Jake Green Replaces Antony Starr in Homelander Recast for Trigger Warning

Jake Green handles the Homelander recast in Trigger Warning, with Prime Video using him instead of Antony Starr in the VR game. The shift lands in a release already available on Meta Quest and PlayStation VR, so the change is baked into a project players can open now.

Trigger Warning on Meta Quest

Prime Video released Trigger Warning earlier this year, and the game is built as an original story inside the world of The Boys. That gives the recast practical weight: Homelander is not a side role in the franchise, but one of its central characters, and his voice now comes from Green in the new release.

Trigger Warning also fits seamlessly into the existing canon, which is the real reason the casting swap stands out. A game that is meant to sit inside the same timeline and tone as the show is not just borrowing the name; it is extending the franchise’s identity into VR, where voice work carries more of the character than in a live-action cutaway.

Jake Green and Soldier Boy

Green is not a one-off cast pickup. He has also worked on Marvel’s Wolverine, Young Jedi Adventures, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and that kind of voice-acting range is the cleanest explanation for why he could step into Homelander for a game release built around performance rather than on-camera likeness.

Jensen Ackles appears in Trigger Warning as Soldier Boy, and Laz Alonso appears as Mother's Milk. Several original stars from the first five seasons of The Boys show up in the game as well, which keeps Trigger Warning tied to the franchise’s core cast even as the Homelander voice changes.

The Boys after five seasons

The Boys first arrived on streaming in 2019, and Prime Video has already turned it into one of its most successful shows over the last 5-10 years. Earlier this year, the fifth and final season hit streaming, so Trigger Warning is arriving while the franchise is still active and expanding instead of fading into legacy status.

That timing makes the recast harder to read as a simple substitution. Antony Starr remains the established Homelander in The Boys, but Jake Green voices the same character in Trigger Warning, which gives the game its own audio identity inside the franchise. For players, the takeaway is straightforward: if you want the VR version of Homelander, Green is the voice you hear in this release.
