Loads of TV reveals have made the leap to films, usually to proceed the present’s story or perform as some form of epilogue or definitive finish. It wouldn’t be that out of the query for The Boys to get the film therapy, because it’s fairly well-liked and it’d be an honest flex on Prime Video’s finish to say its superhero present can stand with the massive leagues. It’d additionally deliver issues full circle, for the reason that present was near changing into a film trilogy. However Alonso’s goals have a little bit of a street block: final yr, Amazon obtained into it with director Doug Liman over Road House and it skipping theaters for a streaming launch. Exceptions may at all times be made, however Amazon most likely doesn’t wish to make that form of gamble with certainly one of its massive franchises…or not less than not with out seeing viewers response to The Mandalorian & Grogu first.
