Homelander Actor’s Wild Action Thriller Soars On Streaming After The Boys Season 5 Premiere

by

With the recent premiere of season five of The Boys, another movie featuring one of the show’s lead actors is now topping streaming charts.

The popular series The Boys, based on the comic books of the same name, started in 2019 and features a world full of superheroes and villains. As the show has progressed, it’s increasingly reflected current events and political issues. The fifth and final season premiered this week on April 8th.

While many of the actors in The Boys had previous acting experience, the Prime Video series has become their most well-known work. This is true for lead stars like Anthony Starr and Karl Urban, who play the characters Homelander and Billy Butcher. The cast also includes Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, and Chase Crawford.

Starr’s new action movie, , is quickly becoming popular on streaming platforms. FlixPatrol data shows it’s currently the 6th most-watched film globally on HBO Max. The movie is especially successful in Europe, topping the charts in 14 countries like Romania, Poland, Serbia, and Croatia.

Currently, the movie G20 isn’t available on HBO Max in the U.S., which means U.S. viewership doesn’t factor into its streaming success. In the United States, G20 is exclusively available on Prime Video for subscribers.

G20 is an upcoming action thriller starring Viola Davis as Danielle Sutton, the President of the United States. The movie centers on President Sutton as she fights to save the G20 summit – and the world – after a terrorist takeover, utilizing skills from her military background.

In the movie G20, Starr plays Edward Rutledge, the antagonist—a former member of Australian Special Forces who leads a team attempting to infiltrate the summit. Davis’ character is tasked with stopping Rutledge and his team. The cast also includes Anthony Anderson, Marsai Martin, and Douglas Hodge.

The popularity of the G20 summit has likely been boosted by the recent release of season 5 of The Boys, particularly among viewers eager to see Antony Starr’s performance. The show has delved deeper into the villainous side of his character, Homelander, showcasing Starr’s ability to play truly evil roles.

Both G20 and The Boys share a strong political element. Both stories include presidents dealing with challenges to their power, which is something fans of The Boys, and Starr’s work in general, will likely enjoy in G20 as well. This political and action-packed aspect is a key appeal for viewers.
