As 2025 rolled into 2026, the entire world got a glimpse at Christopher Nolan’s next epic, The Odyssey. The story is set in roughly 1184 BC, after the hero, Odysseus (Matt Damon), fought in the Trojan Wars. Several Redditors said they thought the trailer was “boring,” which was echoed all over X, as well. Conversely, The Odyssey has witches, and sirens, and sea monsters, and regular monsters, and dudes getting turned into pigs. Variety/Variety/Getty ImagesAt some point, a newer trailer for the 2026 Odyssey will depict more of the famous and fantastical action.
