Tom Cruise is throwing his weight behind Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’. After catching an early screening of the highly anticipated Greek epic, the actor took to social media to rave about the experience, calling it “an amazing night in a movie theater” and revealing he’s already eager for another viewing.

In his post, Cruise shared a photo of himself holding a movie ticket outside an IMAX 70mm theater, adding fuel to the growing excitement surrounding Nolan’s ambitious project ahead of its July 17, 2026 release date.

The endorsement comes as ‘The Odyssey’ continues building momentum with critics, boasting a 96 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film also made waves as the first feature shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras, a technical achievement that’s adding to expectations for the theatrical experience.

The star-studded cast includes Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus, alongside Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Jon Bernthal, Elliot Page, Travis Scott, and Charlize Theron. With Cruise’s glowing reaction now in the mix, the film’s pre-release buzz shows no signs of slowing down.
