After Kojima revealed his intention to do a project similar to The Boys, producer Eric Kripke and star Antony Starr encouraged it.
The Boys is currently in the process of airing its third season, which introduces Jensen Acrum as Soldier Boy and continues the show’s tradition of violent imagery and superpower battles. The popularity of the film also continued to grow and even caught the eye of an important figure in the gaming industry.
Recently, game industry legend Hideo Kojima took to Twitter to discuss his thoughts on The Boys. Starting off by saying that he “stopped watching after 3 episodes of season 1”, Kojima then continued to watch the entire show that aired. Interestingly, Hideo Kojima said that the reason he dropped out after the first 3 episodes was because he had a project he had “incubated for a long time”, causing that project to have to be shelved. because its idea is similar to The Boys. To the excitement of the game community, there is now direct feedback from The Boys show producer and lead actor Antony Starr encouraging Kojima to pursue a live adaptation.
The Boys’ showrunner Eric Kripke responded to Kojima, saying they could “join and conquer!”.

At the moment, it has not been determined whether Hideo Kojima will actually cooperate with Kripke and Starr at their invitation.
Kripke and Starr wanted Kojima to adapt a The Boys game instead of simply working on his own project, so it was quite different from Kojima’s direction and design philosophy. If Kojima had the same idea in mind as well, it could mean that he would accept this partnership with Amazon and all involved to create a similar title but not The Game. Boys. Kojima’s own ideas seem so similar to The Boys that certain concepts can easily be substituted, such as the “context and tricks” that distinguish Kojima’s ideas from The Boys.
The concept of “special detective squads confronting legendary heroes behind the scenes” is still quite accurate for The Boys, although The Boys appear to be more messy and hysterical than the main characters of the series. Kojima. Kojima also noted that Mads Mikkelsen of the famous Death Stranding has been considered the main role in the title he intends to make, but it is unclear if Mads will play the same character role as Butcher or Homelander because of that game. had to be shelved.
