The Boys
Summary
The close ofGen Vhas lead to a superfluity of possibility being concocted for 2024’sThe Boysseason 4 that could change the latter in irreversible path . Gen Vwas free in 2023 on Amazon Prime Video as a twisting - off toThe Boys , though many did not anticipate how closely the two shows would be connected . By the meter ofGen Vseason 1 ’s termination , it became clear that the spin - off would actively link into the continued exploits of Billy Butcher , Hughie , Frenchie , and Mother ’s Milk River .
Before a continuation of the characters introduced in the tailspin - off withGen Vseason 2 ’s story , The Boyswill render to Amazon Prime in 2024 to plunk up the baton . The character and patch points introduced inGen Vset upThe Boysseason 4 ’s story , leading many to get speculate exactly how the upshot of the former will impact the status quo of the latter . WithThe Boysseason 4 ’s passing dategrowing ever closer , it is deserving exploring some of the theory spawning out ofGen Vseason 1 and how some may have lasting effects onThe Boys ' universeshould they come to realisation .
The Boysseason 4 does not have a reassert sacking appointment as yet . However , showrunner Eric Kripke has stated the editing of the show is complete and the music , visual effects , and marketing are near completion , hinting at a press release date in the first half of 2024 .
8Homelander Killed Marie Moreau In Gen V’s Season 1 Finale
Marie Moreau may have met a grisly end in a shocking The Boys twist.
perhaps the biggest possibility coming out ofGen Vseason 1 ’s conclusion is thatThe Boys ' Homelander really killed Marie Moreau . The ending ofGen Vsaw Marie , Jordan , Andre , and Emma attempting to stop Cate and Sam from inciting mass violence against human beings by Supes . finally , Homelander arrives at the scene and learn Cate ’s side due to his radical political views on Supes being ranking to man before lasering Marie due to her actions against other Supes . Miraculously , Marie wake from Homelander ’s gust with little account of how she survived something that has antecedently been draw as one of the most muscular Supe onslaught in Homelander ’s repertoire .
As such , a common theory is that Marie was actually killed by Homelander ’s attack . This theory state that Marie seen at the ending ofGen Vin a infirmary - like room alongside Andre , Jordan , and Emma is actually a construct of Cate ’s imagination and the other hero are in her mind prison . Gen Vepisode 6 showcased that Cate can recreate potent , stagnant Supes in her mind and she could be doing the same with Marie to extract information from the other three hero . This would changeThe Boysseason 4 as it would signify Andre , Jordan , Emma , and most significantly , Marie will not be part of the show ’s story .
7Victoria Neuman Uses Shetty’s Supe Virus Against Homelander
The new Supe virus provides powerful leverage against an equally powerful opponent.
doubtlessly the most reality - altering plot point ofGen Vwas the reveal that Indira Shetty was using Godolkin University to create a virus that only regard Supe ’s . The virus was eventually given to Victoria Neuman , a Supe masquerading as a regular human who has previously appeared inThe Boysseasons 2 and 3 . In her show inThe Boysseason 3 , Neuman begin work with Homelander . However , the villain threatened Neuman at multiple breaker point , and the latter knows the former will only keep her around as long as she proves utile to him .
With her hand now on the Supe computer virus , Neuman now has a bargaining chip to habituate against Homelander . While she may not actively use the computer virus against Homelander , she at least can utilise it as leveraging against him should he ever put her in harm ’s room . With a plot point as large as a Supe virus , Neuman is now one of the more powerful people inThe Boysgiven that she is the only individual with access to it .
6Neuman Uses The Supe Virus To Aid Her Political Campaign
A Supe virus may provide leverage to elevate Neuman’s political stance on anti-Supes.
Another possibleness of Neuman having the Supe computer virus involves her connection with Homelander in conjunction with her political vocation . At the end ofThe Boysseason 3 , Homelander repaid Neuman for her helper by murdering Lamar Bishop , a man who was supposed to be joining Robert Singer ’s presidential campaign as running checkmate . This permit her to conjoin Singer as his running first mate , encourage her go up up the political ladder .
With the Supe computer virus in her hands , Neuman ’s political goals could be furthered even more . ThroughoutThe Boys , Neuman is demonstrate as a member of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs , an establishment that go on Supes in check through effectual means rather than the extremist method of someone like Billy Butcher . Now that Neuman has the Supe computer virus , she could practice this to wholly regulate Supe natural process across the globe now that she has something to menace superhumans with .
