The Boys Season 4 Trailer Teases The Comics' Ultimate Villain

The trailer for Season 4 of "The Boys" hints at a significant escalation in the storyline, with Homelander transforming the Seven into aggressive deities and aligning with supe-politician Victoria Neuman. The plot seems to be building towards a dramatic conflict similar to the comics, where Homelander attempts a government coup and Billy Butcher seeks revenge for his wife's death using extreme measures.

Butcher's character may take a dark turn, as hinted by his terminal illness and discovery of a supe-killing virus. This could align with the comic's narrative where Butcher becomes the final antagonist. The show, known for its deviations from the comic, might explore new thematic paths, especially with Butcher's complex relationships and the evolving dynamics with characters like Ryan and Annie. "The Boys" Season 4 is set to premiere on Prime Video on June 13, 2024.
