Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, and Samantha Morton reunited on the red carpet for the premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater, showcasing the ensemble behind one of the year’s most anticipated releases.
A Red Carpet Worthy of Christopher Nolan’s Epic
The five actresses posed together in coordinated yet distinctly individual looks that reflected their own styles while complementing the grandeur of the event. Hathaway opted for a flowing white gown with a silver embellished halter neckline, while Nyong’o wore a strapless gold gown paired with a statement choker necklace. Theron chose a tailored ivory blazer-inspired dress with a dramatic bow at the waist, and Zendaya embraced mythology in a sculptural white feather-inspired gown. Morton completed the lineup in a burgundy patterned dress layered with a coordinating shawl.

The gathering highlighted the depth of Nolan’s ensemble cast ahead of the film’s theatrical release. Hathaway portrays Penelope, the steadfast queen of Ithaca, while Nyong’o takes on the dual roles of Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra. Zendaya appears as Athena, the goddess who guides Odysseus throughout his journey, Theron plays the nymph Calypso, and Morton portrays the enchantress Circe.
Directed by Nolan, “The Odyssey” stars Matt Damon as Odysseus and reimagines Homer’s ancient Greek epic, following the king of Ithaca as he struggles to return home after the Trojan War while facing legendary creatures and divine intervention. The film also features Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, and John Leguizamo as part of its expansive cast.
The New York premiere marked one of the final major promotional stops before “The Odyssey” opens in theaters on July 17. Shot entirely with IMAX 70 mm cameras, the epic fantasy has been positioned as one of Nolan’s most ambitious productions to date.
