Loads of TV reveals have made the leap to films, typically to proceed the present’s story or operate 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 widespread and it’d be an honest flex on Prime Video’s finish to say its superhero present can stand with the large leagues. It’d additionally deliver issues full circle, for the reason that present was near turning into a film trilogy. However Alonso’s goals have a little bit of a street block: final yr, Amazon acquired 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 in all probability doesn’t need to make that form of gamble with one in every of its large franchises…or at the very least not with out seeing viewers response to The Mandalorian & Grogu first.
