At Emmys, love for 'Shrinking,' but nothing for Ted Danson and chilly goodbye for 'Handmaid's Tale'
Emmy voters are creatures of habit but there were some happy differences this time around, like 'Matlock' star Kathy Bates becoming the oldest performer ever nominated in the lead drama actress category at age 77. And 'Severance,' which last year only won for dramatic score and title design, looks in better shape for its second season.
Here are other talking points, 'snubs' and surprises from the Emmy nominations:
The growing love for 'Shrinking'
'Shrinking,' AppleTV+ comedy about a group of funny, complicated therapists, didn't get much Emmy attention last year during its debut season, only getting two nominations for stars Jason Segel, a co-creator, and Jessica Williams. This time, 'Shrinking,' well, expanded — with seven nods, including best comedy and nods for Segel, Williams, Michael Urie and Harrison Ford's first Emmy nomination.
Fallout from an act of violence
'Adolescence,' the Netflix four-part series which traces the emotional fallout after a U.K. teenage stabbing, became a sensation, a sort of 2025 version of 'Baby Reindeer,' and has earned a boatload of Emmy nominations, with 13. Owen Cooper, who plays the young attacker, became the youngest nominee in the history of his category — best supporting actor in a limited/anthology series or TV movie. The series was co-created and co-written by Stephen Graham, who also stars as the accused attacker's father, and earned a nomination for his work. 'Adolescence' reached No. 2 in Netflix's Top 10 most popular English-language series.
Late night door is locked
'The Daily Show,' 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' filled up the outstanding talk series category, dashing hopes that newcomers might crash the party. Like John Mulaney's 'Everybody's Live With John Mulaney' on Netflix, which features a quirky mix of guests, the host doing odd things like fighting three 14-year-old-boys and an episode when Mulaney was completely in a blindfold. There's also the spicy wing YouTube interview series 'Hot Ones,' hosted by Sean Evans, which has attracted A-list talent and often pulls in an audience higher than the established network late night boys.
Green light, now red-light
The first season of 'Squid Game' became an international phenomenon after its release in 2021 and was embraced by the Television Academy the next year, racking up 14 Emmy nominations and winning six, including best actor for Lee Jung-jae. Three years later, the second season continued to captivate audiences, logging over 192 million views on Netflix. But not a single Emmy nomination went for its cutthroat look at life.
'The Handmaid's Tale' says goodbye, quietly
After six harrowing, powerful seasons, Hulu's 'The Handmaid's Tale' ended it's exploration of an alternative America taken over by a totalitarian theocracy with a meek showing. The dystopian drama had garnered 76 nominations and 15 wins over its lifetime going into Tuesday's announcement — including a historic outstanding drama series win in its first season, the first ever for a streaming platform. But the series got a sole nomination Tuesday, for guest actress. It's a hard way to say goodbye to a series that was ranked as the 25th and 38th best TV series of the 21st century by The Guardian and BBC, respectively.
TV voters love a good Hollywood satire
'The Studio' received 23 Emmy nominations — the most ever for a comedy series in its first season. Seth Rogen's critically acclaimed Apple TV+ series is about a Hollywood head struggling to balance his love of cinema with the mercenary demands of the market. Rogen got four individual nominations, including lead actor, writing and directing. The show mocks Hollywood's addiction to franchises and the explosive issue of diverse casting, with famous actors and filmmakers happily playing heightened versions of themselves. Five of the six guest actor nods went to the show, including to Bryan Cranston, Dave Franco, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie and Martin Scorsese.
Coldness for 'The Four Seasons'
If Netflix thought combining Tina Fey and Steve Carell — two of the most Emmy-nominated comedic actors of the last 20 years — would lead to Emmy triumph, it thought wrong. Neither actor got a nod and the series only got one, for supporting actor Colman Domingo. The eight-episode relationship comedy is about three couples who are friends and meet up on four seasonal vacations throughout the year. Fey (45 career Emmy noms and nine wins as an actor, writer, and producer) and Carell (10 nominations) i
'Slow Horses' gathers speed
The momentum seems to have continued for Apple TV+'s 'Slow Horses,' a critical darling that gained traction in the U.S. only last year, in the fourth season. That's when the show about lovable loser spies was added for the first time in the best drama series category. (So far, its only win is for writing.) This season, it earned five nods, including best drama, directing, casting, writing and for Gary Oldman, who leads the underdogs.
