What was The Odyssey (2026) filmed under as its working title?

The Odyssey (2026) was filmed under the working title Charlie’s Tale. The production used that title during its 91-day principal photography schedule, which ran from February 25 to August 5, 2025.

Working titles are commonly used to keep productions discreet, simplify paperwork, or reduce public attention during location filming. In this case, the temporary name helped protect details of a film whose premise and casting were kept unusually secret before the official announcement.

Universal announced the project as The Odyssey in December 2024, identifying it as Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s ancient Greek epic. The working title therefore belongs to the production period rather than representing an alternate final title or a separate film.
