Show details
'The Boys: Mexico' will leave room for crossover characters
Set in Mexico, The Boys: Mexico is being written by Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer and executive produced by Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal. The show will take place after the events of The Boys finale, leaving room for crossover characters from the flagship show. Kripke said, "Gareth, who is the writer, is so smart and good. He'll do, I'm sure, another draft." "But it feels like...who the hell knows? You can never predict this stuff, but we're hopeful."
Franchise expansion
Kripke opens up about potential expansion of 'The Boys' universe
Kripke also spoke about the future of The Boys universe and hinted at its potential expansion. "The main thing about the VCU, as we call it, is the tone is the brand." "I don't think the shows have to be all that connected." "It's really irreverent, and as long as we can maintain that irreverent, shocking, fun, emotional tone, then I'm open to any story in that universe, as long as it clears a particular bar of quality."
