- Hello?
- Oh my God, hi.
My nana is your biggest fan.
I'm Stormfront.
- Great.
- All right, Yeah, from Seattle, right?
- Ah, (laughs) Portland actually.
- Stormfront seems like a particularly
like 2020 superhero.
Like she's, she's
breaking that fourth wall,
she's on social media.
I kind of think of like,
Homelander as like the
classic American hero
and she's like the new American hero.
- Yeah.
I mean, I think that she,
she definitely is that,
that sort of current
YouTube, (laughs) Tiktok,
new media star influencer.
And, and so she brings that energy,
but she also, to say, that's
all she is is, is a lie.
And, and her agenda for
being a part of The Seven,
and being in Vought will be
revealed throughout the season.
I can't really explain why,
but she's a villain.
And I don't think you would assume that
from the first episode or two.
So you're gonna see her
turn in her dark side.
(chuckling)
- Homelander is an interesting animal.
I guess animal's a hard way to put it,
but he's an extremely
interesting and fucked up guy.
Are we ever gonna see the full
development of Homelander?
- We're not gonna see that in season two,
I can safely say that.
As for down the track, I don't know.
I'd be interested in that.
Like you said, I think Homelander is,
you know, a little bit
emotionally like Peter Pan,
you know, the emotions got cut
off somewhere very early on
as the body kept growing.
And I think that leaves you
with the quote unquote animal
that you have before you.
- More super terrorists will come.
(crowd cheering)
For all we know these maniacs
waiting for their chance
to kill us all.
(crowd cheering)
- Because you're from New Zealand Anthony,
does it give you a
better sense of distance
when you're playing
this like super awful
American hero (laughs)?
- I think there's something that happens
when you're away from home.
But I think, I think rather than it being,
I mean, I've been away
from New Zealand for,
for over a decade.
So, not so much that, but you know,
I'm based in LA now
and everyone, almost everyone
except for one or two
on the show is coming
from somewhere else.
And we're all, it's like band camp,
you know, we all go to
Toronto to shoot this thing,
and I think that pulls everyone together
in a way that we would
not be pulled together
if we were shooting at our homes.
And I think we're more reliant
on each other socially,
and it tightens the
fabric of the whole thing.
And I think there's less distraction
and there's a little more purpose driven,
it's a very focused energy on set.
And I think that's reflective of everyone
being away from home.
- In my mind I imagine you and Karl,
like going in on shipping
for like a box of candy
from New Zealand or whatever,
do you know what I mean?
Like you can split it and
then like divide it up.
Like, "oh, we can order more that way."
Does that happen?
- That has not happened yet.
But I do, I did, I literally two days ago
I got a care package from home,
and I have, there's a
snack called twisties
and I am going to save a pack
and take it to Karl next time.
Well, maybe I won't because God
who knows what we'll film season three
and I'll see him again.
Because right now he's down
in Hubbardton, New Zealand
completely Covid free,
and we still battling
it out in the States.
So, but I do have a pack
of twisties for him.
- Now, don't be a pussy,
laser my fucking tits.
