Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey final countdown trailer has accumulated 233,000 dislikes against 50,000 likes on YouTube as of July 3, 2026 — a nearly 5-to-1 ratio — while Universal Pictures has announced it is skipping influencer screenings entirely ahead of the July 17 release. The comment section has gone viral with thousands of upvoted reactions to the casting of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy, Zendaya as Athena, and Elliot Page as Sinon the trickster — while the Greek government has publicly criticized the production for accepting Greek subsidies while casting no major Greek actors. IMAX pre-sales are simultaneously breaking records. Two separate audiences are making two separate statements about The Odyssey — and July 17 will determine which one was right.
