So, it would be fitting to say that Eric Kripke has his hands full plotting out what lies ahead for The Boys, including the future for the fan-favorite Supes, Queen Maeve, and Soldier Boy. The end to The Boys season 3 was a fitting conclusion to the same season that also had the controversial “Herogasm” episode. Without spoiling the ending too much, the season finale saw the original The Seven’s member, Dominique McElligott’s Queen Maeve, forced to go into “retirement.” Having said that, Kripke revealed in a Deadline interview that fans shouldn’t give up on their hopes of seeing Queen Maeve, Soldier Boy, and even Black Noir, again. Here’s what Kripke had to say about Maeve’s “departure”:
You know, for instance for Maeve, we really felt like for Annie/Starlight to grow, we needed to take away her protector. It started to become sort of difficult because every time she was in a tight spot, you know, Maeve could show up and kick some ass, and we sort of need Annie to be in a position where she might be in real danger if she can’t figure it out for herself Kripke also added during the interview that it is “reasonably easy to recast” any hero that is “completely silent” and “completely masked-clad,” when asked about Black Noir. TLDR; we haven’t seen the last of Queen Maeve, Soldier, and Black Noir. Speaking of The Boys, a fourth season was confirmed halfway through Season 3. Kripke also let everyone know that he would like for Hideo Kojima to make a The Boys video game. The video game auteur recently talked about his idea for a canceled video game similar to The Boys.
