Jake Gyllenhaal had his mind blown when the actor had a revelation during an interview for Disney’s 2022 film Strange World. The actor starred in the film with Dennis Quaid who played the father of Gyllenhaal’s character. However, Gyllenhaal got the shock of his life when he realized that this was not the only time Dennis Quaid had played his father.
Jake Gyllenhaal’s Strange World || Disney
In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Jake Gyllenhaal came to the realization that he and Dennis Quaid had actually worked in a film before. The actors had recorded their lines separately for Strange World, which gave them little time to interact with each other during the production of the film. The press junket was where the actors spent most of their time together, and a prompt from the journalist interviewing them reminded Gyllenhaal that he had shared the screen with Dennis Quaid before.

A long-rumored limited run of five seasons always made a lot of sense for Amazon Prime Video’s comedic hit The Boys. While the show was a critical and commercial success from its premiere in 2019 and onward, the nature of its premise is hard to maintain.
The Boys‘ satire of our current political and social era is so acute that every subsequent season carries with it the potential for audience burnout. Hell, audiences already seem fairly fed up with the superhero storytelling institutions that The Boys parodies in the first place. That’s why it was surprising when showrunner Eric Kripke seemed to intimate that he had rethought his initial plans for a five-season run.
In a May 28 interview with Inverse, Kripke said “No one was more wrong in all of human history about how many seasons their show was going to go than this guy.” While many naturally assumed...

With each passing day, as we watch new franchises come out of the factory that’s called the mainstream entertainment industry, there’s one phrase penned by Jonathan Nolan that continues to grow in relevance: “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” When The Boys started its journey, the superhero subgenre was at its peak, with each spandex-donning movie hitting a billion dollars like it was no big deal. So, seeing a show dedicated to satirizing the ridiculousness of it all was refreshing and exhilarating. Since Eric Kripke’s show commented on the Trump era of politics, it resonated with a lot of people and triggered the Maga-hat-wearing mob. Now, the show is in its fourth season. The superhero subgenre has witnessed a change. The USA has lived through the Biden presidency. But it seems like The Boys has not only...

Well, it's fair to say we didn't see this news coming.
Just a couple of hours after the review embargo for The Boys season 4 lifted, showrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that the upcoming fifth season will also be the show's last.
"[The Boys] Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season!" he announced on X. "Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final Ok from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 Days, cause the end has begun!"
The biggest criticism in the reviews that hit today is it feels like the show is now treading water and, to some extent, running on fumes. With that in mind, we're glad to see Kripke is sticking to his original five-season plan rather than stretching this story out any further simply to capitalise on The Boys' popularity.

Eric Kripke, showrunner of Prime’s much-loved drama The Boys — which offers dark societal commentary via a world filled with superheroes — has always been coy about how many seasons the show will last. “I have an ending in mind — I will say that,” he recently told Rolling Stone. But with the show’s fourth season set to debut June 13, he’s finally made it clear that there’s only one season to go after that. “Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final Ok from Vought,...

The eagerly awaited fourth season of The Boys starts streaming this Thursday, and ahead of its launch, we were able to catch up with stars Colby Minifie (“Ashley Barrett”), Susan Heyword (“Sister Sage”), and Valorie Curry (“Firecracker”) to talk about a little of what to expect from the revamped Seven.
Colby tells us more about Ashley's role at Vought following the events of last season and her dynamic with Homelander (Antony Starr) now that he's added some new firepower to The Seven. Meanwhile, Susan and Valorie tease what to expect from Sister Sage and Firecracker and what they hope to establish opposite Homelander and how that could ultimately mess up everything Ashley has worked toward.

Spoiler Warning!
The Boys is easily one of the most popular shows on the air. Each season is anticipated with bated breath as the Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg-produced comic book adaptation keeps raising the bar on showing the most shocking visuals of any television program ever. Prime Video gave the series an early season four renewal, which audiences have been waiting for. The wait is over, as the eight-episode fourth season is set to premiere this week.
Season four of The Boys picks up after Victoria Neuman becomes the Vice Presidential candidate to the chagrin Huey (Jack Quaid), Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), and the rest of The Boys. With Homelander (Antony Starr) on trial for a very public murder, the world is divided between those who support the leader of The Seven and those who side with Annie “Starlight” January (Erin Moriarty).

The fourth season of The Boys will be released on June 13, which only fuels the interest of fans.
We have chosen the most convincing theories about what awaits us in the new chapter of the main show about superheroes.
1. Billy Butcher Becomes a Supe
At the end of season three, it was revealed that multiple doses of the temporary Compound V were too dangerous. Billy Butcher was told he would live another year at most.
And there is one way to save him. It is entirely possible that Butcher would simply take the permanent Compound V, which would make him a true Supe, and it would be very ironic given his hatred of them.
2. Stan Edgar Returns
Many fans are sure that such a charismatic character cannot just disappear from the show. They are sure that he is still secretly working with Victoria and that everything that happened was his...

