Saving Matt Damon Again? ‘Odyssey’ Releases Second Poster & Second Trailer!

With the film set for a domestic release on August 5, 〈Odyssey〉 is raising anticipation by unveiling its second poster and second trailer. First, the poster leaves a powerful impression with the Trojan Horse engulfed in flames and the figure of ‘Odysseus’ (Matt Damon) standing before it. Symbolically capturing the decisive moment of the Trojan War, this poster adds the roar of ‘Odysseus,’ compressing the opening of his decade-long, harrowing journey—one he must endure in order to return to his homeland, where his wife 'Penelope' (Anne Hathaway) is waiting, after the war’s victory.

In particular, Tom Holland—who plays ‘Telemachus’—says in an interview, “〈Odyssey〉 is fantastic. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. After watching the movie, I found myself asking, ‘How did they even make this?’” Raising even more curiosity about the work.

The second trailer, released alongside it, begins with ‘Odysseus,’ continuing his journey to get back home after the Trojan War, and ‘Calypso’ (Charlize Theron), as they converse, immediately pulling viewers in. Next, ‘Antinous’ (Robert Pattinson) appears, mocking Odysseus’ wife ‘Penelope’—who believes in his return—and showing his arrogance toward their son ‘Telemachus,’ hinting at the chaotic state of the kingdom of Ithaca and heightening tension. After that, ‘Odysseus’’ journey unfolds in a grand sweep as he seeks to return to his homeland—not just to take revenge, but to bring everything he carries with him. The trailer amplifies expectations for the immortal epic tale that will unfold on screen. Even amid vast nature and endless voyages, large-scale battles and trials set by the gods, the sight of ‘Odysseus’ saying, “No one can stop my return. Not even the gods,” vividly and grandly portrays human will, fate, and the meaning of ‘return.’

On top of that, it adds remarkable performances from Hollywood’s top-tier actors who send chills just by their names—Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Charlize Theron—along with a powerful OST by Ludwig Göransson, the music director who has won the Academy Music Awards three times. It also features overwhelming visuals, powered by IMAX shooting technologies newly developed exclusively for 〈Odyssey〉. All of it points to the arrival of a brand-new masterpiece from director Christopher Nolan.
