Filmmaker Christopher Nolan has lost all integrity, said billionaire industrialist Elon Musk after reports of actress Lupita Nyong’o being cast as the Helen of Troy in Nolan’s upcoming epic drama The Odyssey: A Journey Begins surfaced online. However, the makers of The Odyssey have not yet made any official announcement about Nyong’o’s role in the upcoming film. The Odyssey: A Journey Begins chronicles Odysseus’s (Matt Damon) extensive journey home following the Trojan War. The Odyssey marks Damon’s fourth collaboration with Nolan following The Departed (2006), Interstellar (2014) and Nolan’s Academy Award-winning Oppenheimer (2023). Nolan has directed and written the screenplay for The Odyssey in addition to serving as a producer alongside Emma Thomas under their Syncopy production company.