5Billy Butcher Acquires The Supe Virus From Neuman
Butcher’s extremist anti-Supe views may lead him to the dangerous virus.
Another persona fromThe Boyswhose pursuit will for certain be piqued by the Supe virus is Billy Butcher himself . Butcher has a vendetta against most , if not all , Supes . His goal since the beginning ofThe Boyshas been to destroy Homelander for the snatch and intimate assault of his wife , Becca . This has caused Butcher to have an huge distrust of all Supes , even those on his side like Starlight , Queen Maeve , and Kimiko .
AcrossThe Boys’first three seasons , Butcher ’s methods have been shown to become more radical . This has caused him to collide with other appendage of the titular Boys and turn him down an even darker path than before . Through the Supe virus , this dark course could become exponentially more unrelenting . With the virus theoretically in his willpower , Butcher could achieve everything he has ever want and consecrate mass racial extermination against the Supe population of the planet , something that would irrevocably changeThe male child ' universe .
4Cate Is The Boys Season 4’s Main Villain
Cate would provide a different kind of antagonist from The Boys' usual physically imposing villains.
One of the more interesting theory afterGen Vthat would changeThe Boysinvolves Cate . Cate was an unbelievably sympathetic , complex character inGen Vdespite being one of the show ’s independent antagonists . While Homelander has always been the face of villainy inThe Boys , other enemies like Stormfront , Soldier Boy , A - Train , and Translucent have been prevalent . As such , one theory forThe Boysseason 4 is that Cate is preface as a villain to Butcher and the gang . This would make for a nice switch - up ofThe Boys’status quo by using an overly openhearted villain , and one that does not necessitate brutish force to overcome as usual .
3The Guardians Of Godolkin Are Test Subjects For Vought
Vought may be searching for a way to negate the Supe virus.
The cease ofGen Vsaw Andre , Marie , Jordan , and Emma confined to a room with no doors , presumptively by Vought . One theory staunch from this fit could prove that the four are test subject of Vought who have been made aware by Cate that Supe viruses are potential . In visible radiation of this , it would stand to reason that Vought is look for either a cure to Shetty ’s computer virus or a way to make Supes immune to sickness . This would drastically alterThe Boysseason 4 ’s story as a major chemical element ofGen Vin the Supe computer virus could be negated or , at worst , replicated for ulterior motives .
2Homelander Uses Gen V’s Riots As Grounds For A Supe Takeover
Homelander may use Cate’s radicalism to his own advantage.
The persona most likely to completely alterThe Boys ' story is Homelander , who has been threatening to snatch up and destroy the world since season 1 . WithThe Boysseason 3 , however , Homelander became a cautionary emblem for ultra , extremist political view like bloodless supremacy by deeming Supes as superior to humans . AfterGen V , one plot gunpoint could aid Homelander in secure his vision for the universe that would alterThe Boysseason 4 eternally .
TheGen Vriots at Godolkin were repositioned to pin the blame on Marie , Andre , Emma , and Jordan rather than Cate and Sam . throw the power Vought , or more competently Homelander , has inThe Boysuniverse , he could further pivot the tale and bring out that Supes were being demonized , oppressed , and enslaved by humans in The Woods . This could provide public fellow feeling for theGen Vriots while also positioning Homelander , Cate , and Sam as heroes who stopped violence against homo despite the atrocious act the latter group practice . This could lead to a takeover from Homelander as a Supe macrocosm loss leader which would mean huge consequences forThe Boys .
1Marie, Jordan, Andre, & Emma Join The Boys In Season 4
The Boys may have four new, incredibly powerful members.
at last , one of the more probable theories forThe Boysseason 4 afterGen V ’s ending is that Marie , Jordan , Andre , and Emma join Butcher and the Boys . The four are now clearly aware of Vought ’s , and Homelander ’s , corruption and have been shown to be dedicated to doing the right affair . Their character were presented as not too dissimilar from the like of Hughie , Frenchie , Mother ’s Milk , Starlight , and Kimiko who seem to want to do the virtuously correct thing . Given the pull these characters have over Butcher ’s radical tendencies , The Boys is a group that has mostly been used for this purpose .
This all sets up the possibility of the four Godolkin champion joiningThe Boysin time of year 4 . This would convert thing in a giving way forThe Boys , as it present more heroic Supes willing to fight back against Homelander and crooked superhumans besides Starlight , Maeve , and Kimiko . AfterGen quintuplet , this possibility seems to be both the most likely and most exciting prospect for how the status quo ofThe Boysseason 4 will change .
