Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 4, episode 7.
The Boys season 4, episode 7, director Catriona McKenzie explains how the real Starlight can be identified after that big Supe reveal. Prime Video’s hit superhero satire returned for season 4 last month, continuing Billy Butcher’s (Karl Urban) quest against Vought and Homelander (Antony Starr). The Boys season 4, episode 7, introduces a new, shape-shifting Supe into the equation as the titular group investigates the plot to kill President Singer (Jim Beaver). The episode ends with the surprise reveal that this new character has taken the form of Starlight, with the real Annie held hostage in a mysterious location.
In a recent interview with Screen Rant, McKenzie reveals that there are some subtle signs audiences can look for to identify the imposter Starlight. Check out her comments below:
Erin’s so amazing. We talked about her physicality, we talked about her eyes, and we talked about a stillness because the Shifter doesn’t have the same kind of emotional, intuitive, emotional intelligence that Annie does. And we’ve seen that in the episode; there was just a stillness that she brought to her performance where she’s just a bit more robotic. It was fun working that up with her.
And she’s a natural. Basically, everything’s the opposite of what she’s developed, and she just moved away from her instincts. I think, as a director, it’s more and more about the subtleties of working with actors and working on characters that I find brings such pleasure. The minutia of performative detail is where I think is the goal is, and I love that moment when she gets out of bed and walks past Huey. She walks over to the safe, and you just know we’re in for a ride.
More to come…
The Boys
The Boys is a superhero/dark comedy satire series created by Eric Kripke based on the comic series of the same name. Set in a “what-if” world that reveres superheroes as celebrities and gods who experience minimal repercussions for their actions. However, one group of vigilantes headed by a vengeance-obsessed man named Billy Butcher will fight back against these super-charged “heroes” to expose them for what they are.
