While engaged couple Holland and Zendaya arrived separately off a small boat not in costume, Matt Damon, who is playing the movie’s lead character Odysseus, waved to photographers as he arrived wearing his full costume. It included dark boots, an ancient Greece-style tunic, cattle armor, and a long dark green cape that billowed out behind him.

As per People, Matt Damon, Holland, and Zendaya’s arrival in Scotland marks the first time the group of actors have been photographed filming the movie on location in recent months. The group was seen in Favignana, Italy, back in March, where Damon was first seen showing off his impressive physique to portray the ancient Greek hero.

An initial teaser for the movie was released exclusively in theaters ahead of Jurassic World Rebirth. It featured Holland’s character Telemachus, Odysseus’ son, speaking with a character portrayed by Jon Bernthal, as well as the voice of John Leguizamo, who holds an as-of-yet undisclosed role in The Odyssey.

Leguizamo, 64, recently told People that working with filmmaker Nolan on the project “was like being with a visionary, like what I imagine it must have been like to work with Stanley Kubrick.”

“We were in amazing locations. It’s seven countries,” Leguizamo said, while otherwise discussing season 2 of his MSNBC travel documentary series Leguizamo Does America. “They’re in Morocco, Greece, Sicily, back to L.A., and (Nolan is) bringing work back to L.A. and to America, which is incredible.”

The Odyssey is set to release in theaters on July 17, 2026.
