Black Noir Returns in The Boys Season 4 Trailer
The first sneak-peak of The Boys Season 4 is finally here with loads of interesting plot unveiling in over 1-minute trailer. While the upcoming season hints at loads of disaster coming along the way, Black Noir‘s appearance has surely left fans puzzled.
The masked character is one of the members of The Seven, a group of superheroes managed by Vought International. In the new trailer, the character is seen standing behind Antony Starr’s Homelander in one of the scenes. For the unversed, Black Noir is a clone of Homelander in the comics created by Vought as a backup in case the latter went too out of control.
However, in the live-action, the first version of the former is an entirely different person Nathan Mitchell played. Now that the character has been back in the new season, many are confused about what happened to his character in the last season among many other intriguing thoughts.

Maybe this is the point where they clone Homelander, so it falls back in line with the comic plot. They show a jar of blonde hair after all…

Could literally be anyone in the costume. The public never saw his face and have no idea that Homelander killed him so they could literally put anyone in there as long as their body/height looked similar and no one would ever know

While The Boys did not reveal much of Black Noir’s character till the third season, his character was put to shine in the previous season. Not only he finally unmasked himself but he was also able to talk freely. However, towards the end, we see him meeting a brutal ending all because he betrayed Homelander. He, who obeyed Vought’s orders and betrayed Soldier Boy to the Russians, hides the fact about Solider Boy’s relationship with Homelander.
When Homelander inquired whether the former knew he was made from Soldier Boy’s DNA, it took a bloody turn. Despite knowing Homelander always needed a father, he chose to remain silent. This betrayal was something he couldn’t forgive and as a result, Homelander brutally murdered his companion.
Meanwhile, the teaser did not reveal the exact details about the upcoming season’s release. Previous seasons are available on Prime Video.
