The Odyssey: Matt Damon faces monsters in new trailer for Christopher Nolan's Greek epic

Due to be released in cinemas on July 17, the latest look gives audiences a much closer look at the treacherous journey which lies in store for Matt Damon’s Greek hero Odysseus.

Key players are highlighted in the new trailer, such as Tom Holland as Odysseus’s son Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope, Charlize Theon as nymph Calypso, and Robert Pattinson who plays Antinous, Penelope’s would-be suitor who is looking to rule Ithaca.

The Odyssey was shot around the world, including Scotland, with the new footage showing locations including the Culbin Forest and Culbin Sands.

Various historic vessels were seen during filming in Scotland last year, with some of the Greek-style ships spotted off the Moray Coast and at Buckie Harbour. Filming also took place at Findlater Castle.

As is typical for Nolan’s films, the director has recruited even more stars to The Odyssey cast including John Leguizamo as Odysseus’s servant and companion Eumaeus, Jon Bernthal as Greek king of Sparta Menelaus, Zendaya as the goddess Athena, Benny Safdie as Agamemnon, Himesh Patel as Odysseus' second-in-command Eurylochus, Mia Goth as Melantho, and Jimmy Gonzales as Cepheus.

The film makes history as the first narrative feature to be shot entirely with IMAX cameras, with Nolan revealing that he used more than 2 million feet of film while shooting.

The Odyssey will be in cinemas from July 17.
