Christopher Nolan has confirmed a casting twist for his upcoming \u201cmythic action epic,\u201d The Odyssey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Lupita Nyong\u2019o plays both Helen of Troy and<\/em> her sister, Clytemnestra, in The Odyssey. Confirmation comes from a profile of the celebrated director in Time magazine<\/a>, which also includes Nolan\u2019s defence of the The Odyssey from complaints around historical accuracy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Odyssey is an adaptation of Homer\u2019s foundational saga of the same name, one of the major epics of ancient Greek literature. It stars Hollywood heavyweights such as Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. Helen of Troy, or Helen of Sparta, is a figure in Greek mythology renowned as the most beautiful woman in the world. Her abduction by Paris of Troy sparked the decade-long Trojan War.<\/p>\n
