Filming for The Odyssey (2026) began in which month and year?

Filming for The Odyssey (2026) began in February 2025. Principal photography started on February 25 at Aït Benhaddou near Ouarzazate, Morocco, where the production portrayed the ancient city of Troy.

The shoot then moved through several international locations, including Greece, Italy, Iceland, Scotland, and studio facilities. Christopher Nolan designed the production around real locations, practical environments, and large-format photography to give Homer's mythic journey a physical sense of scale.

The film used specially developed IMAX cameras that were lighter and quieter than earlier models. It became the first feature film shot entirely on IMAX film, a technical milestone that matched Nolan's preference for practical, large-screen filmmaking.

A common mix-up is confusing the start of filming with the film's announcement or casting news. Nolan's project was announced in late 2024, while principal photography began in late February 2025 and continued into August.
