Loads of TV exhibits have made the bounce to motion pictures, typically 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 remedy, because it’s fairly in style 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 carry issues full circle, for the reason that present was near changing into a film trilogy. However Alonso’s goals have a little bit of a street block: final 12 months, Amazon obtained into it with director Doug Liman over Road House and it skipping theaters for a streaming launch. Exceptions may all the time be made, however Amazon most likely doesn’t wish to make that sort of gamble with one in every of its large franchises…or at the least not with out seeing viewers response to The Mandalorian & Grogu first.
