A five-minute-long clip from Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of Homer's epic poem The Odyssey has been leaked online. The video was reportedly supposed to play before the screening of James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash, as it hits theatres next week. It has already been circulating online through fan handles ahead of The Odyssey's release next year.

The leaked sequence shows a group of men dragging the iconic Trojan Horse to Troy city. As they do this, Trojan guards can be seen stabbing their swords into the horse, even as the soldiers in it escape the weapons by a whisker. Legend has it that the soldiers come out of the horse at night to attack Troy and its army.

The film stars Matt Damon as the Greek king of Ithaca, namely Odysseus, and chronicles his long and arduous journey home after the Trojan war. The cast also includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal, Robert Pattinson, and Mia Goth, among others.

Production on the film has been wrapped, and it is slated for a July 17, 2026, release in theatres, including IMAX screens. Nolan has shot the whole film using IMAX cameras, thus becoming the first filmmaker to do so.
