"The Boys" is one of the biggest television shows on Prime Video, but it was originally planned as a film trilogy from director Adam McKay.
“ The Boys ” co-creator and illustrator Darick Robertson recently confirmed to Rolling Stone that an early attempt to bring the comic book series to life on screen was in a film trilogy from director Adam McKay. As reported by Rolling Stone: “Sony did buy the rights to the property, which went through a series of incarnations over a decade before ending up back in the hands of Rogen, Goldberg, and Kripke.
