The Boys Black Noir Actor Discusses The Show Not Using The Comics Homelander Twist

Summary While The Boys will not be adapting a massive twist with Black Noir from the comics, actor Nathan Mitchell reveals why he understands the decision. One of the big additions in The Boys season 4 was Black Noir II, following the death of the original one in season 3. Despite having a new Black Noir in the mix, The Boys TV show will not be adapting the major comic book arc where it is revealed that Black Noir is actually a Homelander clone.

Yeah, I had a question about it at the beginning before we shot season 1, I asked him about that potential and that possibility, and very quickly, he was like, 'Yeah, we're not doing that.' So I did know that we were not going to go down that path, because it took away from Homelander's arc as a villain and the significance of his actions.

Why Mitchell Is Right About The Boys' Black Noir & Homelander Approach The Comics Twist Would Undercut How Threatening Homelander Is In The Show Close While readers of The Boys comic may be disappointed that they didn't get to see this arc with Black Noir, Mitchell makes a lot of valid points. Since the beginning of The Boys, it has been made abundantly clear that Homelander is the ultimate villain of the series.

3 It is one thing for this twist to work in the comics, but if The Boys series had ever decided to adapt that story, it would be a disservice to the TV show audience that has been heavily invested in this arc for years. To reveal that Black Noir was just another Homelander under the mask also removes the big mysteries surrounding the fallen character.
