THE BOYS Season 4 Finale Promo Features Butcher's Farewell And A Possible [SPOILER] Tease

A little later than usual, Prime Video has released a teaser for tomorrow's season 4 finale of The Boys, and it might just feature a hint that a certain character could be making their return...

The Boys wraps up its fourth season tomorrow, and Prime Video has now released a promo for the sure-to-be eventful episode, which is titled "Assassination Run."

The teaser sees a dying Billy Butcher bid an emotional goodbye to Hughie on the phone, as he asks him to tell the rest of the team that he's sorry for how everything went down.

Will Butcher actually be killed off? Considering there's still another season to go, we'd say it's highly unlikely, and there is also the small matter of his mysterious - and seemingly very formidable - superpower that appears to be controlled by the part of the brain that imagines his late friend Joe Kessler is speaking to him.

We also see Homelander finalize his plan to take out soon-to-be sworn-in President Singer and replace him with Victoria Neuman. Will Sister Sage turn on the leader of the Seven after being fired last week? The smartest woman (sorry, person) in the world could certainly devise a way to derail the plot without getting directly involved.

Finally, one quick glimpse of Grace Mallory with her hand hovering over a red button has led to speculation that Soldier Boy could make his return in this episode. It's a solid theory, but far from the only explanation for this shot!

Check out the promo at the link below, and let us know how you think the season 4 finale is going to play out in the comments section.

"The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power," reads the official season 4 synopsis. "Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late."

Returning cast members include Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti, along with new recruits Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

The first three episodes of The Boys season 4 will be available to stream from June 13th, with new instalments dropping weekly through to the season finale on July 18.

@bobevanz - dude, I have read nothing but great reviews on this thing and heard from a few people they loved it.

I just figured it was gonna be a terrible, knock-off summer flick with nothing but special effects.
Apparently, they've really got something here.

Have fun seeing it my friend!

@bobevanz - I just re-watched the original last night, I forgot how good it was. It actually holds up pretty well with all the special effects even today.

@KennKathleen -
McFwrlane Toys used to be awesome but man their quality the last few years has dipped so far down.
The legs on that Deadpool look ridiculous and the paintjob on that Wolverine is horrid.

@TrentCrimm - @TrentCrimm - the design is seemingly a tribute to Liefeld's style. It's spot-on.

I don't think Butcher is dying. Not before we find out why the hell he blacked out and how he killed Ezekiel.

@comicfan100 - yeah

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see that this episode

I know “ Kessler” said he did it but how?.

lazlodaytona - 7/17/2024, 4:36 PM
@comicfan100 - I don't think he's dying until the last ep of season 5 or tomorrow but is somehow resurrected next season a la Soldier Boy or whatever ever V-worm he's got diggin in around his noggin.

@comicfan100 - He blacked out because his brain is too damaged and he's dying. But not until Season 5, of course. Unless he's lucky and has a miracle.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 7/17/2024, 12:27 PM
Looking forward to it!!.

I don’t think Butchers gonna die considering we still have the final session and I don’t see them doing it without Karl Urban but would be a hell of a twist if he did lol.

Anyway , I have liked the season so far so hope this wraps it up well and tees up a hopefully satisfying last hurrah!!.

This season has not been great. Little moments of good here and there are not enough to make up for bad writing / character motivations, the cultural/societal commentary now being lazy and boring, the shock value stuff being less interesting than it once was, none of the major characters (with the possible exception of A Train) having any interesting growth this season, and very questionable character decisions being made left and right for everyone.

@mountainman - The actor's are still doing a good job but the series lost it's voice, 90% of the dialogue is regurgitated twitter comments.
lazlodaytona
lazlodaytona - 7/17/2024, 4:49 PM
@mountainman - I believe A-Train has definitely shown growth along with Ryan. You can see early on Ryan's about 85% accepted being with Homelander but that percentage has been greatly decreasing during this season's run. Ryan has good in him from his mom and a true conscience.

