Robert Pattinson Says His ‘The Odyssey’ Character Is ‘Like Jacob in ‘Twilight”
Pattinson said Antinous is closer to Jacob Black than Edward Cullen as he promotes Christopher Nolan’s epic, which opens in theaters in 10 days.
- Actor Robert Pattinson, 40, compared his character Antinous in Sir Christopher Nolan's upcoming film The Odyssey to Jacob Black from Twilight, suggesting audiences might root for the villainous suitor.
- In the ancient epic, Penelope must choose between Odysseus and Antinous, who seeks to seize the throne of Ithaca, making the suitor's motives more complex than romantic interest alone.
- Drawing on his history playing Edward Cullen, Pattinson noted the dynamic mirrors the 'Team Edward' versus 'Team Jacob' fan rivalry that defined Twilight, with audiences now potentially backing the former villain.
- Director Nolan filmed the blockbuster entirely with Imax cameras, fulfilling a dream he held since age 16, as The Odyssey prepares for its July 17 release in theaters.
- The star-studded ensemble features Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Tom Holland, with production spanning Greece and Iceland to bring Homer's 2800-year-old story to the big screen.
