WATCH: Full trailer sneaks in for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey

May 5th, 2026 by Marc Comments

We have the full trailer for Christopher Nolan’s biggest movie to date, The Odyssey, based on Homer’s epic.

Talking about the movie, writer/director Nolan describes the movie as the original superhero story: “They are the original superheroes. Even comic book culture, whether you’re talking about Marvel or DC or all the rest, a lot of it comes directly from the Homeric Epics.

“The thing about Homer is, nobody knows if that was a person. Homer in a way is the George Lucas, maybe, of his time… Homer is the Marvel of its day, that’s the thing. It’s very directly this desire for us to feel or believe Gods could walk amongst us, and I think the modern comic book is kind of our expression of that.”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
