Robert Downey Jr. was Sir Christopher Nolan's choice to play the Greek ocean god Poseidon, but Downey turned it down due to scheduling conflicts with Avengers: Doomsday (2026).
In a conference call (released by Variety), IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond revealed that Sir Christopher Nolan will use never-before-seen IMAX technology in this film.
Filming is to be done at the Italian island of Favignana, which is believed to be the place where Homer envisioned Odysseus landing with his motley crew to barbecue goats and stock up on food.
Costing $250 million, this is Sir Christopher Nolan's most expensive film, tied with El caballero oscuro: La leyenda renace (2012).
This movie is shot with the new IMAX film technology and 100% shot with IMAX 65mm film cameras
