As 'The Boys' comes to an end and 'Mortal Kombat II' hits theaters, the actor reflects on a career that's touched on almost every significant genre franchise.

    I’m still hoping he’ll reprise his role as Dredd.

    In his first outing, the worldbuild was good, his portrayal was spot-on. The story, sure, had its ups and downs. But, in the end, it’s a pretty solid comic-book action flick. Better than a lot of the dreck we’ve seen.

    If he’s playing Johnny Cage at 53, he could still be Dredd at 60.

      I thought the Dredd remake was really good and I normally do not like American comic book movies. I would even argue the remake felt a bit more realistic than the original (which was decent, but not great).

    He just kept killing it at side roles until he got his own show.

    But to keep up with tradition, he kind of became a side character compared to home lander given all of the memes

      No, the homelander meme people are the dumbasses of The Boys fandom. They do not represent the majority of the fandom. Butcher is the main male character, period.

        Idk about them being dumbasses, but I have noticed right wing people using home lander as if they actually support him.

        I agree, Butcher is the main character (well maybe Hughie since we are suppose to identify with him) but god dam, home lander is like the only good villain we’ve had recently besides Thanos

        What about Petit Hughie?

        I think I’d consider him as much, if not more, of a main character
