Movies that feel likeThe Odyssey (2026)

Odysseus, the legendary King of Ithaca, embarks on a long and perilous journey home following the Trojan War. Throughout his voyage, he is forced to confront the whims of gods, mythological monsters, and trials that stretch both his cunning and his humanity to the breaking point.

If you loved The Odyssey, the closest films we have are Mortal Kombat II (2026), Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) and Wonder Woman (2017). All three share The Odyssey's epic and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
