer,' combining mythology, action, and cutting-edge cinematic techniques.
