This article contains spoilers for The Boys Season 2, Snowpiercer and Knives Out.
A new deepfake that shows us what Chris Evans would look like as Homelander over on Amazon’s smash hit series The Boys has prompted a discussion online about whether the Captain America star would be able to nail the villainous role or not.
Evans, who played Steve Rogers across three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has certainly been no stranger to playing against type in the past. Last year, we saw him as the murderous Ransom Drysdale in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, and he was almost unrecognisable as a mob hitman in 2012’s underrated crime drama, The Iceman, opposite Michael Shannon. And, hey, let’s take a beat to remember the man was a literal baby-eater in Snowpiercer, but when it comes to The Boys’ ultraviolent Homelander, the internet isn’t quite sure if Evans could pull it off.
