THE BOYS VFX is halfway done and Actors can now do ADR

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that THE BOYS VFX is halfway done.

Following the spectacular spin-off that was Gen V, The Boys fans have been frothing at the mouth for any news about season 4. It seems as though the news was worth the wait, with two new posters showing off Homelander (Anthony Starr) surrounded by confetti and Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) standing defeated in a void of balloons, suggesting this upcoming season will focus on [SPOILER ALERT] the election of Homelander as president, just like in the comics.

Kripke posted on X (formerly Twitter) with two previously released The Boys Season 4 poster images and a step-by-step summary of what needs to be completed in editing, VFX, and music and sound before the season’s release date could be confirmed. He enthusiastically added, “It could be our best season. For sure our craziest.” The cast of Gen V also includes Jaz Sinclair as Marie Moreau, Chance Perdomo as Andre Anderson, Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer (a.k.a. Little Cricket), Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, Marco Pigossi, Clancy Brown, Alexander Calvert and Jason Ritter. Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie and P.J. Byrne are also on board, reprising their roles from The Boys.

Since it premiered in 2019, The Boys has set a goal of making each season the “craziest” yet, with a reputation for outrageous violence and mature content. Despite Season 4’s delay due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, hype has been building — and some hints have been dropped about what Karl Urban‘s Billy Butcher and Antony Starr‘s Homelander will be up to when they return to the screen.

The Boys is a subversion of the superhero genre

The Boys is based on a series of comics of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The show imagines a world in which superheroes are real, but funded and marketed by a megacorporation, Vought International, which engineered the drug that imparts powers. As a result, “supes” are viewed as celebrities and often concerned only with their image, so that many of them have become selfish, spoiled public idols. This is especially true of Homelander, the main antagonist of the story, who is also the most powerful.
