Prime Video’s hit series, The Boys, is confirmed to end with its upcoming Season 5. However, the show’s star Laz Alonso, who plays Mother’s Milk, is eager to see the story conclude with a grand cinematic finale. While showrunner Eric Kripke hasn’t agreed to this yet, the idea of a The Boys movie has fans buzzing.
A Potential The Boys Movie?
On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Laz Alonso shared his aspirations for a The Boys film to wrap up the series. He mentioned his continuous yet unsuccessful attempts to pitch this idea to Kripke. Alonso proposed making the final episode of Season 5 a cliffhanger, followed by the announcement of a movie that has been secretly in production since the series began.
Homelander actor Antony Starr chimed in, expressing his enthusiasm for the idea. Imagining a The Boys movie opens up numerous possibilities. Could it feature an epic showdown between superheroes and supervillains, with The Boys caught in the middle? Or perhaps it would offer a more nuanced look at the aftermath of Season 5’s events, focusing on the world and its characters?
The Journey So Far
The Boys premiered in 2019 and quickly became a sensation for Prime Video. Known for its gory action and dark humor, the show offers a unique satire of contemporary superhero movies and TV shows. Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys follows a group of vigilantes aiming to take down supervillains led by the formidable Homelander, an anti-Superman figure.
Expanding the Universe
The success of The Boys has led to two spinoffs. The Boys Presents: Diabolical, an animated series, and Gen V, which has already been renewed for a second season. These spinoffs have allowed fans to explore the universe of The Boys further, offering more insights and backstories to the main narrative.
What Could a Movie Bring?
Considering the show’s nature of parodying real-life events and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a The Boys movie could go in many directions. It might avoid a mega team-up, given the series’ unique take on the superhero genre. Instead, it could delve into the consequences of Season 5, bringing a satisfying conclusion to the arcs of beloved characters.
As fans eagerly await the final season, the idea of a movie continues to spark excitement and speculation. Whether or not Kripke decides to take Alonso’s pitch remains to be seen, but the possibility keeps the fandom’s hopes alive.
