Academy Award-winning actor Gary Oldman's criticism of casting choices in the upcoming film 'Trojan War' has sparked a heated debate in the film industry. Oldman took to social media to express his concerns over the casting of Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and Elliot Page as Sinon, leading to a backlash from fans and fellow actors alike. In a surprising turn of events, Jonathan Nolan, the director of the film, has invoked the controversy surrounding Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker in Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' to defend his casting decisions. Nolan argues that Ledger's iconic performance was initially met with skepticism, but ultimately cemented his legacy as one of the greatest villains in cinematic history.
