Christopher Nolan, the acclaimed director of Oppenheimer, is set to make his first-ever visit to South Korea. Universal Pictures announced on Monday that Christopher Nolan, along with stars Matt Damon and Charlize Theron, will be traveling to Korea this August to promote their upcoming film Odyssey. This trip holds particular significance as it marks Nolan's long-awaited debut in the country. Industry insiders reveal that the visit comes after several previous attempts, with Nolan himself pushing for the opportunity to connect with his Korean fanbase.

Christopher Nolan's films have consistently captivated Korean audiences, with works like Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet, and Oppenheimer collectively drawing over 36 million viewers in the country. In anticipation of his visit, Christopher Nolan penned a heartfelt note to his Korean fans, expressing that he's deeply grateful for the unwavering support it has shown his films over the years. The chance to visit Seoul for Odyssey is particularly meaningful, and he's thrilled to present this film in person.

The star-studded Korean tour will feature Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus, and Charlize Theron, cast as Calypso, alongside Christopher Nolan. The trio is scheduled to participate in a variety of events, including press conferences and red carpet appearances, offering Korean fans unprecedented access to the Hollywood heavyweights.

Odyssey chronicles the epic journey of Odysseus (Damon), the legendary hero who led Greece to victory in the decade-long Trojan War. The film follows his perilous voyage home to his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and son Telemachus (Tom Holland), as his kingdom grapples with political unrest in his absence. The highly anticipated epic is slated for release on August 5.
