Elon Musk Promises AI-Made 'Odyssey' Film by 2026

Elon Musk plans to use his xAI video tool, Grok Imagine, to produce a “historically accurate” full-length adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey before the end of 2026. He announced the project after sharing a three-minute AI-generated clip of Odysseus’s adventures. Musk’s pledge follows months of criticism over Christopher Nolan’s decision to cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy and Elliot Page in a Greek warrior role. Musk argued these choices compromise the integrity of Homer’s epic and has repeatedly attacked Nolan’s casting on his social feed. Supporters defend Nolan’s creative freedom, while critics accuse Musk of racism and transphobia. Industry observers also question whether Grok Imagine can maintain character continuity and story coherence across a feature-length production.
