I’ll be honest - the casting is a crock of woke shit.
I don’t care how many morons pay to watch it - it is woke garbage just based on the casting alone.
It’s two people out of many. One of them isn’t even noticed in the movie.
I just looked at Monday’s grosses and Odyssey took in $18.7 million, the best Monday of any movie in 2026.
Out of curiosity, I just checked the screen time of Elliot Page, the transgender gal/dude. He/She is seen for 5 mins and 30 seconds.
The black chick has about 4 minutes of screen time as Helen of Troy - at least the gender is correct. Apparently, she has two roles. The other role is 2 more minutes of screen time. Helen of Troy portion is the role causing people to lose sleep.
These are not lead roles and someone on this thread who has seen the movie, said they didn’t even notice the transgender actor.
The character screen times from most to least are listed below:
Odysseus (Matt Damon): 95% screen time (~164 minutes)
Telemachus (Tom Holland): 50% screen time (~86 minutes)
Penelope (Anne Hathaway): 40% screen time (~69 minutes)
Antinous (Robert Pattinson): 30% screen time (~55 minutes)
Eumaeus (John Leguizamo): 30% screen time (~52 minutes)
Calypso (Charlize Theron): 12% screen time (~20 minutes)
Circe (Samantha Morton): 6% screen time (~10 minutes)
Eurylochus (Himesh Patel): 5% screen time (~9 minutes)
Athena (Zendaya): 5% screen time (~8 minutes)
Elliot Page (Sinon): 3% screen time (~5 minutes)
Agamemnon (Benny Safdie): 2% screen time (~4 minutes)
Helen of Troy (Lupita Nyong’o): 2% screen time (~4 minutes)
Melantho (Mia Goth): 2% screen time (~4 minutes)
