The Boys Homelander Actor Wants Hideo Kojima to Make a Game Based on the Show

gamerant.com:

Amazon’s The Boys is currently in the midst of airing its third season, which has introduced Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy and continues the show's tradition of racy imagery and superpowered bouts. The show's popularity continues to rise as well, and has even made the rounds with an important figure in the gaming industry.

Recently, gaming industry mogul Hideo Kojima took to Twitter to discuss his thoughts on The Boys. Beginning by saying that he had “quit after 3 episodes of season 1,” Kojima eventually went on to watch the entirety of the show that had aired. Interestingly, he notes that a project he “had been warming up for a long time” needed to be shelved thereafter due to how similar its concepts were to The Boys at that time. Adding gasoline to this mix, there has now been a direct response from The Boys’ showrunner and lead actor encouraging Kojima to pursue a direct adaptation.

The Boys’ showrunner Eric Kripke responded to Kojima, stating that together they could “team up and conquer!” Kripke seems delighted and eager to be involved with Kojima on a game centered around The Boys in particular, and also says that they are a “huge fan” of the auteur. It is exciting to see such a response from The Boys’ showrunner, who was also backed in their encouragement of a Kojima-led The Boys game by the show’s lead actor Antony Starr, who plays the sinister Homelander. For now, it is undetermined whether Kojima will actually take Kripke and Starr up on their invitation.

Kripke and Starr wanting Kojima to adapt The Boys instead of simply moving along with his own project is telling of their openness to Kojima’s direction and design philosophies. If
