Loads of TV reveals have made the soar to films, typically to proceed the present’s story or perform as some form 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 standard 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 convey issues full circle, because the present was near turning into a film trilogy.
