Christopher Nolan's adaptation of 'The Odyssey' is facing backlash, with criticism targeting the film's casting choices, including the role of Helen of Troy played by Lupita Nyong'o, as well as its armour designs and the involvement of Travis Scott. The backlash has prompted responses from both Nolan and Nyong'o, who have addressed the criticism. The nature and extent of the backlash, which may include racist commentary, has led to restricted comments and ongoing debate about the film.
