According to Comicbook, Pegg along with Rosemary Dewitt has been confirmed to play Hughie's parents in the show. Pegg portrays Hugh Campbell, the single father of Hughie Campbell, and has appeared on the show before on a video call with Hughie. But this will be the first appearance of Dewitt's character in the show. In his recent Instagram Post, Pegg posted a picture of his trailer and revealed that he had done filming all his scenes on the show and noted his fun time on set. He even teased the upcoming season to be insane.
"That’s a wrap for me on this season of @theboystv. More fun than a Compound V enema. So proud to be part of this incredible show. Will miss everyone. Season 4 is going to be INSANE!!! 🦸🏼♂️" read the caption to his post. Pegg himself seems thrilled to be playing "Hugh Sr." as the closeup photo post of his character card implies.
It is to be noted that the character Hughie in the comics was based on Pegg himself. So Pegg's inclusion in the series has opened up a great character arc opportunity. Given more screen time, we will get to know a lot about his character's past relationship with Hughie's mother and even pose questions about his involvement and his take on his son's often gruesome vigilante work.
You can rewatch the first three seasons of 'The Boys,' available on Amazon Prime Video.
