Right now, Amazon Prime Video<\/a> hasn’t recast Homelander in the live-action version of The Boys<\/em>. The change people keep talking about only applies to the video games<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So if you saw the rumor, here’s what actually happened: Antony Starr was never replaced on Prime Video, and his performance stayed one of the biggest reasons<\/strong> The Boys<\/em> turned into such a phenomenon over the course of its run.<\/p>\n\n

In the games, though, Homelander is now voiced by Jake Green, including The Boys: Trigger Warning<\/em> and Mortal Kombat 1<\/a><\/em>. Starr had already confirmed that he wouldn’t be voicing the character<\/strong> in Mortal Kombat 1<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

If you pay close attention to franchise casting, this is the kind of thing you clock, not some massive shake-up. Game and spin-off recasts are pretty standard, and most fans on Reddit<\/a> and elsewhere said Green nailed Homelander’s smug<\/strong> cadence, even if a few lines landed a little off.<\/p>\n\n

The timing makes sense, too. Season five ended in 2026<\/strong>, so the franchise is now in its post-The Boys<\/em> phase, while Gen V<\/em> keeps going, Vought Rising<\/em> is set for 2027, and The Boys: Mexico<\/em> is still in the pipeline. The franchise had also already gone through a real recast before, when Ryan Butcher shifted from Parker Corno to Cameron Crovetti.<\/p>\n\n

You can still watch Antony Starr in the live-action series on Prime Video, and you can hear Jake Green in the recent games.<\/p>\n
