Mortal Kombat 1’s Homelander Will Not Be Voiced by Antony Starr
Fans Express Disappointment
In a direct response to a fan's query on his Instagram account, Antony Starr succinctly stated "nope" when asked if he would voice Homelander in Mortal Kombat 1. This revelation came after the game's announcement of its upcoming DLC characters, which included Homelander, sparking excitement among fans.
Starr's portrayal of Homelander in "The Boys" has been widely acclaimed, contributing significantly to the show's success. This success has even led to a spin-off, "GenV," featuring a cameo by Homelander. The anticipation for Starr's voice in Mortal Kombat 1 was high, especially after he shared behind-the-scenes footage on Instagram on November 12, 2023. The fan's question and Starr's brief response left many fans disappointed, as they had hoped to experience his iconic voice in the game.

Speculations and Theories About Antony Starr's Role
This news marks a significant departure from the tradition of Mortal Kombat games, which often feature the original actors reprising their roles. For instance, the recently released character Omni-Man in the game is voiced by J.K. Simmons, who originally voiced the character in the "Invincible" series. This precedent led many to expect the same for Homelander and Starr.
Speculation among fans is rife. Some believe Starr might be misleading fans, embodying Homelander's deceptive nature. Others suggest he might be bound by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that prevent him from confirming his involvement. There's also a theory that Starr might have simply grown tired of the constant inquiries and provided a definitive "nope" to put an end to them.
Adding to the speculation, fans note that Starr has previously voiced Homelander in a Call of Duty collaboration in July, suggesting his willingness to engage in video game voice acting. This history fuels the suspicion that he might yet be involved in Mortal Kombat 1.
As the gaming community awaits further developments, the truth behind Starr's involvement—or lack thereof—remains to be seen. We eagerly anticipate more news on Homelander's role in Mortal Kombat 1.
