The Odyssey trailer unveils a deeper look into the Matt Damon-led story

The initial trailer introduces Matt Damon as the heroic Odysseus, leading his battle-worn soldiers home to Ithaca. Though he presses forward, greater challenges lie ahead. We also see Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Odysseus’ wife, anxiously awaiting his return while facing pressure from numerous suitors. A flashback reveals a poignant moment before the war, where Penelope pleads with Odysseus to promise he’ll return, and he responds with a heartbreaking “What if I can’t?”
