THE BOYS CAST ON HOMELANDER'S LEADERSHIP AND EXPLODING HEADS


ANTONY STARR, ERIN MORIARTY, CHACE CRAWFORD AND MORE TALK ABOUT THE NEW SEASON
OF PRIME VIDEO'S BOLD, BLOODY SUPERHERO SATIRE.

by RT Staff | June 13, 2024 | Comments

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



TAGGED AS: Prime Video, streaming, Superheroes, TV

Equal parts gory, hilarious, incisive, and even sometimes heartfelt, Prime
Video’s adaptation of the comic book series The Boys has been something of an
antidote to superhero fatigue since it debuted on the streamer in 2019. It
probably helps that the superheroes themselves are frequently the targets of
this subversive satire, which takes place in a world where superpowered beings
aren’t always the altruistic do-gooders we typically expect them to be.

Ahead of the premiere of season 4, The Boys stars Antony Starr, Chace Crawford,
Erin Moriarty, Claudia Doumit, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Valorie Curry,
Susan Heyward, and executive producer Eric Kripke sat down with RT correspondent
Mark Ellis to chat about the superhero satire, sharing what they love about
playing their characters, discussing Homelander’s leadership style, and warning
us all about more head explosions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark Ellis for Rotten Tomatoes: With the psychopathic, absurdist tendencies of
your characters, how much fin is that to play for each of you?

Antony Starr: So much fun. So much fun. Particularly you, you get to do so much
absurd…

Chace Crawford: Yeah, for me, it’s pretty wild. Yeah, I like to inject some
craziness into the absurdity, but it’s a dream. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had.

Starr: Yeah, but I think one of the things that I really appreciate about it is
their relationship with Eric. He doesn’t want to have mustache-twirling
villains. You know, the characters are three-dimensional, and I think everyone
does a great job of really adding layers and depth to the characters, so that
it’s not just “crazy pshcyopath,” you know? We don’t want to empathize with
these guys, but we want to understand what makes them tick, because I think
audiences expect that from their villains now as well.

Watch the video for the full interview with Antony Starr, Chace Crawford, Erin
Moriarty, Claudia Doumit, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Valorie Curry, Susan
Heyward, and Eric Kripke.

The first three episodes of The Boys: Season 4 (2024) premiere on Prime Video on
June 13, 2024.
