The former Angel and Buffy star was discussing his TV career at New York Comic Con today when the topic of the Monica Owusu-Breen-led Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot came up, which was met with booing. “Come on, guys, it’s a good thing,” he told the crowd. “Let’s just embrace (it). I’m very happy for them. They want to embrace a new generation, something new. … Everybody wants old, they want to go back, which I can understand. You want to see us back in these roles. It’s great, it’s cool, (but) things move on, stories evolve, times change. I think it’s a great opportunity for a reboot like this to show where we are with society now, what you can do with technology. How you can explore those relationships with the same kinds of metaphors. I’m all for it. I think it’s fantastic. Good for them. I hope that it becomes huge and successful, and does what it does.” Boreanaz also gave his blessing if another actor took on the role of Angel.
