Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey still doesn’t debut until the summer, but it continues to dominate the conversation. There are a lot of reasons for that: fact that the movie is his post-Oppenheimer blank check, the fact that it is an adaptation of such an iconic piece of source material, and the star-studded ensemble cast.
But now — unsurprisingly, and unfortunately — the mere presence one member of that cast has provoked a lot of nonsense online. Rumors have begun to swirl that Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o is set to play Helen of Troy in The Odyssey… and although the specifics of her role still officially remain under wraps, that hasn’t stopped conservatives online from getting mad.
