The Odyssey: Black Actors Overlooked in Film
The Odyssey is the biggest movie in the world, yet right-wing commentators insisted Christopher Nolan had gone woke by casting Black actors in prominent roles. But the reality is far different. Black actors appear briefly with minimal screen time. Travis Scott speaks the first words but that lasts ten seconds. Lupita Nyong'o plays two roles with only a few minutes of screen time. Corey Hawkins appears slightly longer as a despicable character. Zendaya gets minimal screen time looking upset. The imaginary woke takeover conservatives invented had far more Black representation than what Nolan actually delivered. He provided exactly what he always does: a movie as white as his previous films. The outrage was directed at a version of The Odyssey that never existed.
