Loads of TV reveals have made the leap to motion pictures, usually to proceed the present’s story or perform as some sort 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 common 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 changing into a film trilogy. However Alonso’s goals have a little bit of a highway block: final 12 months, 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 in all probability doesn’t wish to make that sort of gamble with one among its large franchises…or no less than not with out seeing viewers response to The Mandalorian & Grogu first.
