She's effectively Ezra Miller in terms of fan appeal. It makes zero sense. She's clearly a disturbed person, has zero problem going on TV and lying about all manner of things.


* see we have some cringe fem boy fans in the thread.

Oh Troy was horrible and I'm looking forward to this movie. I bet the cinematography will be excellent. But the casting seems odd again nothing is really confirmed.

I do believe Lupita is playing Helen.
Poor choice, but not dealbreaker

If they wanted a black Helen, shoulda gone with Meagan Good



Ellen Page as Achilles is a dealbreaker for me

I could see her as Hermes, who brings the message from Zues to Calypso that Odysseus must be set free.

It's funny how boomers will believe everything they read on the internet. Case in point

99% certain Page is Achillies and Lupita Nyong’o will be Hellen - the face that launched a thousand ships.


It's not making any money.

imagine having 99% confidence in a twitter rumor

1. Not a boomer.

2. Both names I posted are in the movie.

3. Widespread reports of those 2 being cast as stated by MANY, not mere X accounts.


But time will tell.

There are not. And Copilot finding the same rumor threads as you doesn't make that true. For instance, the sourcing, SFFGazette.com, is an article headlined "Is Elliot Page Playing Achilles in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey?" And then quotes a bunch of people asking that same question on Twitter.

People need to chill and wait for confirmation. If it turns out to be true, then bitch all you want. But this just seems like a made up rumor to me

Yes, because they haven’t released an official cast for everybody yet but that’s the rumors (and that’s what they call it) & it matches with what others are saying .

There’s no question that Page is in the movie, it’s just a matter of what exactly her role is. Why is this an issue for you?

Charlize Theron is playing the sorceress Circe, not Calypso

When I think of the greatest and most powerful warrior in Greek mythology, I definitely think of Ellen Page.

Would have guessed this was him, but he was seen filming scenes that couldn’t be Achilles.

My dark horse candidate for Achilles is none other than Damon’s BFF, Ben Affleck. Nolan was able to keep Damon’s role in Interstellar a surprise and Affleck did visit the set during filming last year. He’s pretty old though.

If the rumors are true and they’re just keeping the information from us before release, this is just a typical bait and switch.

This will just be another movie I won’t pay to see until I see audience reviews.
