What language is The Odyssey (2026) listed as being in?

The Odyssey (2026) is listed as being in English. Christopher Nolan’s film is an English-language adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic poem, designed for a contemporary international cinema audience rather than performed in Ancient Greek.

The story itself comes from The Odyssey, traditionally attributed to Homer and composed in archaic Greek. That literary origin can make Greek seem like the obvious answer, but the language of the source text is not the same as the language of the modern film. Likewise, Italian and Latin are unrelated distractors rather than alternate production languages.

The cast includes major English-speaking actors such as Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus. Reports about the production and trailer have also described the characters as speaking modern English, including American-accented dialogue, rather than using reconstructed ancient speech.

A useful distinction is that a film can be based on a Greek work while still being an English-language production. The film’s setting, mythology, and characters come from the Greek epic tradition; its recorded dialogue is what determines the listed language.
