Not seeing this shot in the latest trailer, so may not be authentic, but it's blowing up on twitter. Would probably confirm Lupita as Helen
That could have been interesting.
Helen was the most beautiful woman in the Greek world or whatever according to Homer, she could be picky and fickle and it turns out she was and all of Greece's men and demigods were willing to fight for her so yeah lol

Most overrated director of my lifetime
Diane Kruger played Helen in that movie. Interestingly enough, she is a German model. So Germanic features were their criteria for the most beautiful Greek woman of her era when they were casting for that movie back in the early 2000's
That sure is a stretch lol
I think I did a while ago the third Batman film he did sucked it was boring as hell
Is there a group which does have a strong presence in Hollywood btw?Isn't this what they call...
Too bad Greeks don't have strong lobby in Hollywood, they can butcher source material hover they like.
It's seriously LOOKS (to me) as if a high schooler is putting together a movie based on the Cliffs Notes of The Odyssey without actually reading the book.
Are you saying he's lived long enough to become the villain?
And to have her you just gotta look like this....
Yeah man I'd start a war for that.
That's the captain of the Mighty Ducks son!And to have her you just gotta look like this....
That's HAVING GAME, son!
Read the poem. See the analyses of the colors used on the sculptures. The Ancient Greeks did seem to be blonde and blue eyed to some extent.
Do it.
Alexander the Great, quite possibly the most famous Greek ever, was described as blonde, and possibly with one blue and one brown eye. So its pretty unquestionable that there were fair haired, light eyed, and presumably fair skinned greeks, particularly at a time before all the persian invasions starting 500 BC or so. Troy and the Trojan war, presumably the city in Turkey, would have happened centuries earlier, well before significant ethnic exchanges via invasion. Its even more likely that having blonde hair and light eyes, almost ALWAYS an exceptional set of features anyplace outside of northern europe, would have contributed to Helen's extraordinary beauty in Greece. We can be HIGLY confident that however she looked, it certainly wasn't sub-Saharan black, as those folks were specifically called out whenever they appeared due to the extreme exoticism of their appearance.

I guess it's weird that people took my post as some kind of justification or defense of the possible casting of Helen in Nolan's film but I'm not in charge of people's reactions to thingsAlexander the Great, quite possibly the most famous Greek ever, was described as blonde, and possibly with one blue and one brown eye.

Though I'm more bummed about Achilles, the GREATEST WARRIOR of the saga, being a 120 pound twink, if the Ellen Page casting is true. Though maybe she hit the T really hard and bulked up? Achilles actually being a woman and not having testicles might actually be a fun way to play into the "Achilles Heel" myth, since a blow to the groin wouldn't hurt her like it would a man

At least we'll have good laughs when this movie comes out.
We are in the worst timeline. Was it smart phones? COVID? Both?
