Antony Starr, renowned for his role as the antagonist in "The Boys," has confirmed that he will not be lending his voice to the character of Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1. Dive in to discover his response and the fans' reactions to this news.

Mortal Kombat 1’s Homelander Will Not Be Voiced by Antony Starr

On his Instagram, Antony Starr directly addressed a fan's inquiry about voicing Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1 with a simple "nope."

The excitement among fans was palpable when Mortal Kombat 1 announced Homelander as part of its upcoming DLC characters. Starr's portrayal of the character in the satirical superhero series "The Boys" has been critically acclaimed, contributing significantly to the show's success. This led to the creation of the spin-off "GenV," where Homelander makes a cameo appearance.

Starr shared behind-the-scenes footage from the show on his Instagram on November 12, 2023, prompting a fan to ask if he would voice Homelander in the game. His casual "nope" response quickly spread disappointment among fans who had hoped to hear his distinctive voice in Mortal Kombat 1.

The fans' disappointment reflects the high regard they hold for Starr's performance as the villainous Homelander.

Speculations Surrounding Antony Starr

This news marks a departure from the Mortal Kombat series' tradition of featuring the original voice actors for guest characters. For instance, J.K. Simmons, who voiced Omni-Man in the "Invincible" series, reprised his role in Mortal Kombat 1, leading fans to expect the same for Homelander and Starr.

Speculation abounds that Starr might be misleading fans, possibly channeling Homelander's deceptive nature. Some believe he might be under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that prevents him from confirming his involvement. Others suggest that Starr might have grown weary of the constant inquiries and provided a definitive answer to put the speculation to rest.

Moreover, fans highlight that Starr has previously voiced Homelander in a Call of Duty collaboration, indicating his willingness to engage in video game voice acting. This experience fuels speculation that he might yet surprise fans by joining Mortal Kombat 1.

As we await further developments, the gaming community remains eager for more news on Homelander's role in Mortal Kombat 1.
