Even after many successful roles across many genres, Robert Pattinson is still best known for playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga. For years, Pattinson publicly hated the writing of the movies and his character. Now, years after the last Twilight movie, his tune has changed. He actually referenced the franchise during an MTV UK red carpet interview for The Odyssey, and jokingly compared his Antinous character to Jacob from the Twilight movies. Of course, this is funny because Jacob was famously Edward Cullen’s romantic adversary.
He said that though his character, Antinous, is a villain of the story, he thinks the audience “will be rooting for him… It’s kinda like Jacob in Twilight.”
During the height of Twilight‘s popularity, there was a serious feud between fans who wanted Bella to end up with either vampire Edward or werewolf Jacob. Though she continuously chose Edward, there were still always plenty of Jacob loyalists.
Pattinson’s summary of The Odyssey is as follows (and don’t you dare tell me I’m “spoiling” a 2800-year-old text):
“What The Odyssey is about, Penelope just can’t make her mind up between two guys, and I’m just trying to like help her make a decision… [Odysseus is] dead, get over it!”
If Penelope were to choose to marry Antinous, he would not only take her hand but would also take over Odysseus’ place on the throne, so there may be more to it than “trying to help her make a decision.”
Whether you’re “Team Odysseus” or “Team Antinous” (I’m making the T-shirts right now), you can watch them both in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which comes to theaters on July 17.
