Tom Holland Joins Nolan's 'The Odyssey' with Star-Studded Cast

Los Angeles, Sep 3 (PTI) Hollywood star Tom Holland is stepping into new territory with Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film "The Odyssey." Holland, known for his role as Spider-Man, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, "The script is the best script I’ve ever read."

Holland is in esteemed company, joining a formidable cast that includes Matt Damon, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Anne Hathaway, and Charlize Theron. Film enthusiasts can mark their calendars, as "The Odyssey" is set to debut on the big screen on July 17, 2026.

Reflecting on his experience working with the visionary director Christopher Nolan, Holland shared, "He knows what he wants… but it is not an environment where you can’t pitch ideas or build characters in certain ways."

In this ambitious cinematic adaptation of Homer’s epic poem "Odyssey," Holland takes on the role of Telemachus, the son of Odysseus. Homer's "Odyssey" captures the tumultuous journey of Odysseus as he struggles to return home from the Trojan War, facing mythical obstacles and divine challenges along the way.

Nolan's project adds to a history of adaptations of the epic, including the 1954 film "Ulysses," directed by Mario Camerini and featuring Kirk Douglas. Additionally, the Coen Brothers took inspiration from "Odyssey" for their 2000 film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Alongside "The Odyssey," Tom Holland is also set to appear in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," which will swing into theaters on July 31, 2026.