Ga-ga for Goggins
Walton Goggins is having quite a moment, earning back-to-back Emmy nominations. Last year it was for playing a ghoul on 'Fallout' and this year it is for his 'White Lotus' portrayal of the troubled Rick Hatchett. The Alabama-born, Georgia-raised actor has been around for over three decades, with memorable turns in blockbusters like 'Django Unchained' and 'Lincoln,' playing a spray-tanned, silver-streaked televangelist in 'The Righteous Gemstones' and hosting stint on NBC's 'Saturday Night Live.' 'Thank You God for All This Goggins,' said a headline in Vulture.
Something off-pitch?
'The Voice' heard a sour note, missing a nomination in the reality competition category for the first time since 2012. The 26th season didn't have too many changes, with host Carson Daly returning, as well as judges Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani. The new faces were debut coaches Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg. The season's winner was Sofronio Vasquez, the show's first foreign male winner and second winner of Asian descent. 'The Voice' has been nominated for an Emmy every year since its second season in 2012 with wins in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017. But it will take a year off and watch one of the following shows take the crown: 'The Traitors,' 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' 'The Amazing Race,' 'Survivor' and 'Top Chef.'
Ring her bell
Kristen Bell has been a TV fixture for years — think 'Veronica Mars,' 'The Good Place' or 'Gossip Girl' — but has never gotten an Emmy nod — until now. In the Netflix romantic comedy series 'Nobody Wants This,' Bell plays an agnostic sex and dating podcaster who finds herself romantically drawn to a rabbi played by Adam Brody, who also earned a nod. Their on-screen chemistry and easy bantering has won over TV audiences and now Emmy voters.
Noah Wyle scrubs in for a nod
'The Pitt,' a throwback medical drama that's like a mashup of 'ER' and '24,' has been a ratings hit — among the top three most-watched HBO Max titles ever — and now 13 Emmy nods. 'The Pitt' throws us into the chaos of the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center and takes viewers hour-by-hour through a single shift overseen by Noah Wyle's Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch. Wyle, who also a producer and writer, earned his first Emmy nod in 26 years, back when he was on 'ER.'
No cheers for Ted Danson
Ted Danson, surprisingly, will not be able to extend his record for the most nominations — 14 — in the best comedy actor category this year. He already received Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for his performance as Charles Nieuwendyk on the Netflix comedy 'A Man on the Inside.' Forbes called it 'one of the best shows of 2024' and Danson 'has never been better.' The Guardian said 'A Man on the Inside' was 'as good a vehicle as he has ever had.' It drew 12.4 million viewers, good enough for No. 14 on Nielsen's chart of most watched series that combines over-the-air, on demand or streaming.

Kate Beckinsale ‘paralysed' by grief as she reveals mother Judy Loe died in her arms
Kate Beckinsale has shared the heartbreaking news that her mother, actress Judy Loe, has died at the age of 78. In an emotional Instagram post, the 51-year-old revealed that her mother passed away earlier this week 'after immeasurable suffering,' just 18 months after the death of Kate's stepfather, director Roy Battersby, who died in January 2024. Posting a series of personal photos, Beckinsale admitted she felt 'paralysed' by the loss. While a cause of death has not been confirmed, the Pearl Harbor star has previously spoken about her mother's long battle with cancer. Paying tribute, Kate described her mum as 'brave in so many ways,' praising her kindness and strength. 'Forgiving sometimes too much, believing in the ultimate good in people,' she wrote. 'The world is so dim without her that it is nearly impossible to bear. Mama, I love you so much.' She wrote in a caption: 'I don't want to post this. I am only posting this because I have had to register my mother's death certificate and it will soon become public record. 'She died the night of July 15th in my arms after immeasurable suffering. I have not picked all the best photos, nor the best videos, because I cannot bear to go through my camera roll yet.' 'I deeply apologise to any of her friends who are finding out this way or through the press, but I cannot go through her phone,' she continued. 'I am paralysed. Jude was the compass of my life ,the love of my life, my dearest friend. The vastness and huge heart of this tiny woman has touched so many people who love her dearly.' Beckinsale also reflected on the compounded grief of losing both parents. Her father, actor Richard Beckinsale, died suddenly in 1979 at the age of 31. 'My greatest fear as a child has come true,' she wrote. She also expressed deep gratitude to her mother's closest friends for their support, writing: 'But I want my mum's dearest and oldest friends in her hospital room with her. '(Sylvia) and Chris, please know I'm trying to keep the Four Teens going as best as I can from a distance and I love you both.' She added a moment of levity, jokingly apologising to hospital staff for being 'subject to [her] dreadful singing,' before continuing to praise her mother's unwavering love and lifelong friendships. 'It is a mark of my mother's extraordinary capacity for love and deep respect for relationship history that her friendships with her early school friends are still so very current,' she wrote. 'Love you all, but most especially my mum.'

