Fans react to Robert Pattinson’s new Odyssey photos
Fans have reacted positively to Robert Pattinson’s first look as Antinous in the upcoming Greek epic, The Odyssey. While Pattinson already enjoys the admiration for his acting range, his portrayal of Antinous is perhaps one of the roles that fans are excited about.
The post has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), where fans weighed in with their opinions on the reveal. One user said, “Casting is on another level.”
Meanwhile, another user said, “This GOAT plays the main antagonists in two major films this year. Now we’re waiting for the first look at Scytale. Pattinson is truly the main actor of our generation.”
A third user said, “One of the reasons I am excited for this. There isn’t many.”
“Pattinson’s range keeps hitting new levels,” a user praised Pattinson.
“Pattinson as Antinous in Nolan’s Odyssey is elite casting. Still looks one scene away from the Batsuit, yet he’s stacking villains like trophies. Dune, Russo’s, now this. Quiet menace suits him. Cinema’s MVP,” said another user.
This is one of the few photos that were released from the movie. Stills of Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Jimmy Gonzales, and Himesh Patel were also made public recently (via Entertainment Weekly). While the movie is still seven months away, new images have continued to surface online in the last few weeks. However, an official trailer has yet to be released.
Nolan’s upcoming epic will be an adaptation of the Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey. Apart from the actors mentioned above, the movie will also feature Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Mia Goth, John Leguizamo, and Elliot Page, among others.
The Odyssey will follow Odysseus (Damon) on his 10-year-long journey back home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. On his way, he faces mythical threats like Cyclops, Sirens, and Circe. The movie will arrive in theaters on July 17, 2026.
