Patrick Schwarzenegger stars in The Boys Presents: Varsity, the upcoming spin-off of The Boys. A role that a priori worried his dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was left baffled to say the least when his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, showed him photos from the set of The Boys Presents: Varsity, the upcoming spin-off of The Boys. Based on the comics by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys quickly carved out a sulphurous reputation by becoming one of the most popular superhero series of the moment. Dark humor and gore, being his trademark.
With such success, logically, Amazon decided to expand the universe of The Boys and make it a franchise. A first animated spin-off, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, was released last March. Varsity, on the other hand, will be live-action. The series is currently filming and will introduce a new group of superheroes.
During an interview for variety for his new series The Staircase, Patrick Schwarzenegger also talked about Varsity. Although he hasn’t confirmed that he’s playing a character named Golden Boy, the actor admitted to showing photos from the set to his father and took the opportunity to share his reaction.
He looked at me and he said to me: “What are you doing, bo**el?” And I replied: “It’s this series called The Boys… You have to watch an episode to understand, otherwise I can’t explain what’s going on.
Given The Boys’ reputation for sex and violence, it’s not hard to imagine why Arnold must have had his eyes widened when he saw the photos shared by his son, especially if he didn’t. never seen the series. We can also assume that Varsity will perhaps go up a notch at this level.
Indeed, the series will focus on a group of young adults at the superhero college of Vought whose physical, sexual and moral limits will be severely tested. Suffice to say, it’s going to be madness!