21 People Who Dated The "Bad Boy" Or "Bad Girl" As Teenagers Are Sharing How (Or If) That Person Changed As An Adult
From Romeo & Juliet to Grease, dating the "bad" boy or girl has been seen as a rite of passage for young people for centuries. However, as these "rebels" mature, they sometimes become very different from the people they were as teenagers... That's why, when I recently decided to ask members of the BuzzFeed Community who dated their high school's "bad boy" or "bad girl," to tell me how that person turned out as an adult, I received many comments that ranged from heartwarming to "What the hell?" Without further ado, here are 21 of their most enlightening responses: Some responses were also taken from Reddit threads, which you can check out here and here! If you dated your high school's "bad" boy or girl, feel free to tell us how (or if) they changed as an adult using this anonymous form! Content warning: abuse, addiction, and death. 1."I was 17 when I became friends with the 19-year-old bad boy, whom I'll call 'Jesse', right after high school. He had been on his own since he was 15 and had a past history of stealing to make ends meet. He would also regularly get into fights, didn't have a license or a phone, lived in a camper in someone's backyard, and went from job to job. His only real prospect was being in a rock band." "Around the time we became friends, I was privately struggling in an emotionally abusive three-year relationship with my boyfriend, whom I'll call 'Kyle.' Kyle was the epitome of a 'good guy' — charming, handsome, rich, and generally well-liked by Jesse. Jesse was the only person who saw through Kyle's 'nice guy' facade, and he made his opinions known. I was defensive and decided that Jesse must have feelings for me and was trying to drive Kyle and me apart, so I ended my friendship with him. But his opinions on Kyle bothered me for weeks because they were completely accurate. This eventually gave me the courage to break up with Kyle." "I found my way back to Jesse about a month later and thought dating a bad boy for the summer might be a fun rebound. I'd hang out with him and his band, drink alcohol for the first time, and let his wild energy rub off on me. That wild summer turned into a wild year and then another. Thirteen years later, we're happily married." "It was work and took a lot of time and patience, and maybe I was naive in the beginning, but he was totally worth the effort. He expressed the desire to do better and to be better, and he proved it to me every day. Jesse is more responsible than I am now, despite growing up troubled. He worked his way up from a warehouse job to being the top earner in his company with no formal education. We bought a house last year and a new vehicle (he eventually got his license). Our goal is to travel as much as possible in our 30s. When I look back on our history, I couldn't be more amazed and proud of who he has become. 'Good guy' Kyle, on the other hand, got kicked out of our old school for smoking indoors, was caught driving without a license, lost his car, and dropped out of university for poor attendance. He is currently unemployed and still living with his mom." —Anonymous, 30, Austin 2."My husband of 27 years was the motorcycle riding, chain on the wallet wearing, anti-establishment punk in high school. I was the Bible-toting, prayer-group leading, honors student. He told me he was going to marry me the first week I met him in the middle of tenth grade." "Now, he still rides a motorcycle, wears a wallet chain, and maintains an anti-establishment vibe, but he also teaches the Bible. He's a good dad to our three kids and supports our dreams and goals." —greentraveler944 3."In high school, I briefly dated a girl known for shenanigans that usually resulted in her being suspended from school. They were all harmless pranks, but I suspect they were a nuisance for teachers or anyone with ears sensitive to creative swearing." "Sometimes she'd come to school late with oil or grease on her hands and clothes. (She worked at a shop for European cars and had an awesome cobbled-together BMW from the '80s.) However, I was a year older than her, and we'd broken up by the time I graduated, so we didn't keep in touch. Fast forward 15 years, I heard from a friend that she had been accused of murder by distributing an intentional overdose. I occasionally Google her name and our hometown to see if anything pops up, but the accusation/arrest didn't come from there, and her name is, unfortunately, quite generic, so I've been stuck wondering for the last decade or so." —37, Washington 4."Started dating a super cool guy who was three years older than me when I was a senior. I had known him prior, but our relationship was never romantic or inappropriate. We got married shortly after I graduated, and I got pregnant. We split up before I gave birth, as he had become addicted to drugs. His family was always very helpful with our daughter." "He eventually became sober, and we not only