Homelander Returns! What to Expect from 'The Boys' Season 4

As the anticipation reaches fever pitch, fans of Amazon’s hit series "The Boys" are just hours away from diving back into the chaotic world of superheroes and vigilantes. Season 3 left us with countless questions and tantalizing cliffhangers, and now, Season 4 promises to be even more explosive. With Homelander's new powers, Soldier Boy's capture, and Butcher's precarious situation, the stakes have never been higher.

SPOILER ALERT: Major Revelations Ahead

1. Will Black Noir Return?

The enigmatic Black Noir’s story was just beginning to unfold when Homelander abruptly ended it. His silent, brooding presence had started to show depth, making his apparent demise all the more shocking. Fans, however, remain skeptical about his death. The detailed exploration of his character suggests he might not be gone for good. Creator Eric Kripke has hinted at a potential return, fueling speculation that the silent ninja could make a comeback in Season 4.

2. The New 'Seven'?

With Starlight's departure from The Seven, Maeve's likely permanent exit, and Black Noir's uncertain fate, the original team is in disarray. Homelander, now wielding unprecedented power, may form a new iteration of The Seven or even disband the group altogether. With A-Train and The Deep as the remaining members of the old guard, the dynamics are set to change dramatically. Could we see a new roster under Homelander’s iron-fisted rule?

3. Homelander Eyeing the Presidency?

Homelander’s control over Vought and his unwavering public support, despite his true nature being revealed, set the stage for a bold new ambition: the presidency. The comics saw him making a move on the White House, and Season 4 might follow this path. With Victoria Neuman as the Vice President, the tension is ripe for Homelander to make a play for ultimate power. His narcissism and thirst for control could drive him to this audacious goal.

4. Soldier Boy's Return

Jensen Ackles' Soldier Boy became an instant fan favorite in Season 3. Now a government asset, his role could be pivotal. There’s potential for him to align with The Boys, leveraging his insider knowledge of Vought to aid their cause. Fans are eager to see more of Soldier Boy, and his return seems almost certain as his storyline has much left to explore.

5. Butcher's Dark Turn

Billy Butcher’s journey has been one of relentless brutality and vengeance. With his tragic past, Ryan’s allegiance to Homelander, and the deadly effects of Temp V, Butcher teeters on the edge. Season 4 might see him transform into an even more ruthless force, perhaps crossing the line from anti-hero to outright villain. His singular focus on destroying Homelander could drive him to unimaginable extremes, setting up a cataclysmic showdown.

As "The Boys" Season 4 begins, fans are braced for a thrilling ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. The power struggles, evolving alliances, and deepening character arcs promise a season that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Get ready for another diabolical chapter in the saga of Homelander, Butcher, and the ever-chaotic world of "The Boys."
