the series of The Boys: Diabolical has confirmed that the character of Hughie had another performer in the directors mind
the series of TheBoys It is one of the great successes of the Amazon Prime Video platform. This series based on the saga of comics written by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson became a project that has raised a fandom true to all products and to the word how many. Just over a month ago, Amazon premiered an animated series of The Boys: Diabolical. Series where we can see short stories in short chapters.
Obviously there were a lot of people I already knew TheBoys thanks to his comic since he was well known among the world of cartoon fans. Its plot is interesting because of the different point of view it offers, since the superheroes are really the villains of the stories.
Now, with the premiere of this new animated series, we have been able to know that the main idea that the creators had when interpreting Hughie It wasn’t Jack Quaid but Simon Pegg. This actor known for the films of Shaun of the Dead or fatal weapon He acknowledged that he was a big fan of the saga.
The series director acknowledged who considered the possibility that Pegg played the role of Hughie but that his age was much higher than that of the character and they had to discard him. Still, Simon played the role of the father of Hughie.
“When we were working on the Garth episode and we knew that he wanted to put Hughie in, we had a clear idea of who was going to do it. He had to be Simon Pegg, there was no other option.”
It seems that Hughie It could have been very different from what we saw. Who knows if in the next season we will be able to see Simon Pegg in some more plot.
