The Odyssey Could Lead To A Christopher Nolan Rarity That's Only Happened Twice Before

Christopher Nolan's upcoming version of The Odyssey is already one of 2026's most anticipated films, but the director remaining on for the natural expansion of that story would only be the third time Nolan has broken a particular streak in his career. Debuting in 1998 and quickly becoming one of the defining directors of his era, Christopher Nolan has gradually become one of the most famous film directors of the 21st century. While his films might shift in focus from the adventures of Batman to the life of Robert J. Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan's filmography remains one of Hollywood's most respected.
