The teaser for The Boys season 4 has dropped to the delight of fans as the much-awaited sequel takes the storyline forward in the franchise. After the third season, the franchise came out with an equally engaging spinoff, Gen V season 1, that is expected to tie up with the original storyline leading to The Boys season 4. With Homelander’s trial due at the end of season 3, yet his chastising Marie in the final episode of Gen V, the next events are highly anticipated
The teaser hints at his trial, the riots at the trial, and his intention of overthrowing the government. It also showed Victoria Neuman winning the elections with balloons dropping in the hall. Another snippet seems to indicate Ryan killed a man using his super force while a young girl attacked Kimiko using tendrils coming out of her mouth. Additionally, while there is an endearing glimpse of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, another scene has someone in Black Noir’s costume yet to be revealed.
