Nonetheless, if you happen to had been scrolling on X or TikTok that afternoon, you might have come throughout some leaked footage filmed in cinemas. (We don’t condone filming within the movie show!! Have some class!) A lot of the leaked clips had been swiftly taken down, and it’s at present unclear whether or not Common plans to launch the teaser on-line. So, for individuals who haven’t caught it but, right here’s a abstract of what the footage reveals.
It begins with a sprawling shot of the ocean paired with some narration from somebody who sounds prefer it could possibly be R-Patz. “Darkness. Zeus’ legal guidelines smashed to items. A kingdom with no king since my grasp died. He knew it was an unwinnable struggle, after which in some way…in some way he received it,” he says, because the digital camera cuts to 2 totally different photographs of what’s presumably the Trojan Horse, which Odysseus makes use of to smuggle Greek troopers into Troy and win the struggle.

When did you final see him?” In response, Jon’s character says, “Focused on rumor, huh? Gossip,” earlier than yelling to the individuals round them, “Who has a narrative about Odysseus, huh? You!? You may have a narrative!?”
That is adopted by what seems to be our first have a look at Matt in motion as an armored-up Odysseus.

“What sort of jail? Good, previous man like that,” Jon’s character scoffs earlier than we get a foreboding shot of Odysseus stranded at sea, mendacity on some scraps of wooden in the midst of the darkish ocean. “The Odyssey” and “17. 07. 26” seem on display screen one after one other, and the teaser concludes.
