‘The Boys’: Season 4 footage shows the return of a dead superhero

SPOILER attention!

* We talked about some relevant facts of the third season of “The Boys”. If you haven’t seen the season, don’t read on!

Filming for season 4 of “The Boys” is already underway, which brings us new news related to our superheroes. At the end of season 3 we saw Dark Black die, however, the character will return for the next chapter of the series.

The return of this character had already been anticipated a few months ago, when the creator Eric Kripke said that Dark Black would be back together with the actor who plays him. However, we now have official confirmation, as a photo from the season 4 footage has finished confirming Dark Black is back in the series. This superhero was killed at the hands of Patriot last season, but that didn’t stop him from returning to the ring with a different twist than we could see in his character.

This image was posted on Twitter and in it we see Dark Black along with other heroes: A-Train, Profundo and the new signings of The 7. This confirmed what we were already talking about, the return of the character who seems to return with the rest of the superheroes to fulfill his duty in season 4.

Despite confirming his return, the Dark Black character will not be the same as we have seen in previous seasons. By being a superhero with a suit that covers the whole body and face, as well as not talking, it’s easy for other people to take control of the character, and that’s the idea they’ll be exploring for the new season. Nathan Mitchell will be wearing the Dark Black suit again, although he will play a different character. Creator Eric Kripke intends to keep the actor in his series as he seeks out new ways to use the superhero. Earlier this year, Kripke explained his intentions to Entertainment Weekly: “A character who is completely silent and wears a black mask can be replaced”. Additionally, the creator has made it clear what his claims are regarding the Black Dark character: “It’s definitely not the last time we’ve seen Dark Black as a hero. It’s just that the guy who was inside [del traje de Oscuro] in season 3, he left. But we have Nathan playing a really interesting and hilarious character who will be wearing the suit next season. “.

New purchases in sight

In addition to seeing Black Dark in the image shared via Twitter, we also got to see two new signings of “The Boys” for its new season. These are the superheroines: Sister Sage (Susan Heyward) and Firecracker (Valorie Curry), of which we don’t have much information yet, beyond some promotional images. To see the resurrection of Black Dark alongside these new heroine appearances we will have to wait for “The Boys” to return to Prime Video in 2023.