Star Light's arc has been brutal with running her organization while being beat up so bad in the media to the point her abortion was exposed. Now, over half the population thinks she's evil, she's lost control, and is truly breaking apart .... along with Hughie's dad dying. Which, btw, Hughie hasn't had any good arcs but the small one with his dad's death and reconciliation with his mom is an impactful one.

Hell, even Deep's goofy love arc with his squid and the tango over Homelander with Firecracker and Sister Sage is a good, side arc.

Most of all, Homelander is not only losing it (which he already has in a LOT of aspects) but he's getting to the point of wanting world-wide domination and total dictatorship. A god among men.

I don't believe that the arcs of the show have been nearly as bad as people have been saying.
mountainman
mountainman - 7/17/2024, 6:36 PM
@lazlodaytona - Neither Hughie nor Starlight have had interesting arcs this season. The Deep is 100% the same character he was at the start of the show and his Octopus lover was gross not emotional. Ryan has had some growth but is nowhere near the character than any of us care about.

I don’t know man. If it’s good for you, then power to you. But this season is the weakest yet and the only reason I’m still watching is just to finish it at this point. It’s really not that good any more.

@mountainman - I haven't gotten through the first episode this season. I just can't care...
mountainman
mountainman - 7/18/2024, 6:33 AM
@KennKathleen - The first two or three are the worst and it picks up after that. But I don’t blame you. I was bored one night and plowed through the first four and now I’m committed unfortunately.

He ain't "dying". I'm thinking it's more like the Kessler/evil side of him will take over and we'll see what's been living inside him, come out.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 7/17/2024, 12:47 PM
@JoeInTheBox - I’m imagining tendrils for some reason

I can see it being akin to that episode of Diabolical if you have seen that

@TheVisionary25 - Definitely agree on tendrils, I think it’s because we’ve already seen them with that Bunny - it had been dosed with Temp V and was sleeping in the woods, the tentacles subconsciously reacted to danger when Butcher approached - I believe that’s exactly what butcher has inside of him

It's so predictable that Butcher will be the main villain, even over Homelander. It's SO SO OBVIOUS.

Sad to see the show fall off a cliff this season. The way they portrayed male vs female sexual assault was disgusting to say the least and the show relies so much on shock value that the writing has suffered immensely.

I agree with you. Also, my tinfoil hat theory is that Marie will come in and remove the temp v from Butcher's blood. I thought that Victoria would do it at first but hey, I dont think she'll be too kind to Butcher next time she sees him.

I'm LOVING this season. Especially, the jabs at trump monkeys. The story has been balanced and intriguing for me, personally. Seeing Butcher being vulnerable but still himself, and wanting to stop a global genocide is the best part.

I’ve enjoyed the season, but not as much as earlier ones. It doesn’t feel like there’s been a very climatic buildup to the finale, not for me anyway.
Shivermetimbers
Shivermetimbers - 7/17/2024, 4:54 PM
@elgaz - It has been pretty anticlimactic so far. To the point where I didn't even realize that tomorrow is the final episode. It felt like it was still building in mid-season mode.
NinnesMBC
NinnesMBC - 7/17/2024, 8:59 PM
They didn't show a single thing about the situation going with the real Annie and her impostor. Must be heavy spoilers.

Butcher won't die, he will pull through and still have some gas left in his tank for the final Season. Unless showrunner Kripke wants to pull a revival ala Jon Snow for Season 5.

I've heard rumors about Soldier Boy returning which I'm meh about. Jensen's cool but it's enough having a character that is objectively evil and asshole and how actual fans gather behind him (Homelander) so I'm not looking forward to seeing the same repeat with SB as it was in S3. It'd be another clash of father and son like in Season 3 and Homelander proved that he's still stronger, you need to tag-team these villains to make them feel the pressure.

Regardless I've liked the Season so I can't wait for when the episode drops past at midnight.
