Overview
- Damon told Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast he worked at 167 pounds during filming, down from his usual 185–200, which he said was his lightest since high school.
- He credited a strict program with a trainer and cutting gluten on his doctor’s advice, and he said he has remained fully gluten-free since production wrapped.
- Damon said The Odyssey was shot entirely on IMAX, with Nolan’s team developing a quieter camera blimp and mirror system to enable intimate close-ups and usable dialogue.
- The production filmed on location in Greece, Iceland and Morocco with open‑sea sequences, and Damon said the crew made all their days and finished ahead of schedule.
- Co-star Mia Goth called working on the film “one of the greatest experiences” of her life, and the star-packed adaptation is slated to open in theaters on July 17, 2026.
