It’s crazy how well casted Homelander was. Anthony doesn’t look anything like Homelander in real life but my god does he do an amazing job playing the narcissistic psychopathic supe.
I think after the last episode that it will happen, (spoilers), I think Homelander is finally gonna have the parental figure he's been looking for for so long & I think that if Soldier Boy then ends up getting killed it'll finally send Homelander off the deep end for season 4
Chace is a really good sport about his character and its development. Hope he gets that one scene he deserves that leaves a mark besides singing with his gills.
I really love how Eric Kripke is in many interviews and you can see how much joy he gets from making the show. I mean how often do you see showrunners and not only actors in interviews like this? And the chemistry between him and the actors is so wholesome, he seems like a fun dude
I never imagined they would make the deep a comic relief, tortured soul and a complex character. Like you don't know what to really feel for this guy, you don't know if you should feel pity, anger etc. The guy is just too damn entertaining, every time he's on the screen.
I’ve noticed in actors, if they’re good people in real life they can play a very convincing bad guy on screen (ex Antony Starr & James Gandolfini), but if they play a convincing good guy they’re probably a dick in real life (ex Amber Heard)
Check out Giancarlo Esposito in interviews/real life -- he is the warmest, most loving, effusive person. 100000000& the opposite of the villains he's known for.
@@rachit1042 I have already watched banshee like a year ago that's why I am saying he's one beast of an actor. Banshee was so good and he's perfomance was heartbreaking, so emotional.
Yeah especially after season 3 episode 6. When talking to himself in the mirror was absolutely sublime acting. His facial expressions and voices in that scene were brilliant.
@@mrball5766 Yeah, when you put that next to the great Willem Dafoe who pulled this off super convincingly in Spider-Man, Anthony Starr managed to go toe to toe with one of the legends. He's killing it in the role. :-)
Well yeah he literally worked on one of the biggest shows for 15 whole seasons. Supernatural was an absolute masterpiece. Especially the earlier seasons.
I think Jensen is one of the great actors of our time. His facial expressions in Supernatural were amazing, his face was constantly changing. This show was not only interesting in itself, I was interested in watching his image and everything. It's a pity that he has few roles, I hope after The Boys he will get more.
@@purplelover3626 that would be cool, I've heard there's not alot of solider boy in the show this season, but so far he seems to be different from the comics version
Jensen was perfect for Soldier Boy - his character was right in line with everyone elses in the Boys universe. Flawed naturally as someone from the 40s.
@@anne-sophie7416 Yeah, it's a rough one to try to talk about without giving much away. Thank fuck they show butcher with laser eyes in promotional material so telling people that he fights homelander at some point doesn't spoil anything lol
I feel like cast and crew always say "I think this is our best season", and so far, I think this is one of the rare cases where they're correct. It's been absolutely fire. It's absolutely debatable which is the best season, but they really have not let up in terms of quality.
I agree and I think the latest episode was the best episode of the entire series so far off. We finally got that payoff that they’d been setting up since the beginning
Ow it's definally the best season. I didn't anything would top the exploding Hughie girlfriend but that first scene with little man going down the hole was definally something. I think Jenson always heightens the entertainment.
It’s mostly the hair the changes him. I’d seen him in both American Gothic and Rush but I didn’t even recognise him when I started watching the boys because the hair colour totally changed his look
when chace and jensen were in the same frame in the end, i had half hoped tom welling would pop in as well for the whole CW explosion. eric kripke, you really are the man, and this cast is really fun and so involved in their characters if only because the material they work with is just THAT fun.
Kripke is my kindred spirit. If he could, he would break every single taboo that is still in place, and he actually needs his actors to stop him. Nothing is too insane for this guy. I love that mindset
9:36 that, what he says, is basically why this show is so successful, if every show was really throughout with this, they would all be more successful. It has to make sense to the story, has to need to be there for SOME reason, even if a tiny one. And it has to be explainable, even if the directors doesn't choose to explain. (althought it's better when explained).
24:48 feels like such a Jensen teasing Misha for his Cas voice moment. Although the only other voice I can imagine him giving to Soldier Boy would probably be too close to Dean or batman
I love Garth Ennis, one of my favorite comic book writers ever and I gotta respect Eric Kripke for for transitioning the source material to the screen, great freaking work.
This guy... just knows his actors so well, it's incredible how well he's picked them and put them in the right positions. Top tier show runner. Eric, a legend for your choices and the actors all legends for filling their roles so well. Absolutely hilarious bit about the "Octopus Teacher"
@@Lillian.Gao. I guess you didn't hear about him drunkenly smashing a glass on a 21 yo kid's face and screaming "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" Granted it was a drunken mistake, it happens we're human after all, but the ego you speak of if definitely there. There isn't a single celebrity that doesn't have a massive ego. Some of them do realise they're playing pretend in front of a camera and humble themselves but egoistical nonetheless.
I hope he gets the emmy nomination, although he might get neglected since he had that intoxicated assault issue a while back. He's a really talented actor.
In regards to kripke’s final statement, Tbh longevity is the last thing this show needs.quick and begging for more is how it should go out. Like tarantino said he wants people to want him to make an 11th film etc, not saying “oh man he’s still going” based on the comic material it would be perfect at like 5-6 seasons…pushing homelander to that end game/ruling society is where its going to end up anyway and they hint at it every so often. All i will say is that their writers definitely dont make it easy to predict, but it would probably wrap up best like so.
Hah I love how they joked about Chace and Jensen not wanting to be in the same room as each other throughout the video then they casually slip chace back into the room at the end with Jensen in the room.😂
I was about to say Anthony Starr looks good with facial hair. He should grow it out more and get cast as Wolverine in the MCU. But... I think he would make a better Magneto.
I have watched supernatural since S1 and when I heard Jensen was cast I was worried I wouldn’t unsee him as Dean… but it’s the other way around now. Great actor
I could see Antony doing an in character book tie in like Andrew Robinson did with Garak from Deep Space Nine. Writing letters and a memoir in character as things are going on, giving some insight into the character from the source.
The idea that power always corrupts is a juvenile oversimplification that is not even true most of the time, let alone all the time. I think they hit the nail on the head with the idea that power is really just a way to reveal who a person really is. People mistake that for corruption, but deep down they were like that all along. There are plenty of people with power who are not corrupt and use it for good.
@@Melanrick not just Marcus Aurelius, Literally every leader who didn't became a fucking tyrant. Like,what power hungry despotic act did Obama ever did? He's an imperialist who bombed kids in Syria sure,but that just makes him part of the establishment,not a power drunk
9:20 so well said, this is exactly the main reason this show works and seems its something nowadays most writers don't understand, even if it's crazy what happens makes sense within the characters development or in the overall arch
I love the fact that Antony Starr refers to his character Homelander as "Homie."
lmao right it's almost like his real alter ego or his friend
It seems like they all do. I also heard Jensen refer to Homelander as "Homie" in one of the trailers.
That's what I call him too, not cos he's a homie. But that's what makes it ironic and funny 😂
Homielander
Reminds of how Andrew Lincoln refers to his character from Twd "Rick Grimes" as Ricky
It’s crazy how well casted Homelander was. Anthony doesn’t look anything like Homelander in real life but my god does he do an amazing job playing the narcissistic psychopathic supe.
I didnt even know that was him at the start of the video
He does a good job in the show banshee as well
@@mightymochi6320 That is where I first saw him. Loved that show
he does a good job playing one in real life too, he was arrested for punching a chef in spain lol

