Elon Musk slams ‘Odyssey’ casting for THIS reason
Elon Musk has recently called out Christopher Nolan for his casting choices in the highly anticipated movie, The Odyssey.
The upcoming movie, which is an adaptation of Greek epic by Homer, is currently in post-production phase.
Earlier, the reports on social media revealed that Lupita Nyong’o, who is Black, reportedly joined the cast as Helen of Troy in the latest Christopher directed movie, along with other stars including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Jon Bernthal, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Mia Goth and Benny Safdie.
Following the news, a user on Elon’s platform X wrote, “Helen of Troy was fair skinned, blonde, and ‘the face that launched a thousand ships’ because she was so beautiful that men started a war over her. Casting choices that make the premise incoherent are admissions that the story was never the point and an insult to the author.”
Later, Elon reshared the post with his response, adding, “Chris Nolan has lost his integrity.”
However, some users didn’t agree with the Tesla founder’s opinion, saying, “The Odyssey’ is a myth. There is no historical evidence to suggest that Helen of Troy actually existed, hence she can be beautiful in any colour.”
Another user said, “I want everyone to go google who Helen of Troy’s parents are, how they met, how they had sex, how Helen was born, come back, and just try to talk to me about historical accuracy with a straight face.”
Meanwhile, The Odyssey is slated to release in theatres on July 17.
