'Odyssey' director Christopher Nolan and actors Matt Damon and Charlize Theron will visit Korea. Most significantly, this marks the first-ever visit by the world-renowned filmmaker Christopher Nolan, whom Korean movie fans have eagerly awaited, adding special meaning to the trip.

On the 6th, Universal Pictures announced the visit of director Christopher Nolan, actors Matt Damon, and Charlize Theron. With films such as 'Interstellar', 'Dunkirk', 'Tenet', and 'Oppenheimer' attracting over 36 million viewers in Korea alone—earning him the nickname "Nolan's Country"—the love Korean fans hold for director Christopher Nolan is extraordinary. As this visit has long been a dream of fans, director Nolan himself sent a handwritten letter to Korean fans who have offered unwavering support and encouragement ahead of his first visit to Korea.

In the letter, he expressed heartfelt sentiments toward Korean fans: "I am grateful for the love and support Korean fans have shown my films over the years. It is especially meaningful that I will be visiting Seoul through 'Odyssey,' and I am truly delighted to meet Korean audiences directly and present this film." These sincere words have further heightened expectations.

According to sources, this visit to Korea was realized due to director Nolan's active request, despite previous attempts to bring him to Korea that had not come to fruition. It is reported that for 'Odyssey', he has personally coordinated various schedules with great care, expressing his strong desire to meet fans in Korea and introduce the film, further amplifying the significance of this visit.

Adding to the excitement, Matt Damon, who plays 'Odysseus', and Charlize Theron, who plays 'Calypso', have confirmed their visits, completing an all-star lineup. Matt Damon's first visit in 10 years since 'The Bourne Identity' in 2016 adds to the joy, while this marks Charlize Theron's first official trip to Korea for film promotion, allowing her to share a meaningful moment with domestic fans. Director Christopher Nolan, Matt Damon, and Charlize Theron are scheduled to spend special time with Korean audiences through various official events during their visit, including press conferences and red carpet appearances.

Meanwhile, 'Odyssey' will be released in theaters on August 5.
