In the clip, Scott narrates scenes depicting the Trojan War, saying, “A war, a man, a trick — a trick to break the walls of Troy. It burning, screaming to the ground.” The teaser also includes appearances by Matt Damon and Tom Holland, with Holland sharing a scene alongside Scott.
Although the clip has not yet been officially released online by Universal, it has already drawn attention due to its brief but revealing glimpse of the film’s tone and cast.
The Odyssey is directed by Christopher Nolan and is scheduled for release in cinemas on July 17. The film is based on Homer’s epic poem, written around the 8th or 7th century BC, which chronicles “the ten-year journey of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, back to his home after the fall of Troy.”
Further details about the cast and production are expected to be announced closer to the release date.
