Ahead of the July 4 release of Jurassic World Rebirth, Universal Studios attached the first teaser of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film The Odyssey exclusively for the theatre going audiences.

As the film had its early screenings in the US, fans who bought the tickets to Jurassic World Rebirth starring Scarlett Johansson got to witness a tease of the epic and magical world of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey

The teaser begins with a voiceover by what sounds like Robert Pattinson’s voice as he says, “Darkness. Zeus’ laws smashed to pieces. A kingdom without a king since my master died. He knew it was an unwinnable war, and then somehow…somehow he won it.”

The footage then shifts to Tom Holland’s Telemachus asking Jon Bernthal’s character about his father Odysseus (Matt Damon). He asks, “I have to find out what happened to my father. When did you last see him?”

Jon’s character replies, “I know nothing of Odysseus, not since Troy. Interested in rumor, huh? Gossip. Who has a story about Odysseus, huh? Some say he’s rich or some say he’s poor. Some say he perished. Some say he’s imprisoned. What say you?”

Telemachus responds, “Imprisoned?”, Bernthal’s character states, “What kind of prison? Good, old man like that”.

The teaser then ends with a shot of Matt Damon’s lead character stranded on a wooden raft in the middle of an ocean. Though we don’t see his face.
