Antony Starr Says He’s Not Voicing Homelander for ‘Mortal Kombat 1′
With Homelander set to arrive Mortal Kombat 1 this Spring on the heels of the arrival of guest fighter Omni-Man last week, fans have been wondering if actor Antony Starr will be voicing The Boys‘ villain. Seeing as J. K. Simmons reprised his role as Omni-Man, it would only make sense, right? Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that way.
X user Uppercut Editions, LLC. noted that per Starr’s Instagram, the actor was asked if he was lending his voice for Homelander for Mortal Kombat 1, to which Starr said “nope”.
Needless to say, this is disappointing for fans hoping to hear Starr spit out some cold one-liners against Simmons, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and the rest of the Mortal Kombat 1 roster. What’s even more frustrating is that Starr lent his voice to Homelander when he made his appearance in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 earlier this year.
Starr didn’t elaborate on why he won’t be voicing Homelander for the Kombat Pack, so we’re all left to speculate on the reasoning behind his omission. It’s also not known who will be voicing Homelander in place of Starr.
Of course, it could all be one big ruse (this is Ed Boon, after all), but unlike Simmons and Omni-Man, NetherRealm hasn’t made it a point to mention of Starr’s involvement with Homelander as of yet. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Mortal Kombat 1 is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
WB Games and Rocksteady didn’t exactly have the best result with Batman: Arkham VR, but publisher Oculus Studios and developer Camouflaj (who worked on Marvel’s Iron Man VR) are looking to give it a go with Batman: Arkham Shadow for the Meta Quest 3.
Launching “late 2024“, there’s not much info on the game at the moment, though via the Summer Game Fest X account, we’ll be seeing more from Arkham Shadow when Summer Game Fest rolls around on June 7. The announcement trailer for Batman: Arkham Shadow does provide a little teaser with its description, stating “Gotham City is in danger. And you’re the only one who can save it.”.
