    Actor and writer Will Charlton on two plays, Jumper and The Boys

    Our guest on our Runn Radio show this week was Will Charlton. Will is both an actor and writer, so there was plenty to chat about. He is currently preparing to play in Joshua King‘s Jumper at Lion and Unicorn Theatre, and straight after that, he is then gearing up for his own play, The Boys, to make its debut at New Wimbledon Theatre’s Studio space.

    Jumper is set across two time frames five years apart, both on the night’s of elections. And in the first, he is stuck on the underground with a host of other passengers. Whilst The Boys is about struggling to pay the rent and considering the option of becoming a male escort. Both gave us plenty to talk about.

    Jumper plays at Lion and Unicorn between 5 and 9 April. More information and bookings here. More

      AceShowbiz – A new spin-off series based on Amazon’s original series “The Boys” is set to hit the platform.
      The superhero TV series, which follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities, quickly became Amazon Prime Video’s most successful original series when it debuted last year (19).
      While its second season, starring Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, and Erin Moriarty, is currently airing, a new project which takes place in superhero college is currently in the works.

      According to Deadline, the new show will be written by “The Boys” executive producer Craig Rosenberg and is described as an “irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities.”
      Further details of the show remain under wraps.
      “The Boys” is based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The upcoming season 3 is expected to have “Supernatural” star Jensen Ackles as a new addition to the cast. He will play World War II veteran Soldier Boy, a character described as “the original superhero,” who became “the first super celebrity, and a mainstay of American culture for decades.”
      The role will reunite Ackles with “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke. “When I was a child, I had a crazy, impossible dream – to provide Jensen Ackles with gainful employment. I’m happy to say that dream has come true,” Kripke quipped.

      The ‘Supernatural’ star, who is preparing to film the last few episodes of his fantasy series’ final season, has been added to the cast of the Amazon show as World War II veteran Soldier Boy.
      Aug 18, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Supernatural” star Jensen Ackles is leaving the monster hunting behind to portray a superhero on hit series “The Boys”.
      The actor has been added to the cast of the Amazon show for season three, in which he will play World War II veteran Soldier Boy, a character described as “the original superhero,” who became “the first super celebrity, and a mainstay of American culture for decades.”
      The role will reunite Ackles with “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke, who adapted “The Boys” from the comic book of the same name, and serves as showrunner and executive producer.
      Joking about Ackles’ casting in a statement, Kripke quips, “When I was a child, I had a crazy, impossible dream – to provide Jensen Ackles with gainful employment. I’m happy to say that dream has come true.”
      “Jensen is an amazing actor, an even better person, smells like warm chocolate chip cookies, and I consider him a brother.”
      “As Soldier Boy, the very first Superhero, he’ll bring so much humor, pathos, and danger to the role. I can’t wait to be on set with him again, and bring a bit of ‘Supernatural’ to ‘The Boys’.”
      Ackles is currently preparing to film the last few episodes of “Supernatural” 15th and final season, which were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

      A production date for season three of “The Boys”, which stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid and Chace Crawford, has yet to be revealed, but the casting news emerges ahead of the second season premiere on 4 September.
