BetUS Offers Exclusive Betting Odds for ‘The Odyssey’ Awards Nominations

The Odyssey 2026 is a film set to be released in July starring a bevy of Hollywood luminaries, including Matt Damon, Zendaya, and Anne Hathaway, that tells the story of Homer’s epic classic tale featuring Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca, and his perilous journey home following the Trojan War. BetUS is one of the only online sportsbooks to offer wagering on its future at the Academy Awards.

A star-studded cast in the Odyssey movie is what has entertainment news buzzing with excitement, as Matt Damon plays the legendary King Odysseus, while Anne Hathaway plays the role of his long-suffering wife, Penelope, pining for her husband’s arrival after the Trojan War.

Entertainment rumors were rife with speculation about which stars would be playing what characters. However, we have since discovered that cultural icon and the supremely talented Zendaya plays the goddess Athena, while Academy Award winner Charlize Theron plays Circe, the Goddess of Sorcery. There is a litany of stars too numerous to mention in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of one of the world’s oldest poems.