co-parent beautifully, but we get along great. I adore his wife and his other child. He's even helped me move three times over the years. He's a great guy. We now share a grandson, as well. It's been so long since we were a couple that we almost think of each other like siblings at this point, weird as that sounds." —Anonymous 5."The 'bad boy' I dated is now in a Christian rock band, proselytizing on social media about how God hates immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community. He claims to know what God thinks about the issues, because he and God are 'so tight.' I definitely dodged that bullet." —60, Missouri 6."We casually dated for four months, and it was wild, hot, heavy, and intense, yet sweet and romantic too. He was covered in tattoos from his ankles to his neckline." "When I later decided to move across the country, I told him and left. I still think about him, and we catch up every couple of years. He's building houses now, wanting to leave his hometown, and taking medication for his borderline personality disorder. He seems to be in a good place. I'm happy for him, and I hope he finds someone special." —u/Sundae7878 7."I started dating the 'bad boy' (he was 18 and I was 17) during my senior year of high school when he offered to give me guitar lessons in exchange for me teaching him how to play the piano. Unbeknownst to me at the time, he was on probation for underage drinking and doing community service. (He also did many other questionable things before we met, but was never caught)." "He was really sweet to me at the beginning, but as our relationship continued, his true colors began to emerge. He had a terrible temper, so much so that he once threw a half-empty soda bottle that hit me in the ribs. That was the moment I decided to end our relationship and go 'no contact.' During our relationship, I always told him that if he didn't learn to control his temper and not fly into rages, he would be dead by the time he was 40. Sadly, I heard that he died from a heart attack two weeks before his fortieth birthday. When I was in college, I went in the complete opposite direction and began dating a cop whom I've been happily married to for 26 years, and he and I have a 20-year-old daughter. (I never learned how to play guitar, though.)" —Anonymous, 45 8."I went to high school with the typical rebel teen boy. He cut class, sold weed, was very intelligent, and in all the honors classes, but barely graduated due to poor attendance and grades. After graduation, we didn't talk or see each other because we barely talked at school." "Fourteen years later, we both, under very random circumstances, ended up living across the country in the same small town in Northern California. We actually bumped into each other at a restaurant. Turns out he went on to become a very successful legal cannabis lawyer, representing growers and dispensaries. He also takes pro bono immigration cases for migrant workers in the farming community. (I guess his high school 'education' in that field paid off.) Four years after reconnecting, we are very happily married. You truly never know what life will bring you!" —36, California 9."The 'bad boy' was a terrible (and annoying) person. He was known for stealing, cheating, breaking hearts, and spitting gum at the teachers. In high school, he got a girl pregnant, refused to deal with it, and forced her to get an abortion." "Now, he lives with his parents, owns five cats, and collects McDonald's Grimace memorabilia. He's also currently a teacher at our former school." —Anonymous 10."I married him. We met on a blind date when we were 15, but it didn't work out. We met again when we were 16/17 at a house party. Everyone was drinking, but I wasn't because I was on medication for seizures, so I basically sat in a corner wondering why I was even there." "He walked up to me and offered to get me a drink. I said I didn't drink, so this incredibly tall, long-haired 90s dreamboat leaves and comes back with a blanket. He invited me outside, where we sat while he pointed out constellations. When my big sister picked me up at the end of the night, he said, 'I think you're amazing, can I have your number?' My sister gave me sh*t for not telling her about the grungy rockstar, but I protested. I stayed at her house that night, and when I got home, he had already called. My parents hated him at first because he built cars in his free time, looked 'intimidating,' wore horrible clothes, etc. Eventually, he followed me to college, and they said I was too young to be so serious, etc. But he is and was so reliable and kind, despite his rough childhood. Anyways, it's been over 20 years, and I'm pretty sure my parents like him more than me now. I mean, they love me, but when we (finally) got married, my mom celebrated more than anyone I know, and my dad was excited to officially 'adopt' my husband. My husband is great and super hot, and I still have a crush on him. He's an amazing dad, too." —u/thin_white_dutchess 11."I married