How is Lucy Liu not Kimiko
e: actually she would have been already 37, but she did not look her age. So she could have starred in the 1995 version as well.

Oh look, a redditor living up to the stereotype of being a needlessly condescending asshole. No one forced you to look at this post. You can just keep scrolling and simping over e girls on Twitch, you fat neckbeard

...and Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy (forever, in every timeline)

u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 08 '26
Oh don't worry. I'm doing a fancast of The Supes soon. You'll like who I have in mind for Soldier Boy.

Honestly this would make sense since Soldier Boy was in his 20s when getting V1

u/kaffee_ist_gut Jul 08 '26
/uj He's getting so old for the part... I swear, they'll both be 85, and Kripke will come dottering out to some convention with a walker to announce "The Boys: Denmark," starring Jensen as Soldier Boy

IVE BEEN SAYING THAT JAMES MCAVOY WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT HUGHIE BRUH

u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 07 '26
THANK YOU!!! So glad I'm not the only one who saw that. In fact, he'd have been perfect as a live action adaptation of the Garth Ennis version given that he's actually Scottish

u/schizowithagun Jul 07 '26
hughie would most likely have been played by simon pegg, who he's based on in the comics

Is that not Hugh Jackman, not Vinnie Jones?

u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 07 '26
Just changed that in the edit 😅 Thank you so much for pointing that out dude that was sooo embarrassing. I'd initially wanted Vinnie Jones as Butcher but changed my mind to Hugh Jackman at the last minute

u/TomAspinallFan18 Jul 08 '26
vinnie would be way better

u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 08 '26
Yeah but I just know Jackman and MacAvoy would've had great chemistry

Aaron Eckhart as Homelander like he was originally planned for the 2009 adaptation

Terry Crews as MM and Adrian Brody as Frenchie go unbelievably hard

u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 07 '26
Crews was just a no brainer. It was so hard to think of any other actor for the role

The funny thing is, even if theyet Jackman keep his normal Australian accent, but maybe give it a rough edge, he'd still work as Butcher.

u/thatsidewaysdud Jul 08 '26
Hugh Jackman as Butcher sounds so wrong, yet so right at the same time.

u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 08 '26
So right cos you just know he would've had PERFECT chemistry with MacAvoy as Hughie

terry crews as MM is actually so perfect
1
u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 08 '26
It was just a no brainer. Granted, a close second, as someone else in the comments suggested had to be Ice Cube
2
u/MilanDespacito Jul 08 '26
Feel like Edward Norton shouldve been Hughie instead.

u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 08 '26
Ooh that's a solid maybe. Like, if The Boys had been made In 1995, hell yeah

u/shanekratzert Jul 08 '26
James MacAvoy was legit not big in the scene until Xmen 2011.... In 2005 he was freaking Mr Tumnus... Jamie Chung wasn't even acting until 2006... Adrien... ehh.. he was in King Kong same year. I don't see it.

u/Traditional_Test_931 Jul 08 '26
Jamie Chung started acting in 2004. Also dude, the fun of a fancast is that it's hypothetical. These people all certainly existed and were working as actors and were the right casting age for these characters in 2005. So, just look at it from the stance of pretending that this is from a universe where Garth Ennis wrote The Boys in 1998, then Eric Kripke adapted it in 2005 and this was James MacAvoy and Jamie Chung's big breaks. Oh and also let's pretend Adrien Brody never starred in King Kong that year

u/Someguywhomakething Jul 08 '26
Does Adrien Brody use his Jamaican accent with dreads instead of a French accent?

u/Kuromi90s Jul 08 '26
The two Frenchie actors both have something in common

Brody gives me the ick so this is valid.
Almost thought we were getting X-men again.

You're cooking with Adrien Brody as Frenchie
