In the world of fantasy entertainment, Amazon Prime’s The Boys has carved out its own niche by presenting an unprecedented take on flawed and complex superheroes.

Thereafter, following the premiere of the first three episodes of The Boys season 4 on June 13, the titular cast sat for an interview with Taya Millerr. Speaking about the show and their characters, the cast opened up about the darkest aspects of their individual roles. With each actor providing fascinating insights into the complexities of their characters, Antony Starr dropped the mic with his cheeky response.

The Boys Cast Confesses the Worst Things About Their Characters

Following the success of the first three seasons of Amazon Prime’s The Boys, as the studio greenlighted production for season 4, the highly anticipated series premiered its latest season on Thursday. Immediately after the release, the titular cast of the show appeared for an interview with Taya Millerr, where they offered their individual take on their respective characters.

During the interview shared via Taya Millerr’s official Instagram account, the cast of the hit series opened up about the red flag elements of their roles. From manipulation to deceit, each actor delved into the immoral traits that define their on-screen characters. The cast didn’t shy away from exploring the darker sides of their roles when Antony Starr dropped the best response.

What is your character’s biggest red flag? Millerr asked. “Off the top of my head, she’s manipulative, she gaslights.” Claudia Doumit shared.

Have you seen The Deep’s room? I think it’s his biggest red flag. It’s like a waterbed and a big aquarium, and he’s got a picture of Homelander. Have you seen my room? Chace Crawford noted, while Starr commented, “Your room is like a p*rnstar’s dream,”.

The face pull that Kimiko does. Like if you’re on a date with her and have a lovely dinner and she doesn’t like something, then she’s like [gestures to pull her face apart]. Karen Fukuhara shared.

I’d say for me it would be… no you go first. My character is flawless, I don’t know. Erin Moriarty cried.

The fact that he wears an American flag. Antony Starr chuckled.

While each actor offered their individual opinion on their respective character’s psyche, it was undoubtedly Antony Starr, who stole the spotlight with his short and crisp yet hilarious response. Known for his riveting portrayal of the sociopathic superhero, Starr offered his take on his character’s red flag costume, alongside his fellow co-stars.

What Does the Future Hold for Antony Starr’s The Boys?

Meanwhile, as The Boys hit Amazon Prime with its latest season, fans wonder what’s next for the show. Hooking fans to the screen over the gripping exploration of power, corruption, and the consequences of unchecked authority, Antony Starr’s series consistently captivates audiences with its gritty take on the superhero genre.

While previously showrunner Eric Kripke, famously known for helming Supernatural, teased fans about the possibility of The Boys running longer than potential 5 seasons, he recently confirmed the show will be ending with Season 5. Ahead of the Season 4 debut, Kripke told Variety that the satirical superhero drama will shoot the eight-episode final installment from November 2024 through mid-2025 and then wrap the project.

How long have you known Season 5 of “The Boys” would be the final season? Interviewer asked.

I would say near the beginning of writing Season 3, so years — years and years. And it took a minute for Amazon to agree, it took another minute to get them to clear it in all the channels so that we could finally announce it. I’m thrilled to be able to announce it because it was just like a tiny bit frustrating to always answer, “I don’t know how long it’ll go! And maybe it’ll go forever! And who can say?” But the truth was, I just wasn’t allowed to say yet. Kripke shared.

Therefore, while fans overwhelmingly embraced The Boys for its bold storytelling, complex characters, and fresh take on the superhero genre, the Amazon Prime show is set to come to an end by 2025, with its last installment. Although the other live-action shows based on the comic book adaptation, spinoff Gen V will continue for a while, but Antony Starr’s Homelander and his team shall bid adieu.

The Boys is available on Prime Video.
