We shouldn't have expected anything different, really. The Odyssey's first popcorn bucket has skipped the Ancient Greek motif entirely, ending up influenced by Christopher Nolan instead of Homer.
As you can see below, The Odyssey official popcorn bucket is in the shape of an IMAX camera. No Trojan Horses or helmets here as snack vessels, thank you very much.

Fittingly, The Odyssey is going all-in on IMAX, becoming the first film entirely shot in the format.
Since then, fan fervor surrounding watching Nolan's historical epic on the biggest screen possible has only intensified.
Fans have already crashed multiple ticket sites and apps on the hunt for 70mm IMAX tickets, with some even being resold – naughty, naughty – for up to $1000.
It's a little wonder, then, that Odysseus actor Matt Damon thinks this could be the end of an era in Hollywood.
"It was a really weird movie for me personally in the sense that I had almost a nostalgic feeling the entire time I was making it, because it felt like the movies when I started working. And I know that that's going away," Damond told GQ. "I knew that this was the last chance I was going to have to do something like this."
He added, "I don't think people are going to be given the resources to shoot movies that way for much longer."
The Odyssey, starring Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Robert Pattinson, is a big-screen retelling of Homer's Odyssey, an epic poem that charts Odysseus' arduous journey back home after the Trojan War. It opens in cinemas on July 17.
