Matt Damon recently showcased his impressive physical transformation on the set of the forthcoming Christopher Nolan film, The Odyssey, which is due for release next year. Captured in set photos, Damon’s latest fitness journey results are evident as he appears with a toned physique, donning baggy pants and with debris scattered across his sculpted chest and back. Additionally, his character’s look is completed with a long, grey beard and moppy hair.
The set photos, which highlight Damon’s striking transformation, also feature Zendaya, one of the many A-list stars appearing alongside him, such as Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, and Anne Hathaway.
In a candid remark, Damon’s friend and fellow actor Ben Affleck expressed his desire to visit the set to witness Nolan’s direction firsthand. Affleck shared with GQ that Damon has been investing hours into “stunt rehearsal” for the project. “You really have to go learn the fights. This is Bourne Identity kind of territory,” he noted.
According to E! News, filming is taking place in Favignana, Italy, explaining why Matt Damon is seen wearing a large puffer coat between takes while he brings his character to life by the chilly shore.
Airing in July 2026, The Odyssey promises a captivating spectacle, with Damon embodying Odysseus in what is slated to be another cinematic marvel in Nolan’s repertoire. Fans can see the transformation unfold, supporting the anticipation that surrounds the film’s release.
