Headline: Christopher Nolan insists The Odyssey backlash 'comes with the territory'
Caption: The Oscar-winning director has been accused of being "woke" for casting Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, and transgender actor Elliot Page as the Greek soldier Sinon in his adaptation of Homer's epic Greek poem. When asked if he was taken aback by the discourse surrounding his film, Nolan told The Telegraph. ”(It) comes with the territory... But look, these conversations that happen before people see the film - they're always irrelevant, because no one having them knows what the film actually is yet."
