Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' Sets Digital and Blu-ray Release Date

Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson might be the most recognizable top-billed actors of the year, but one name has quietly appeared in an array of 2026's most impressive projects. From featuring alongside Tessa Thompson in the surprise Netflix hit His & Hers, to a surprise prequel episode of Christopher Storer’s The Bear ahead of its final season, Jon Bernthal has been one of the year's busiest actors.

One of his biggest roles of 2026 came in Marvel’s Special Presentation, The Punisher: One Last Kill, and his subsequent appearance in the all-conquering MCU blockbuster Spider-Man: Brand New Day. As Bernthal's Frank Castle joined forces with Spidey, the world couldn't stop watching, with the so-called "best Spidey adventure in 20 years" becoming the highest-grossing film of all time domestically. At the same time as Brand New Day swung into theaters, Bernthal, Holland, and Zendaya set sail on another project, one that seems destined to dominate at next year's Academy Awards.

Of course, we're talking about Christopher Nolan's ambitious historical epic The Odyssey, which used more than two million feet of film during the production process; such was Nolan's intent to avoid green screens and CG environments. Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, and Matt Damon also featured in the movie, with the latter making his bid for a Best Actor nomination at the Academy Awards. The Odyssey is expected to break Sinners' nominations record set earlier this year and will help boost its campaign by finally being available to watch from home this month. The Odyssey will be available to rent and purchase digitally and will arrive on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, beginning November 17, 2026.

How Much Did 'The Odyssey' Make at the Box Office?

Nolan's most ambitious project yet certainly paid off. The film has made more than $1.8 billion at the global box office, split between $625 million in domestic revenue and a further $1.176 billion from overseas markets. This was against a huge budget of $250 million, which reportedly ties for the biggest budget for a Nolan film. The Odyssey's theatrical haul broke the record for the highest-grossing movie in Nolan's filmography, surpassing both The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.
