The Odyssey Prologue Leaked: Matt Damon's Heroic Rise
A short clip from a new movie called The Odyssey was accidentally shared online.
In the clip, a big wooden horse is pulled into the city of Troy.
Soldiers, including Matt Damon's character, are hiding inside the horse.
When the Trojan guards try to attack the horse, the soldiers jump out and fight back.
The scene is told by two characters, Menelaus and Telemachus, who say, 'Well, you know the rest.'
The clip was taken down quickly, but many people saw it before that happened.
The movie is directed by Christopher Nolan and will be released in 2026.
It is one of his most ambitious projects, shot entirely on IMAX 70 mm film.
A prologue scene from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey was leaked online, featuring Matt Damon's character emerging heroically from the Trojan Horse.
The scene shows Greek warriors, including Odysseus, hiding inside the Trojan Horse as it is hauled into the city of Troy.
Trojan guards attempt to attack the horse, leading to a battle as the Greek soldiers emerge and fight back.
The prologue is narrated by Menelaus to Telemachus, ending with 'Well, you know the rest.'
The film is set to release on 17 July 2026 and is shot entirely on IMAX 70 mm film, marking a technical first for a mainstream blockbuster.
