Other Reddit users were quick to react to the comment,

"I feel like this would work well cus Evans is used to acting like "Popular quirky hero character" and hed probably be able to act it well just doing something based off that experience. Not that Im saying hed be better than our dearest starr." One more user commented.

Who is Homelander on The Boys?

Homelander is one of the central characters and primary antagonists in the Amazon Prime Video series The Boys, based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Portrayed by Antony Starr, he is the leader of The Seven, a group of corporate-backed superheroes.

Despite his public persona as a symbol of American heroism and moral righteousness, Homelander is a deeply flawed and menacing figure. He possesses superhuman strength, flight, laser vision, and near invulnerability.

However, his charming exterior hides a narcissistic, sociopathic personality, and he often engages in ruthless, manipulative, and violent behavior to maintain his power and control. The character explores themes of absolute power, corruption, and the dark side of superhero culture.
