Antony Starr has earned quite a reputation after his work in one of the best action series of the moment. The actor is in charge of playing The Patriot in the series The Boys, but that has not prevented him from being the source of rumors to join a role as a superhero in Marvel or DC. Now, the actor involved in the Amazon Prime Video series has addressed claims suggesting that he had been chosen to play the title character in the Booster Gold series as part of the DCEU reboot.
Antony Starr addresses rumors about his possible entry into the DCEU led by James Gunn
As a result of his participation in The Boys, Antony Starr has become one of the most popular names in the industry. Recently, the star was involved in rumors indicating his possible involvement in upcoming DCEU productions, and it wasn't long before he was asked about this issue. In an interview with ComicBook, Antony Starr was asked about the rumors surrounding the casting of Booster Gold. This is what he said:
James Gunn and I just played golf. I can't wait to see what he does with the DCEU. I think he is a very talented director and producer. He's one of the biggest brands in the industry today, so I'm excited to see what he cooks up.
Throughout three intrepid seasons, Antony Starr has shown why he is one of the best actors to ever appear in a franchise linked to the superhero genre. His performance goes a long way toward making The Patriot truly terrifying as a sadistic and ruthless Superman. That type of talent could prove to be the right fit in a reboot of the DCEU led by the former director of the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
Antony Starr has also been a top candidate among viewers to play the role of Reverse-Flash. As The Flash series starring Grant Gustin showed, Reverse-Flash was a villain who could have a lot of potential. The character could even be a Justice League villain, as was director Zack Snyder's original plan for the DCEU. For this reason, Antony Starr's intimidating personality as The Patriot would translate well to the form of Reverse-Flash.
As far as heroes that are part of the DC Universe go, Antony Starr's best possible role is probably the one he's rumored for: Booster Gold. Even so, Booster Gold would represent another acting challenge for the actor, especially because the character would dispense with the sinister nuances that characterize the villain of The Boys. It has not yet been revealed who will lead the Booster Gold series in the future.
