Antony Starr Teases Homelander’s Most Evil Moment Yet in ‘The Boys’ Final Season

Antony Starr has hinted that Homelander is set to cross a new threshold in the final season of ‘The Boys’, suggesting that it will surpass everything the character has done previously. This revelation came during his appearance on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, where Starr reflected on Homelander’s past while teasing what lies ahead.

Starr revisited earlier moments from the series to illustrate the character’s extreme nature. He recalled the opening of season one, where Homelander waves at a child aboard a private jet before destroying the plane mid-flight. He described this as a fitting introduction to the character’s dark persona, stating, “So that was the beginning and it was a great introduction to what the character’s gonna be like. So I think starting with killing a kid is pretty good.”

He humorously noted that Homelander can be viewed as a twisted version of Superman, lacking any limits or restraint. Starr characterized the character as a “reversed” Superman, pushed into complete moral decay. He emphasized that playing Homelander has always been about making the audience uncomfortable while still being oddly captivated by him.

As he shifted focus to the final season, Starr teased that the stakes are escalating beyond what fans might anticipate. He suggested that Homelander’s upcoming actions could eclipse even his most notorious moments. Starr remarked, “It gets worse than waving at a kid right before you kill him? If you think killing children is bad…” before trailing off, hinting at something even darker on the horizon.

The final season has been promoted as Homelander’s most intense chapter yet, building toward the conclusion of the Prime Video series. Starr’s comments align with this trajectory, hinting at a version of the character that is even less restrained and more perilous.

Series creator Eric Kripke has previously lauded Starr’s performance, noting that the actor has helped shape Homelander into one of television’s most intricate villains. Kripke described Starr as fearless in his approach, often embracing unpredictable choices that render the character both unstable and authentic.

This unpredictability has become a hallmark of the show’s identity. Since Starr often does not fully know what Homelander will do in a scene, the audience also remains uncertain, which adds tension to every appearance.

With only a few episodes remaining in the final season, Starr’s remarks suggest that Homelander’s conclusion will not be straightforward or tidy. Instead, it may push the character further into the extreme behavior that has characterized him from the beginning.