Throwback to the recess
I'm waiting for it to pay off.

*leaves SPN, ditches the flannels*
I've also noticed that. Lol
We've just gotten way too used to the flannel, jeans, and boots for the last 15+ years
Any idea what those glasses are? I need a pair!
I honestly just hope Soldier Boy doesn't die in the end. I love Jensen's acting so much and love seeing him in anything!
Same! I definitely think he will die but I'd love it if he survived.
I believe that would depend on the viewers reaction, if his appeareance increased the profits more than what it costs to hire him then yes
I think after the last episode that it will happen, (spoilers), I think Homelander is finally gonna have the parental figure he's been looking for for so long & I think that if Soldier Boy then ends up getting killed it'll finally send Homelander off the deep end for season 4
Jensen said in his podcast interview with Michael Rosenbaum that “they left it open to where he could come back if you wanted to”
i think he wil die in episode 8 since he wasnt said to come back for season 4
I agree with Jensen about power, if you want to see a person's true self then give them power. True colours will always out.
Corrupt a man's heart with a gift, that's how you find out who you dealing with - Kendrick Lamar
Guys you can trust me. Give me all the power in the world and I will not make everyone a slave. I promise.
That is an old proverb but it got popularized as a Abraham Lincoln quote

13:24 Too much CW in the room 😆🤣
19:02 I love Eric’s and Jensen’s friendship 😂
I love Antony Starr-great actor but also his commitment to his character and love for his craft shows in every interview 👏🏼
Jensen has become such a veteran in terms of knowledge and how stuff works. His maturity in knowledge and experience is noticable in this interview.

I literally only started watching The Boys because of Jensen Ackles being in it and I am so glad I did because its amazing.
I started watching in 2019, but was absolutely thrilled when I saw Jensen’s announcement on Instagram that he was gonna be on the show.
Not only did he bring in his annoying fans but also spoiled the show in interviews. What a great addition.
@@FullMetalB it's not that deep.

Can't wait for interaction between Soldier Boy and Homelander it's gonna be so great
It’s so funny, Homelander laughs: I shit my pants worrying. Antony Starr laughs: it’s so damn contagious! What a phenomenal actor!

I like how casual Anthony is looking here
Now that he’s said it I want Tom Welling casted in this universe
Yes
Same, our og CW boy
I love that AS called his character Homie.

He looks mid to late 30's
And this is why this show is amazing....because of these amazing people having fun working together.
