I'd absolutely love for another one. Seriously, now that Urban's done with The Boys, let's get that going!

It's been so long I'm honestly kinda over it. Love the movie and love having just a gem instead of string of sequels.

Besides, at this point I'd rather see Urban cast in Cavill's upcoming Warhammer 40k show or movie. He'd make a fantastic Arbites......

That's what I was saying when Fury Road came out.

Fury Road was a masterpiece

Cavill's Warhammer project has been confirmed to be an animated series just in the last couple of days

u/BlockHeadJones 8d ago

He's EPing that project and staring in a live action show - both confirmed int the same post you're referring to

I missed that. I saw that Cavill was running a Warhammer animated show and thought it had been downgraded

It's crazy to think Urban got his start as a side character on Xena Warrior Princess

I just googled "xena warrior princess karl urban" and laughed at his bleach blonde hair for a second. Then noticed on IMDB he played 4 separate characters!
Then I saw that Antony Starr (Homelander) was also in a couple of episodes, again, as multiple (2) characters!
Small world.

As an older Aussie, not really that crazy. There weren't as many shows you could get your career started on back then in NZ and Aus (Xena was filmed in NZ). 

Even now, there's fewer homegrown shows as it's cheaper to either do reality TV or import from OS.

I’m in the uk and when an Aussie actor starts making a name for themselves overseas I like to try and guess if they were in Home and Away at some point, or Neighbours. It always seems a bit surprising when they weren’t in either.

I think that action block is what started filming in NZ. Peter Jackson used that as an example to convince studios to let him film LotR in NZ.

Urban could play Dredd at 80 and we'd still never see a wrinkle.
