Antony Starr, who plays Homelander, a popular character in Prime Video’s successful series The Boys. has created a love-hate relationship between his fanboys for loving the outrightly negative character. Readers would be aware that the actor has been receiving a lot of love for his roaring performance in the unconventional superhero comedy series. As he expressed gratitude towards his fans for loving his avatar in the show, Starr also shared how he felt The Boys is the perfect antidote to ‘Superhero Fatigue’ and revealed how he auditioned for this terrific role, while being blissfully unaware about the world he is getting into.
Antony Starr explains on how Prime Video’s The Boys is the perfect antidote to ‘Superhero Fatigue’; says, “The good guys are the bad guys and the bad guys are the good guys”
During a recent interaction, he said “I wasn’t familiar with the comic, I was filming something else at the time. My team asked me to audition, and I told them ‘I am far too busy doing other things’. But I finally put a tape down almost out of spite, because my reps kept hassling me about it. (jokingly chuckles) I literally just spat my audition out and sent it away and went back to work and of course they loved it. So, I looked at the comic book. I was like ‘how the hell are we going to put this on TV?’ You can’t screen that, this is obscene! But the show is taking a lot of creative licenses. I think one of the beautiful things about the show is, I have heard this phrase, thrown around a lot, ‘superhero fatigue’ and I think we are the antidote to that because our universe is completely 180. The good guys are the bad guys and the bad guys are the good guys right? So, sorry for all the Homelander fanboys that thought he is a good guy.”
