Travis Scott makes movie debut in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey; here’s what fans think

Wait — Travis Scott in a Christopher Nolan film? Apparently, yes. The internet is losing it after a new television spot for Nolan’s much-anticipated epic The Odyssey revealed an unexpected cameo by the 10-time Grammy-nominated rapper.

The one-minute teaser, which aired during Fox’s broadcast of the AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos, gave fans a brief but striking look at Travis’ mysterious character, marking one of the most surprising collaborations of the year.

In the clip, a scene featuring Jon Bernthal’s Menelaus and Tom Holland’s Telemachus is dramatically interrupted as Scott enters, commanding the room with the booming taps of a staff. “A war, a man, a trick — a trick to break the walls of Troy,” he declares, as the teaser cuts to sweeping visuals of the Trojan War. “It’s burning, screaming to the ground,” he said.

“Bro what when was Travis casted in it…” read one reaction, while another user admitted, “This is a tweet I never expected to read.” The surprise pairing of the Utopia hitmaker and the Oppenheimer (2023) director had many amused — “Wait Travis Scott and Christopher Nolan, that was not on my bingo card,” one fan joked.

Others were simply intrigued, with comments like, “Okay someone tell me I’m not the only one obsessing over this first look,” and “I’m really looking forward to this movie.” Still, some sceptics weighed in too: “Why is all the rappers trying to be actors now?”
