This tutorial provides instructions to install Homelander Kodi addon. The steps in the guide work on any device that supports Kodi. You can install the addon on FireStick (all versions), Android TV devices, Android boxes, Computers (Linux, Windows, & macOS), Mobiles (Android & iOS), and more.
What Is Homelander?
Homelander is a streaming service that lets you watch movies, shows, and other on-demand videos. It is a third-party addon, and you can download it from the popular Crew repository. This repository is also known for the very popular addon called The Crew.
Homelander has a straightforward interface with familiar categories, such as Movies and TV Shows. You can browse the categories to find the films or series. You can also use the Search function to look up your favorite videos. Homelander is currently one of the best addons to watch on-demand content.
Attention KODI Users: Read before you continue
Government and ISPs endlessly monitor your online activities using your IP address 2a02:598:64:8a00::3100:7 (exposed to everyone). Kodi is an excellent platform for streaming movies, TV shows, and sports, but streaming copyrighted content can get you into legal trouble.
You should use a reliable Kodi VPN and protect your streaming activities and privacy. A VPN will hide your IP address and bypass government surveillance and geo-restrictions.
I trust and use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure Kodi VPN. It's easy to install on any Kodi device, including Amazon FireStick, PCs, and Smartphones. In addition, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and 3 free months with the annual plan.

Is Homelander Safe?
Homelander is hosted on a third-party repository called The Crew Repo. But it seems to be safe.
The addon hasn’t caused any trouble on my device. Furthermore, I scanned the addon repository using Virus Total (a reputable online antivirus tool). As you see in the image below, the antivirus did not flag the Crew Repo as malicious.
Is Homelander Legal?
FireStickHow cannot confirm whether the addon is legal or not. Third-party addons like Homelander are known to get video streaming links from unverified providers. We cannot investigate each provider individually and determine if they obtained the distribution rights.
If you are worried about legal hassles, please stick to watching videos in the public domain. I also recommend you use ExpressVPN with Homelander and other third-party addons to hide your online identity.
