Robert Pattinson says he keeps comparing his role in Christopher Nolan’s action-fantasy film “The Odyssey” to “Twilight.” In comments reported by outlets, Pattinson describes his character Antinous as similar to Jacob Black, the comparison framed as a way for audiences to connect with Antinous’s motivations. Pattinson links the parallel to Antinous’s ambition and efforts to persuade Queen Penelope to remarry, suggesting viewers may relate to the character’s drives even though he is positioned as an antagonist.

Both sources also identify Antinous as Pattinson’s primary role in Nolan’s film. “The Odyssey” is based on the classical epic and centers on Odysseus’s return home after the Trojan War. The Times of India also notes the film’s ensemble cast and highlights major names included in the production, describing it as aimed at delivering an engaging experience for viewers. Pattinson’s remarks focus primarily on the character comparison and potential audience empathy rather than plot specifics beyond Antinous’s goal involving Penelope.
