It looks like one of the key characters in The Boys has undergone a recasting and that this has gone unnoticed by the majority of fans. But let’s take a step back.
The beloved Prime Video show has retained the same cast throughout its four seasons so far. Yet, not many people remember that in 2020, when the second season debuted, one of the characters had a very different face compared to previous episodes.
Ryan Butcher, son of Homelander and Becca Butcher, was originally played by Parker Horn. This first appeared in the cliffhanger that closes the first season, during which Butcher discovers that his wife Becca is alive and that she has given birth to Homelander’s child.
Il narrative weight Ryan’s legacy has grown as the seasons have progressed, with Butcher and Homelander competing for the affection and “control” of the boy destined to become one of the most powerful Supes ever. However, the character is now played by the sixteen-year-old Cameron Crovettian actor who at first glance seems to have very little in common with the Homelander. However, many fans have noticed a greater resemblance to Becca Butcher.
A change in the cast that went completely unnoticed at the time, and about which no information was ever released. official motivation. In any case, it is quite likely that Crovetti, having more acting experience than Corno, was considered more capable of handling a role destined to become increasingly relevant over time.
We remind you that the first five episodes of the fourth season of The Boys are currently available for streaming exclusively on Prime Video.
