Superhero fans are in for a treat. The creator of Prime Video's hit series "The Boys" is planning to develop the show's wider universe in a similar way to Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU). The next step in that direction will be a spinoff about a superhero university. So will "The Boys" become the new MCU of Prime Video?
The third season of "The Boys" ended on July 8, 2022 on Prime Video—scoring success both on the platform and on social media. So much so that the show's creator, Eric Kripke, has already announced plans for a spinoff series.
"Because both of those guys graduated from Good Oak, which is the name of the school [in the spinoff], and Brink is a reference to the big superhero trainer at that school who is a character in the spinoff," Eric Kripke told Variety.
Various actors have already been announced on the cast, such as Jaz Sinclair and Patrick Schwarzenegger, who described the project as a kind of mash-up between the "Euphoria" show and superheroes—a description somewhat qualified by the creator of "The Boys." "It's about kids who are complicated psychologically getting into trouble. So in that way, it's like 'Euphoria.' I don't know if it's quite as dark, frankly, as 'Euphoria.' 'Euphoria' manages to be darker than 'The Boys' cinematic universe. They're not shooting up heroin in the hallways of their school, I would say, for example. But hopefully we're capturing something real about what it's like to be a kid in this oversaturated media landscape we all live in," said Eric Kripke quoted by Variety.
