What if Cassie and Rue possessed superhuman abilities? According to star Patrick Schwarzenegger, the "The Boys" spin-off answers that question.

Patrick Schwarzenegger as Golden Boy


The new Prime Video college series "The Boys" has been compared to HBO's " Euphoria" with a superhero element, according to the "Staircase" actor. According to an official series description, "hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities," the R-rated dark comedy will be set at "America's only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (and run by Vought International)," and will explore "hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities."

On Variety's Just for Variety podcast, Schwarzenegger remarked, "This set is really enjoyable, and there's just a loosey-goosey comedy." "I suppose it's like 'Euphoria' meets superheroes."

Schwarzenegger also revealed that he auditioned for the role of Homelander, which went to Anthony Starr in the end. The creators of "The Boys" remembered him for a spin-off, but Schwarzenegger won't provide any information.

"I honestly had no idea," the actor admitted. "That's something I can say because it's true. It's not like I made a conscious decision not to read something. They're very tight-lipped about what goes on on this show."

However, "It's The Boys, The Boys, The Boys, The Boys, The Boys, The I'm sure it'll be something f**king insane, "Schwarzenegger made a joke.

"What the f**k are you filming?" his father Arnold Schwarzenegger exclaimed when he saw the first set images.

Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, and Shelley Conn feature alongside Schwarzenegger in the untitled series. The spin-off, according to executive producer Eric Kripke, would be "one of the most realistic college shows that has ever been done," with "Hunger Games" overtones.

The animated spin-off anthology series "The Boys: Diabolical," which aired on Prime Video on March 4, was inspired by the "The Boys" universe. According to a series description, the spinoff included "fun-size episodes," with each episode lasting between 12 and 14 minutes. Among the "Diabolical" writers and episodes included in the genesis tale of The 7 commander Homelander were Awkwafina, Ilana Glazer, Andy Samberg, Aisha Tyler, Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen, and original "The Boys" creator Garth Ennis.

"Season 3 of "The Boys" received a B rating from IndieWire critic Ben Travers, who wrote, "'The Boys' is a black comedy, an action extravaganza, and a vicious editorial all rolled under the same cape. Doing any one of these things half as well as what's seen in Season 3 would be a challenge, and doing them all while maintaining its own distinct identity makes 'The Boys' that much more impressive."

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
