Chris Hemsworth and Sam Rockwell’s New Meta Action Movie Officially Recruits Matt Damon

2026 has been a benchmark year for Matt Damon so far, and while he’ll be remembered for his role in The Odyssey, he also starred in another movie that was loved by fans around the world. Back in January, Damon teamed up with his long-time collaborator and friend, Ben Affleck, for the Netflix original crime thriller, The Rip. While the film didn’t quite do enough to merit a spot in the all-time Netflix top 10 list, it did earn over 100 million views during its first 90 days on streaming, which was enough to make it one of the most-watched movies of the entire year. Damon is expected to earn an Oscar nod for his role as Odysseus in The Odyssey, but only time will tell if his performance was strong enough to beat out some of the other actors in the category.
