This article contains spoilers for The Boys Season 2, Snowpiercer and Knives Out.
You can see the new deepfake, created for “shits n giggles” by Redditor d4danger, below…
“Chris Evans would do a good job no doubt but Antony Starr absolutely owns the role and is the standout performance in the show,” wrote another.
There was more irony to be found in the deepfake itself, however, after people made the connection to Stormfront’s denial of her Nazi connections in The Boys’ Season 2 finale. The racist supe at one point even claimed old images of her alongside her husband, Compound V geneticist Frederick Vought, were deepfakes.
“This is equal parts scary and amazing,” read one comment. “Scary in that some dude on Reddit just made a seamless and realistic actor swap. Now just imagine how Stormfront would use this to her own evil purposes.”
The show’s own take on Captain America – minus Chris Evans -will get underway in Season 3, with the introduction of Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy. You can read more about the direction that showrunner Eric Kripke and his team of writers are taking the character right here, but it’s safe to say we’re not done looking at Vought International’s murky past, nor its ties to the Nazis in WWII. Aya Cash’s Stormfront was just a small piece of that puzzle, and Soldier Boy’s story will help the series examine more of America’s turbulent history.
