Just one day before the premiere of Prime Video’s most over-the-top superhero series, one of the show’s leading stars is pleading innocent to a crime everyone saw him commit.The Vought International X accountreleased a new poster forThe Boysshowing Homelander (Antony Starr) standing with an American flag behind him attempting to prove to the world he’s innocent.Homelander will go to court inThe BoysSeason 4after murdering someone who threw a bottle at his son. In prior seasons, Starr’s menacing villain has always operated under a short corporate leash, but murdering a civilian to thunderous applause gave him all the reassurance he needed that what he did was right.
Marketing forThe BoysSeason 4 has been ramping into high gear over the last few weeks as the premiere draws closer, witha plethora of new posters, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes looks dropping on almost a daily basis. Because so much ofThe Boysrelies on commentary of the current political climate in America, it’s important for the minds behind promotion and social media to be plugged into the conversation and take advantage of it, something the series has executed to perfection since its premiere in 2019. It’s highly unlikely Homelander will be convicted of murder or see any punishment for what he did inthe Season 3 finale, but his going to court and sitting in a room full of people he’d love to kill should certainly offer some good laughs.
‘The Boys’ Will End With Season 5
Several weeks before the Season 4 premiere, it was announced thatThe Boyshad already been renewed for Season 5, an impressive showing of good faith albeit not that surprising considering the show’s popularity. However, mere days before Season 4 debuted on Prime Video, series writer and creatorEric Kripketook to social media to announce thatSeason 5 would be the final outing forThe Boys.Early reviews forThe BoysSeason 4are the lowest in the series to date, landing at a critics consensus of 83% onRotten Tomatoes. This is still solid, but undoubtedly a step-down from the near flawless scores the series earned in Seasons 1 and 2. Although up in the air, the future ofThe Boysuniverse is in good hands with theGen Vkids at Godolkin University.
The first three episodes ofThe BoysSeason 4 premiere tomorrow, June 13. Check out the new poster above and streamThe Boysexclusively on Prime Video.
