Loads of TV exhibits have made the leap to films, typically to proceed the present’s story or operate as some type 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 a good flex on Prime Video’s finish to say its superhero present can stand with the large leagues. It’d additionally convey issues full circle, because the present was near turning into a film trilogy. However Alonso’s goals have a little bit of a street block: final yr, Amazon received 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 type of gamble with one in every of its huge franchises…or not less than not with out seeing viewers response to The Mandalorian & Grogu first.
