Robert Pattinson Says His 'The Odyssey' Character Is 'Like Jacob in 'Twilight''
Pattinson said Antinous mirrors Jacob as a romantic rival who still draws fan support in the film’s love triangle.
- Nearly 15 years after playing Edward Cullen, Robert Pattinson compares his role as Antinous in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey to Jacob Black in the Twilight franchise.
- The Odyssey, which hits theaters July 17, follows Odysseus's dangerous voyage home to wife Queen Penelope and son Telemachus after the Trojan War, featuring mythical encounters.
- During an MTV U.K. interview, Pattinson joked that Penelope is caught between two men, describing his efforts to "help her make a decision" regarding the suitors.
- Describing Antinous as 'a little sleazy,' Pattinson requested his costume include 'leopard underpants' with 'sparkly fur' to add flair to the antagonistic suitor role.
- Drawing inspiration from James Woods in Casino, Pattinson previously shared he hopes audiences will eventually root for Antinous despite the character's antagonistic nature.