my bad boy. I met him just after high school. He was spontaneous, edgy, and got me outside my cautious comfort zone. We were very random and impulsive together, but all that changed when I had his kids." "I eventually left him. The traits that made him a fun, youthful, bad boy didn't make him a good financial provider or stable husband. He unfortunately hasn't changed much. In fact, he is doing worse as a single dude." —u/febgeekymom 12."I have no idea what my 'bad boy' is up to these days. But while we were dating, he got my then-friend pregnant, and I broke up with him. I left town and pursued my dreams, but she got stuck there with the kid. Last I heard, she was finally getting her life on track, and he had left." "Honestly, I'm thankful to her because that very easily could have been me. Now I'm happily married and 1000 miles away from that place." —u/shhhOURlilsecret 13."Mine was addicted to alcohol and drugs when I met him. He was also annoying, reckless, and partied a lot, so I don't know what attracted me to him in the first place. We had an intense time, but it didn't work out because he couldn't commit to me." "Four years later, he got sober, became a vegan, cleaned up his life, started lifting weights, and changed a lot physically. But on the inside, he is still the same anxious, rude, and arrogant man he was when we met, which is so sad. He just changed the 'facade,' not his character. I sometimes ask myself if we could have been a good match by dating later in life, but it is what it is. I moved on, and so did he." —u/CommissionStrong6305 14."I went to the prom with the 'bad boy' when I was a freshman and he was a junior. My parents were pretty overprotective because of his history (the year before I met him, he stole a friend's car and took a joyride several states away). Anyway, when the school year ended, so did our relationship." "I haven't spoken to him since 1988, but I heard that at some point in the early 90s, when he was 22-23, he got a 15-year-old girl pregnant. I have no idea what he's doing now." —u/SquatBootyJezebel 15."We dated at 14 and again at 17. He had the reputation of a rebel, hung out with a crowd that got into trouble, and was even voted 'Class Rebel' senior year. But he wasn't a malicious person and got along with everyone. He was more of a 'wrong place at the wrong time' type of guy." "We reconnected many years later, and now I'm marrying him. He's no longer the 'bad boy,' but is responsible, runs a business, and is still street-smart and combative when necessary. It was hot then, and it's still hot now." —36, NJ 16."My husband of 20 years was a certified bad boy. We didn't meet until after high school, but I've heard the stories about him running dice games in the halls, dealing in the parking lot, breaking into houses, and engaging in other behaviors that resulted in a few trips to rehab. After high school, it only got worse, and his run-ins with the justice system were very serious." "By the time we met in our early 20s, he had been indicted and was awaiting trial and sentencing. Somehow, he was only sentenced to house arrest and probation. The thing about him is that he's never been a bad person, just a kid who made lots of ill-advised choices. He's incredible, and all of those experiences made him interesting and wildly empathetic." —Anonymous 17."It hasn't been that long since we graduated, but I had a thing with the 'bad boy' new kid my senior year — weed, street racing, etc. He was kicked out of his house at 17. He always had to be in a relationship, and he'd cling to that person like his life depended on it, then completely shut them out without warning (me included)." "I went out of state for college, and he tried to work as a mechanic. Last I heard, he got his girlfriend pregnant. I have no idea where he's living, or if he's working, but I really don't care. I just feel bad for his current girlfriend, who he is inevitably going to drag down with him." —Anonymous, 19, CO 18."I dated the 'bad boy' in high school— the one all my friends tried to warn me about. He was well known for using drugs, partying, and being with a lot of girls. He had also been arrested shortly before I met him." "We definitely had our ups and downs, but he grew out of it and started associating with better people. He says my influence helped put him on a better path. Growing up, his home life was a mess, and his family didn't seem to care what he did, so of course, he was 'bad.' Now we are in our 30s, happily married, and have a child. He is the best husband and father. He no longer does 'bad' stuff, and we have a very normal life together." —32, DC 19."He wasn't exactly a 'bad boy' like a delinquent, but he was the class clown: We hit it off in middle school for a while until life started getting bad for me. He later went on to bully me because I had a low social status in the community and was showing signs of poverty at school. I had also developed a disability that affected my education, and he, along with his