Where were The Odyssey (2026)'s scenes of Hades filmed?

The story behind the answer

The Hades scenes in The Odyssey (2026) were filmed in Iceland.

The production spent ten days in remote Icelandic locations, including black-sand beaches, to portray the Greek underworld of Hades. The stark volcanic landscapes offered a naturally severe environment for a realm associated with death and the dead.

Iceland was one part of a much wider location strategy. Scotland supplied other coastal and forest settings, Malta was used for Calypso's Cave, and Morocco represented Troy in the opening. These locations were not intended to reproduce one literal geography; they were selected for the visual qualities that could express different mythological places.
