Jon Bernthal, best known for his roles in Marvel’s Punisher and The Bear, has signed up to be part of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming project. The highly-acclaimed actor has joined the ensemble cast of Nolan’s next film, an epic action adaptation based on Homer’s ancient poem, “Odyssey.” Joining Bernthal in this star-studded lineup are actors like Matt Damon (Oppenheimer), Tom Holland (Spider-Man films), Zendaya (Dune), Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises), Robert Pattinson (Tenet), Lupita Nyong’o (Black Panther), and Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road).
Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie, titled “The Odyssey,” is an epic action film with a mythical theme that will be filmed around the world using groundbreaking IMAX camera technology. This was announced by Universal Pictures in December. The film, set to release on July 17, 2026, marks the first time Homer’s legendary tale has been brought to life on IMAX screens.
According to reports, Nolan’s next film, a sequel to his Academy Award-winning “Oppenheimer,” is set to start filming in February.
Homer’s The Odyssey follows the journey of Odysseus as he navigates the Mediterranean Sea, aiming to reach his homeland, Ithaca, following the ten-year Trojan War. However, Odysseus incurs Poseidon’s wrath, leading to an unrelenting pursuit. The legendary tale includes characters like Telemachus, son of Odysseus/Ulysses and Penelope; the goddess Athena; the one-eyed giant Polyphemus, the Cyclops who was blinded by Odysseus; the bewitching sorceress Circe; the seductive nymph Calypso; and vengeful sea deity Poseidon.
After becoming well-known for his role as Shane on The Walking Dead, which was followed by playing Frank Castle (the vigilante) on Marvel’s Daredevil and the Marvel-Netflix spinoff series The Punisher, Jon Bernthal has appeared in movies directed by Martin Scorsese (The Wolf of Wall Street), Denis Villeneuve (Sicario), Taylor Sheridan (Wind River), James Mangold (Ford v Ferrari), and Ava DuVernay (Origin). Next up, he’ll reprise his role as Brax Wolff alongside Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2, and he will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the Marvel TV series Daredevil: Born Again, playing the Punisher again.
Deadline first reported the news of Bernthal’s casting.
