Fans Are Disappointed At The News

The anticipation was high when Mortal Kombat 1 announced its DLC characters, including Homelander. Fans of "The Boys" were thrilled at the prospect of Starr reprising his role, given his acclaimed performance and the character's significant contribution to the series' success. The popularity of "The Boys" led to the creation of a spin-off, "GenV," featuring a cameo by Homelander.

On November 12, 2023, Starr shared behind-the-scenes footage on Instagram, prompting a fan to inquire about his involvement in Mortal Kombat 1. Starr's response was a straightforward "nope," leaving fans disheartened, as they had hoped to hear his iconic voice in the game.

Speculations Surrounding Antony Starr

This decision marks a notable departure from the Mortal Kombat series' tradition of featuring original voice actors. For instance, J.K. Simmons reprised his role as Omni-Man from the "Invincible" series, leading fans to expect the same for Homelander.

Speculation abounds among fans. Some believe Starr might be misleading them, channeling Homelander's deceptive nature. Others think he may be bound by non-disclosure agreements and unable to confirm his involvement. There's also a theory that he might have grown tired of constant inquiries and gave a definitive answer to put an end to the speculation.

Moreover, fans point out that Starr has previously voiced Homelander in a Call of Duty collaboration, suggesting that his experience in video game voice acting could still lead to his participation in Mortal Kombat 1.

As the community awaits further updates, the question of whether Starr will indeed voice Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1 remains open. Only time will reveal the truth, and fans continue to hope for more news on this front.
