Following the recent casting of Susan Heyward and Valorie Curry, Amazon Studios has dropped the first two promo photos for the upcoming fourth season of The Boys. The photos provide us with our first look at Heyward and Curry’s respective superhero characters, Sister Sage and Firecracker.

Previously described by showrunner Eric Kripke as “some of the best & craziest (characters they’ve) ever written,” the show’s official Twitter account teases Heyward’s Sage as someone who’s “already a thousand steps ahead of you,” while Curry’s Firecracker is called as someone who has a short fuse.
The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the supergroup known as “The Seven.” The show retains most of the comics’ boundary-pushing violence and sexuality while exploring the dark side of superhero celebrity and fame.
The Amazon Studios series stars Jack Quaid, Laz Alonso, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, and Karl Urban, along with Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Nathan Mitchell, Claudia Doumit, and Colby Minifie.
Season 3 featured the addition of Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles as the infamous Soldier Boy, Katia Winter as Little Nina, Miles Gaston Villaneuva (Law & Order True Crime) as Supersonic, Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints) as Gunpowder, Nick Wechsler (Revenge) as Blue Hawk, and Laurie Holden (The Walking Dead) as Crimson Countess.
