Tom Austen And Sydney Lemmon On Marvel, The Future Of Helstrom, And More

If given the opportunity, which Marvel Cinematic Universe characters would you love to see the Helstrom siblings interact with onscreen?

Sydney Lemmon: We are not actually part of the MCU. Helstrom is not actually a part of the MCU.

So, it's officially been broken off? Because initially, it was going to be, right? Or kind of MCU adjacent? 

Sydney Lemmon: So we certainly have our origins in the comics, and no matter what, Helstrom will always be a Marvel comic, but our show has taken on a life of its own.

While on the comic book theme, Tom you voiced the Tim Drake Robin in Batman: Arkham VR. Are there any other comic characters that you would love to play in that universe, or this one, or any other?

Tom Austen: I've always loved the X-Men comics, I've always loved them, and I love that when you watch the movies, there are characters who all appear with these abilities for just maybe one or two scenes and you never see them again. I feel like that world, for me, is so vast and so huge, and it's so limitless what characters can do in that, that I feel like it would be awesome to be involved in something like that. But I think they've probably done them all now, haven't they?

Well with the X-Men characters they're starting over since they've been absorbed by Disney.

Tom Austen: Right. Perfect. Bring them in.

How optimistic are you that we might see a Helstrom season two, in some shape or form?

Tom Austen: Very.

Sydney Lemmon: Absolutely optimistic. We are excited for our show to get out there in the world and hope that it's loved. And we've poured our heart and soul into it.

Helstrom is now streaming on Hulu.
