Sterling K. Brown Passes on 'The Boys' Villain Role

Sterling K. Brown revealed that he turned down a major villain role in the hit series The Boys, which was intended to span a full season. Despite his enthusiasm for the part and the chance to reunite with showrunner Eric Kripke, his commitment to filming in Toronto was a deciding factor in his decision. Brown expressed regret over the decision but acknowledged it as a 'champagne problem' due to his fortunate position of being able to choose projects selectively. While the specific character he was to portray remains undisclosed, speculation suggests it might have been the role of Joe Kessler. Brown, who previously ventured into comic book adaptations with Black Panther, continues to express interest in returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and has expressed a desire to play the superhero John Stewart, also known as Green Lantern, in the DC Universe.
