The storyline dynamics of Twilight may never escape Robert Pattinson, as a recent interview for The Odyssey had him revealing why his movie character is drawing comparisons to a Quileute main character.
Pattinson joins the extensive cast of A-list stars starring in Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic, with the actor playing the role of the sleazy Antinous. Based on Homer's Odyssey, Antinous is depicted as one of the most arrogant of the suitors vying for Penelope's (Anne Hathaway) hand. In an interview with MTV on the movie red carpet, Pattinson was asked how "fun it is to play a character that everyone is not rooting for."
While many may see his on-screen character as a villain in the story, the Twilight actor thinks differently. He revealed that he thinks fans "will be rooting for him" instead, and it all ties back to his breakthrough role in the 2008 vampire film.
“I keep comparing. It’s kind of like Jacob in Twilight," he explained, in relation to Taylor Lautner's role in the franchise as one-third of the romantic triangle opposite Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
View this post on InstagramAs die-hard fans know, Twilight follows Bella Swan (Stewart) as she moves to Forks, Washington, to live with her police chief father. She finds herself in the midst of the supernatural in the small town after capturing the interest of vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson) and his family. Her childhood friend Jacob Black (Lautner) also harbors a family secret as a werewolf, as all three characters embark on a complex love triangle.
According to Pattinson, Antinous's role in the Odyssey has a similar concept. Antinous tried to court Penelope as her husband, Odysseus (Matt Damon), is presumed dead after a dangerous journey.
“What The Odyssey is about, Penelope can’t make her mind up between the two guys,” Pattinson explained. “And I’m just trying to help her make a decision.”
The actor then looked into the camera and joked that fans shouldn't take Antinous's evil ways too seriously because "it’s fine, he’s dead. Get over it!" What exactly happens to Antinous in the Odyssey, fans will have to watch the drama unfold in theaters or through the original source material.
