Hilarious Fan Reactions

Many fans took to social media to share their amused reactions to the reveal.

"None of them Greek 😭💀," a fan pointed.

Several fans have pointed out that none of the actors in the film are Greek, despite it being based on ancient Greece. Perhaps that’s the true test for any actor - to step into the shoes and psyche of Greek warriors from millennia ago.

"The cast screams moneyyyyy," joked another.

With a cast this massive, it’s easy to imagine how huge the budget of the film must be. It’s quite possible that over a $100 million was spent on the A-list cast alone!

Fans have been puzzled by the casting of Benny Safdie as Agamemnon, finding it hard to imagine that sweet and harmless face portraying the powerful and feared commander of the Greek forces in the infamous Trojan War.

"Reddit came up with the cast for this film bro," a user said.

The cast is so massive and star-studded that it feels straight out of a Reddit thread where fans pitch their dream lineup for the film. Only Christopher Nolan could pull off something this impressive!

"You just know the battle sequences are gonna be shot wid IMAX cameras and zero cgi😹," commented another.

If you know anything about Christopher Nolan, you know he won’t rely on CGI, and stick to practical effects while shooting on IMAX. It’ll be interesting to see how he recreates the epic war scenes from ancient times.
