“Hey it’s Jack Quaid,”says Quaid at the start of the trailer ofNovocaine.However, it feels more like Hughie fromThe Boysand less like Quaid fromNovocaineas the trailer progresses.
It seems that Hughie’s character took Comp V in The Boys and was accidentally transported into an alternate timeline where he could not feel any pain. That’s not the whole premise of the movie, though. The whole premise… is just a little less than that.
