According to a report in TMZ, the filming for the excited project began a few weeks ago, and the extent of the set shows that Nolan strives for a great adaptation of classic history. The film has already sparked great interest among fans, and many checked the old text in preparation for its publication in July 2026.

As soon as the filming is completed in Morocco, production will move to Sicily, Italy and the island of Favignana. In particular, Favignana is an actual place to which the original Odyssey is referred to, which makes it a particularly suitable choice for the shoot.

Universal had unveiled the film occupied with stars in December, with a variety of well -known faces that previously worked with Nolan. The ensemble includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong'o and Charlize Theron. Universal recently published a first picture of Matt Damon, which portrayed Odysseus, which is dressed with full historical costume and appears intense and katt -movable.

While many fans were fascinated by the striking pictures and expressed their willingness to publish the film, a significant part of the audience has expressed concerns about Nolan Casting decisions. Many argued that Greek actors for leading roles should be considered in this adaptation of Homer's iconic epic and not as Hollywood a listener.

With an extensive budget of 250 million US dollars, Nolan's interpretation of Odyssey is a bold cinematic undertaking. In view of his reputation for large -scale filmmaking, expectations are high and the audience proves how he will bring the old epic to life on the big screen.
