Homelander Gets a New Voice in The Boys VR Game and Mortal Kombat 1
The Boys: Trigger Warning, a VR stealth-action title, features Jake Green as Homelander rather than Antony Starr. Fans on Reddit praised Green's take on the character, and he also voiced Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1. The recasting occurred in a video game after the Prime Video series concluded.
Jake Green, whose credits span animation and games, portrayed Homelander in The Boys: Trigger Warning, a VR stealth-action release set in the Prime Video show's world. The game arrived earlier this year with limited attention, yet some viewers noted that several series actors returned to voice their roles. Green also handled Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1.
Reddit commenters welcomed his performance, highlighting his mannerisms and overall impression while acknowledging that certain lines felt uneven. The main series concluded after five seasons. Two related shows are in the works: The Boys: Mexico is awaiting a full greenlight, and Vought Rising, a 1950s prequel with Soldier Boy and Stormfront, is set for Prime Video in 2027.
This recasting may matter most to fans who associate Homelander with Antony Starr, as a different voice in games could initially feel jarring. It could also give Jake Green greater visibility in interactive entertainment and signal that game adaptations can continue a character's life after a live-action series ends. For players, the change may be a minor curiosity unless they closely follow casting; for the industry, it highlights voice performance as a key part of franchise continuity.
