The Boys Creator Says Marvel Was “Hurt” By Asking Fans To Know All The Stories
In addition to Gen V, another spin-off of The Boys, The Boys: Mexico, is in the works. However, series creator Eric Kripke has warned fans that they should get comfortable–that show isn’t coming anytime soon. In the same interview, Kripke discussed how he believes Marvel did a disservice to itself by creating so many spin-offs that fans had to stay up to date with to understand the overarching story.
Kripke told Entertainment Weekly that The Boys: Mexico is still “a while away” from getting made. Specifically, the team is still putting together a deal with the show’s writer for the pilot. “He has an amazing pitch, and we all giggle and think about how fun it would be. But there are a lot of hurdles for that show before it’s a real show,” Kripke said.
He added, “He’s got to write an amazing pilot, he’s probably got to write an amazing episode 2. I think he can and he will, but we’re a while away from truly starting to drop in the Easter eggs and the setups and stuff.”
