Hollywood blockbuster director Christopher Nolan showed he's unbothered by the MAGA uproar about his new movie with his latest comments.
MAGA has been upset about Nolan's casting choices for his adaptation of the ancient Greek epic, "The Odyssey," including Lupita Nyong'o, whose parents are Kenyan, as Helen of Troy, and transgender actor Elliot Page, who was erroneously speculated to be playing Achilles.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Nolan dismissed the backlash as "irrelevant," adding that it "comes with the territory." An article by Variety noted that even prominent right-wing voices like X owner and former Trump aide Elon Musk and conservative commentator Matt Walsh had been vocal critics.
