Fans poke fun at MCU as Antony Starr rejects the possibility of role

Fans have been speculating for years about Antony Starr trading laser eyes for a Marvel deal, picturing him causing chaos in the MCU with that infamous Homelander smirk. But Antony Starr blew those superhero aspirations to smithereens quicker than you could say "multiverse."

In a recent X post by Austin Medeiros, when asked if he'd ever be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Antony Starr had no hesitation:

"Nah, I'm a little too old for that."

Before you could blink, your go-to Antony Starr MCU fan cast was snapped out of being — Thanos style. One thing's certain: The Marvel Universe might be large, but Antony Starr's not getting into costume anytime soon. As soon as the news came out someone took to his X account and commented:

"Even Homelander knows Marvel has become a kids product"

Of course, the internet didn't miss. It went viral quicker than a Marvel post-credit scene, with fans agreeing in unison like they just binged through Phase Four.

Starr's MCU snub had fans arguing if the Marvel Cinematic Universe has moved from gritty to kiddie, and frankly? Homelander would not survive five minutes without being arrested by Mickey Mouse.

Of course, when Starr's MCU quote reached the timeline, fans on X did what they do best — overthink, meme, and completely lose their minds. The Marvel Cinematic Universe discourse was totally in meltdown mode, with hot takes going down as fast as Homelander on a bad day.

From snarky memes to deep superhero philosophy, the fan reactions were straight-up internet madness — and honestly, more fun than half of Phase Four.
