‘The Boys’ spin-off ‘Gen V’ will be a “strange” parody of Marvel’s X-Men

With the end of the third season of “The Boys”, the creator of the Amazon Prime Video superhero series, Eric Kripke, has begun to reveal the details of his second spin-off, called “Gen V”, which, in addition to mixing a college series with “The Hunger Games” will also be a parody of Marvel’s X-Men.

At no time did “The Boys” series hide its references to Marvel or DC Comics, although, in the third season of the Amazon Prime Video series, they introduced Soldier Boy, which is basically a parody of Chris Evans’ Captain America. And with “Gen V” they mean to keep making fun of superhero movies.

The second spin-off, after ‘Diabolical’, is’Gen V.’, of which it has been confirmed that there will be some crossovers with the main series, and which, moreover, will be a bridge between the third and fourth seasons of “The Boys”. During an interview for The casingthe spin-off writer has confessed that the G-Men, a bunch of villains, will be making an appearance from the comics.

I would say it’s vaguely inspired by an element of the comics, which is the G-Men. Part of the G-Men is that there is a kind of educational college experience. “

However, the series of ‘Gen V.’ it will be something like ‘The boys’, in the sense that it won’t always be a parody, as the writer confirms: “We just use it as a starting point, something like’ The Boys’, where we take an initial idea and then follow it in our own direction. Weird. “.

What is known so far about “Gen V”, the spin-off of “The Boys”?

Previously it was said that ‘Gen V.’ It will be a mix between ‘The hunger games’ with a university series in the style of ‘Euphoria’, although it won’t be as dark as the series starring Zendaya, and instead will have “a bunch of psychologically complicated kids who are constantly getting into trouble,” as Eric Kripke pointed out.

The cast of the “The Boys” spin-off will include brand new actors and actresses on the show, including Patrick Schwarzenegger, Chance Perdomo, as well as Sean Patrick, Landon Thor, Marco Pigossi, Lizzie Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, Derek Luh, Asa Germann and Jaz Sinclair.

There is currently no release date for ‘Gen V’ on the Amazon Prime Video platform, but it is expected that now that filming has begun, it will arrive at some point in the next year 2023, and perhaps a few months before the fourth season of ‘ The Boys’, as anticipated by the creator.