friends, bullied me to the point where I almost committed self-harm." "He's a doctor now and is either engaged or married to a woman who resembles me (apparently he has a type), but she clearly takes better care of herself (fake tan, veneers, etc.) I'm now a disabled substitute teacher and married mother of two." —[deleted] 20."I was convinced I was in love with him when we were in tenth grade, but my parents HATED him. We reconnected when I was in college, until one night when he left me a voicemail filled with vitriol because he couldn't reach me while I was out for a girls' night. That was enough for me, so I dropped him." "Last I heard, he's unemployed and battling his ex because he can't see his kids due to a restraining order she filed against him for domestic violence. He's a f*cking disaster. My parents were right all along (though I denied it until recently)." —u/Too-bloody-tired 21."I guess my high school 'bad' boy experience could be considered as the typical relationship of a good girl and a bad boy in reverse order, as he became the 'bad' version of himself after we broke up." "There was always the potential threat of his environment causing him to steer in the wrong direction at any time; overcoming that early on seemed like the start of a successful journey to something positive, despite all that was against him. When we broke up, he took it horribly, and I felt awful about it. Eventually, he rose above his anger and resentment by dating a girl I'd gone to school with since pre-k. Once they had established their commitment to each other, I thought nothing more of it and was happy for them both." "Then a few years later, someone asked me when I'd seen him last. I couldn't remember. They proceeded to describe to me in vivid detail and with incredible accuracy a person I would no longer recognize if he'd walked up and spit in my face." "Drugs, disease, alcohol, dishonesty, and multiple years of bad decisions and wrong choices robbed him of any chance he had at becoming something. All that was left of him looked like an image from a disturbing movie with an emptiness that made your own soul shiver. He is now simply surviving." I would love nothing more than to be able to hug him and help him get back to the boy I once knew, who had big dreams of being someone someday. Many have tried to help him over the years, but he won't change. He is doing the bare minimum to keep up his self-destructive lifestyle, which will eventually be the end of him." —53(F), South Carolina Did any of these stories surprise you?

The Odyssey Imax Tickets Sell Out a Year Early, Resale Prices Soar
A year ahead of its theatrical debut, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has already triggered a ticket-buying frenzy. Imax 70mm screenings for the July 17–19, 2026 weekend sold out within an hour of going live at midnight ET on July 17. The rapid sellout reportedly generated around $1.5 million in sales and set off a wave of high-priced resales across major platforms. The Odyssey Imax tickets being resold for $400 Buyers immediately began listing tickets for The Odyssey on platforms like eBay due to the high demand. A source told The Hollywood Reporter that resellers are pricing tickets between $300 and $400, with some listings reportedly hitting $500. One Dallas screening ticket appeared at 400% above its $25–$28 retail value. Another listing reportedly offered two seats to a July 19 screening for $399, while four AMC Lincoln Square tickets opened bidding at $1,000. Imax tweeted the offer alongside the message: 'Get tickets now to experience the first IMAX 70mm screenings of The Odyssey Movie – A film by Christopher Nolan. In theaters 7 17 26.' Major U.S. venues such as AMC Lincoln Square (New York), Universal Cinema AMC (Hollywood), and Regal Irvine Spectrum (Orange County) reported sellouts. Imax locations in San Francisco, Dublin, Ontario, Fort Lauderdale, Buford, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, King of Prussia, and Dallas also reached capacity. Canadian theaters like Cineplex Mississauga Square and Vaughan sold out quickly. In the U.K., London's BFI Imax and Science Museum locations sold out as well. Additional sites in Melbourne and the Czech Republic reported near-full or full capacity. Fans reacted with frustration online, expressing disappointment over the inflated resale prices and limited ticket availability. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey adapts Homer's Greek epic and stars Matt Damon as Odysseus. Nolan is shooting the film entirely on Imax cameras, marking the first time a commercial feature has used the format exclusively. The cast includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, and others. Although production is still underway, Universal premiered a teaser in theaters ahead of Jurassic World Rebirth earlier this month. Nolan's previous film Oppenheimer grossed $975.8 million globally, with Imax accounting for $190 million. The Odyssey has a reported net budget of $250 million.
