Overview
- Damon says he dropped to 167 pounds—his high school weight—after going gluten-free, training daily, and targeting a “lean but strong” look for Odysseus.
- He confirms the film was shot entirely on IMAX for the first time on a feature, with the crew developing a sound-dampening ‘blimp’ and mirror system to handle close-up dialogue.
- IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond backs the 100% IMAX claim, noting Nolan pushed the company to solve long-standing technical hurdles with the large-format cameras.
- Production spanned Greece, Iceland, and Morocco and included open-sea work, with Damon saying the team made all their days and finished ahead of schedule during a 91-day shoot.
- The ensemble includes Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, and others, with release set for July 17, 2026.
