‘The Boys’ Season 4 Trailer Is Bloody and a Little Bubbly

When we left for the last time The boys, Homelander’s (Anthony Starr) political adventure was progressing and Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) had a terminal illness. Two years and a new spin-off later, Homelander’s presidential campaign continues to be a dark mirror of the US political climate and Butcher is desperately trying to come to terms with his diagnosis.

The official trailer shows Butcher considering something very similar to the X-Men’s legacy virus – a biological solution that could kill the series’ superheroes. There’s a lot of carnage, some weighty moments and consequences, someone’s skull apparently vomiting bubbles when hacked with a hatchet, a Butcher standoff with Black Noir, and even a chicken breast burst.

The next season of The boys premieres on June 13th on Amazon Prime Video. In addition to Urban and Starr, returning actors include Jack Quaid, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso and Karen Fukuhara. New to the show are Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who, in my canon, will be reprising his watchmakers role as the comedian).
