Thomas Thorogood unpacks the meaning of ‘The Odyssey’ (2026 movie), written and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya and Charlize Theron. It's an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey from around the 8th century BC. How does the movie handle the fantastical elements of the story? And does its outlook on war owe more to Christianity than Ancient Greece?
