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

Antony Starr says Homelander is about to cross a new line in the final season of The Boys, and he suggests it will top everything the character has done so far. The comments came during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, where Starr reflected on Homelander’s history before hinting at what is still to come.

Starr went back to earlier moments in the series to explain how extreme the character has always been. He brought up the opening of season one, where Homelander waves at a child in a private jet and then destroys the plane mid-flight. He described it as the start of the character’s dark tone and said, “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 continued by joking about how Homelander can be seen as a twisted version of Superman, but without limits or restraint. Starr said the character is like Superman “reversed,” and pushed into complete moral collapse. He added that the role has always been about making the audience uncomfortable while still being strangely drawn to him.

Then Starr shifted to the final season and teased that things are going further than fans might expect. He hinted that Homelander’s next actions could surpass even his most infamous moments. Starr said, “It gets worse than waving at a kid right before you kill him? If you think killing children is bad…” before trailing off, suggesting something even darker is coming.

The final season has already been promoted as Homelander’s most intense chapter yet, with the story building toward the conclusion of the Prime Video series. Starr’s comments line up with that direction, pointing to a version of the character that is even less controlled and more dangerous.

Series creator Eric Kripke has previously praised Starr’s performance, saying the actor helps shape Homelander into one of television’s most complex villains. Kripke has described Starr as fearless in his approach, often embracing unpredictable choices that make the character feel unstable and real.

That unpredictability has become a key part of the show’s identity. Because Starr often does not fully know what Homelander will do in a scene, the audience also stays unsure, which adds tension to every appearance.

With only a small number of episodes left in the final season, Starr’s comments suggest Homelander’s ending will not be simple or clean. Instead, it may push the character even further into the extreme behavior that has defined him from the start.
