Travis Scott Appears in Christopher Nolan’s Epic "The Odyssey"

Travis Scott is the latest addition to Christopher Nolan‘s highly anticipated adaptation of Homer’s legendary saga "The Odyssey”. 

NFL fans got a first look at Scott in the epic action-fantasy blockbuster during a new TV spot, which aired during Fox’s Sunday broadcast of the NFL AFC Championship matchup between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos.

In the teaser, the 10-time Grammy nominee stands on top of a table and demands the attention of a group of soldiers, which includes Tom Holland’s Telemachus and Jon Bernthal’s Menelaus. The footage quickly went viral on social media.

This is not the first collaboration between Scott and Nolan. Scott recorded the track “The Plan” for Nolan’s “Tenet.”

“His voice became the final piece of a yearlong puzzle,” Nolan told GQ as part of a 2020 profile of Scott. “His insights into the musical and narrative mechanism [composer] Ludwig Göransson and I were building were immediate, insightful, and profound.”

Starring Matt Damon as the Greek Hero Odysseus, “The Odyssey”  flaunts an all-star cast of Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Bernthal, Mia Goth, Benny Safdie, Elliot Page, Jon Bernthal, and John Leguizamo.

In addition to directing, Nolan wrote the script and produced the pic alongside his wife, Emma Thomas.

Universal said last December that the movie would be “shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology.”

“The Odyssey” is the first narrative feature shot entirely on IMAX cameras, a feat that was previously impossible because the IMAX cameras are so loud that intimate dialogue scenes are a no-go. But thanks to a new film casing called a “blimp,” the noise can be significantly reduced.

“The blimp system is a game-changer,” Nolan told Empire Magazine. “You can be shooting a foot from [an actor’s] face while they’re whispering and get usable sound. What that opens up are intimate moments of performance on the world’s most beautiful format.”

Universal executive Jim Orr teased at CinemaCon that audiences could expect “a visionary, once-in-a-generation cinematic masterpiece that Homer himself would quite likely be proud of.”

Leguizamo compared Nolan’s work ethic to that of an independent filmmaker. “He’s not doing it by committee, he’s not doing it by what the studio says,” the actor said during a recent appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“He’s like an indie filmmaker but with crazy money,” Leguizamo added.

Nolan’s most recent blockbuster was “Oppenheimer,” which won seven Oscars in 2024.

The filmmaker opened up in 2023 about the next project he’d tackle after “Oppenheimer," stating he wasn’t sure what it would be, but added, “Whatever I do, I have to feel like I own it completely. I have to make it original to me: The initial seed of an idea may come from elsewhere, but it has to go through my fingers on a keyboard and come out through my eyes alone.”

“The Odyssey” arrives in theaters on July 17.
