Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opens July 17, 2026 with 428,000 dislikes on YouTube and a press tour that is beginning to mirror Supergirl’s catastrophic promotional campaign. Lupita Nyong’o told interviewers that Homer’s Odyssey is “told from a very masculine side of things” and that Nolan’s film will “really consider things from the female perspective” — a claim that rewrites Penelope, one of Western literature’s most intelligent and formidable female characters, out of existence. When pressed on casting backlash, Nyong’o said “you can’t perform beauty” — collapsing a serious literary argument about fidelity to Homer’s source material into a personal attack she could then deflect. With Supergirl losing $80-120 million after the same pattern of press tour alienation, The Odyssey’s next eleven days of promotional interviews will determine whether Nolan’s record-breaking IMAX presales survive contact with its own cast.
