The Boys are masters of hype, and as award season approaches, the Prime Video series has put forth fans’ consideration for the series’ VFX. Season three of the superhero satire was the most explosive yet. Not only did it introduce fan-favorite character Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, but it also raised the bar with extremely gory scenes in the “Herogasm” episode, and well, THAT termite scene. But creating all this wasn’t easy.
In a new clip, the series’ visual effects supervisor, Stephan Fleet, and the cast discuss the making of the third season. “It started with me reading the first episode, and right there, I knew we’re in business,” Fleet said. He further elaborated on perfecting the visual effects work, season after season, saying, “We’re really into evolving it more than just traditional, like, eye laser of Butcher.” Praising the efforts of several artists, Karl Urban added, “You go in there, and you strike that pose of shooting lasers, and it looked great.”
The series has ample superheroes with distinct powers to keep fans engaged, but while the power display is one thing, the gore in the series is on another level. Fleet shares, “On the one hand, you have superpowers, and then you have all the gore and the crazy creatures and stuff that’s completely the stuff that you’ve never seen before. So, we have to create that stuff from scratch.” Season after season, fans have had a taste of the visceral, gory world of The Boys, where thanks to creator Eric Kripke, nothing is off-limits. Fleet shares that for Season 3, “the sequence where Chase eats the octopus, Timothee, that’s probably singlehandedly the hardest thing we do all season.”
What to Expect from The Boys Season 4
If you thought the third season had some gory elements, wait for the next season. Filming has wrapped for the upcoming season, and actor Antony Starr recently dished out details about the upcoming season, revealing that season four contains “the most bizarre thing” he’s ever done. Adding, “There has to be a ceiling, but we can’t seem to find it. I was looking at the person I was opposite, and I said, ‘What are we doing? I can’t believe this! I could have done anything else with my life, but here I am doing this?'” So get ready to witness series staple violence and gore, but at another level, as The Seven and The Boys finally come face-to-face, and the conflict between Butcher and Homelander peaks.
Currently, no release window has been set for The Boys season 4. You can check out the new clip below:
