The casting of Lupita Nyong'o to play the character Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan's 'Odissea' adaptation caused intense discussions and backlash.

The New York Times approached the issue by drawing attention to the fact that Matt Damon, who takes on one of the lead roles, also does not physically resemble a Greek character.
