Jon Bernthal is set to join the star-studded cast of Christopher Nolan 's upcoming epic, * The Odyssey *. Deadline reports that details regarding Bernthal's role remain tightly under wraps. Nolan's latest project, following the success of his biopic *Oppenheimer*, is an adaptation of Homer 's timeless epic poem. The story chronicles the perilous ten-year journey of Odysseus, a Greek hero, as he sails back home to Ithaca after the Trojan War.
Along his arduous voyage, Odysseus and his crew encounter mythical creatures, face treacherous trials, and encounter gods and goddesses, delaying his reunion with his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus. Bernthal will be joining an already impressive ensemble cast that includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, and Charlize Theron. Production on *The Odyssey* is scheduled to commence next month and the film is slated for a wide theatrical release on IMAX screens worldwide on July 17, 2026.While eagerly awaiting his journey to ancient Greece, Bernthal has a number of projects keeping him busy in the near future. He will reprise his iconic role as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, in the Disney+ revival series *Daredevil: Born Again*, premiering in March. He will also star alongside Tessa Thompson in the Netflix thriller miniseries *His & Hers*. Bernthal is set to appear in two films releasing this year: *The Accountant 2*, where he returns as Brax Wolff, Ben Affleck's autistic money-launderer's brother, and *The Amateur*, alongside Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne. There's also a possibility of him returning to the FX series *The Bear* as Mikey Berzatto, although his character's death serves as the catalyst for the series, he has appeared in flashbacks throughout.*The Odyssey*, a cornerstone of Western literature, has inspired numerous film adaptations throughout history, dating back to the silent era. The story has also been reimagined and transported to diverse settings beyond Ancient Greece. *Cold Mountain*, set during the American Civil War, and *O Brother, Where Art Thou?*, a black comedy set during the Great Depression, are notable examples of this trend. Last year, *The Return* focused on the final leg of Odysseus' journey, depicting his return to Ithaca, with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche reuniting after *The English Patient*. Stay tuned to Collider for further updates on *The Odyssey*, set to hit theaters on July 17, 2026.
