Okay, so that whole theory about Homelander and Butcher sharing a kiss? It’s been buzzing around the fandom for a while, and it seems like the cast of The Boys is still getting asked about it! Recently, Antony Starr – who plays Homelander – finally addressed it, and honestly, his reaction was perfect. He seemed totally baffled, a little bit entertained, and it just felt very… The Boys, you know? It totally fit the show’s vibe.
Antony Starr on if Homelander and Butcher should kiss for a happy ending
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Antony Starr was asked about a popular fan theory suggesting a romantic connection between his character, Homelander, and Billy Butcher. The interviewer playfully mentioned a potential “happy ending” for the pair, which visibly surprised Starr, who asked where the idea originated. The interviewers, Nathan and Valerie, then elaborated on the theory, jokingly suggesting the characters could even become friends. Starr responded with amusement and disbelief, questioning why the press was focusing on this idea, noting it was the second time the topic had been brought up.
When asked if his character, Homelander, could ever find redemption, Antony Starr admitted it would be difficult, but didn’t rule it out completely. He compared Homelander to the shark in Jaws, explaining that the character’s core nature likely won’t change. Starr hinted that a path to redemption for Homelander would be a significant hurdle.
This fits perfectly with the way the show has developed. Homelander doesn’t appear to be a character who will suddenly change for the better, and a romantic resolution between him and Butcher seems unlikely.
With Season 5 of The Boys premiering on April 8th, the situation is more dangerous than ever. Homelander is incredibly powerful, and Butcher’s team is broken apart and trying to come back together. The show’s stars, including Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, and Jensen Ackles, will return for this final season.
