The Odyssey has always been a story passed down by oral tradition. Homer may be the author, but it was told by performers to audiences over and over. Now, millennia later, that story is being told by Christopher Nolan to its biggest audience yet. Nolan’s Odyssey will be a large-scale epic that’s already sold out some theaters months before its release, but if you’re not patient enough to wait until July 2026, you can catch a sneak peek in certain movie screenings soon.
According to Variety, a nearly six-minute prologue for The Odyssey will premiere ahead of 70mm IMAX screenings of One Battle After Another and Sinners on December 12. Only 10 theaters are re-releasing those movies, but on December 19, all IMAX showings of Avatar: Fire and Ash will include the prologue as well.