Well, well, how quickly things change. All along, the original plan for Prime Video's hit superhero supervillain series "The Boys" has been to span a total of five seasons -- at least according to creator Eric Kripke's response to a question-and-answer session on Twitter back in October of 2020. But having couched it in terms of another failed prediction he once made while working on "Supernatural," which he similarly envisioned to last five seasons and ended up watching it expand to 15, Kripke knows better than anyone that writers make plans and the television gods laugh. Well, consider them well and truly busting a gut over today's news that the creative's initial idea for "The Boys" is, in fact, coming to fruition after all. Just days before season 4 debuts, Kripke has taken to social media (via Variety) to announce that the upcoming fifth season will also be the show's last. As...

The Boys is rapidly coming to a conclusion.
Just days before the Season 4 release on June 13, creator Eric Kripke took to social media to share the news.
The Boys Season 5 will be its last.
I have already seen the fourth season, and it's spinning wildly toward an endpoint.
The latest season is darker than ever, with very few laughs for enjoyment. Instead, the laughter is uncomfortable and cringeworthy.

Yes, that's been a trademark of The Boys' humor, but as the series leans hard into our country's (and the world's) political division, the show does nothing to suggest we have a way out other than all-out war.
It's so on the nose politically that the entertainment comes in spurts, and anger and resentment build quickly.

Hits from the weekend
Streaming movies and shows made up the majority of the top five titles this past weekend, based on traffic to their IMDb pages. That’s thanks to a trio of Netflix titles and the new Star Wars series, “The Acolyte.” In theaters, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s fourth installment in the Bad Boys franchise delivered Hollywood a much-needed box office win, while ‘The Watchers’—the mystery-horror film starring Dakota Fanning—drew enough interest to land in the top 10.
By the time ‘Hit Man’ dropped on Netflix, movie fans were probably well aware of who Glen Powell was, but the popularity of the comedic action film brought more IMDb users’ attention to co-star Adria Arjona and director Richard Linklater. If Arjona looked familiar to viewers, it’s likely from several supporting roles in other streaming hits like “Good Omens,” “Andor,” and ‘6 Underground’ with Ryan Reynolds.
It’s not often that directors crack the top five (or even top 10) names on IMDb, but viewers were clearly interested to know more about Richard Linklater, the versatile and irreverent director of indie films like ‘Slacker’ and ‘Dazed and Confused,’ who also found mainstream recognition with ‘School of Rock.’
Also big on Netflix were the French killer shark movie ‘Under Paris’ and the Benedict Cumberbatch miniseries “Eric,” which released all six episodes two weeks ago. Elsewhere in streaming, “The Acolyte” has had no trouble finding its audience on Disney+. According to Disney, the show drew 4.8 million viewers on its first day, making it the streamer’s biggest hit of 2024 to date. Amandla Stenberg and Dafne Keen were in the top five names on IMDb, and both will likely remain popular through the show’s first season, which ends on July 16.
What’s in store for the coming week?
Expect next weekend to be all about “The Boys,” the raunchy comic book adaptation from showrunner Eric Kripke. The first three episodes of Season 4 arrive Thursday (6/13) on Prime Video, with new episodes dropping weekly. Returning cast members Karl Urban, Antony Starr, and Erin Moriarty will likely climb IMDb’s STARmeter, but a few new supes on the scene could put some breakouts in the spotlight, such as Valorie Curry (playing Firecracker) or Susan Heyward (as Sister Sage).
In theaters, Disney and Pixar’s animated ‘Inside Out 2’ is a shoo-in to win next weekend’s box office, though it may not have the same interest on IMDb as the streaming releases. The original voice cast of emotions are returning, but it’s more likely one of the newcomers will spike in popularity, like Maya Hawke (“Stranger Things”) as Anxiety, Ayo Edibiri (“The Bear”) as Envy, or Paul Walter Houser (‘I, Tonya,’ ‘Richard Jewell’) as Embarrassment.

The Boys will have their final fight in the near future.
Eric Kripke, the showrunner of Prime Video’s super(anti)hero series, said on social media Tuesday that the show’s fifth season — which the streamer ordered in May — will be its last.

Kripke’s post is accompanied by a script page purportedly from the season four finale — everything is redacted save for a “fade in” camera direction at the top of the page and the following message from the writer: “See you for our final season, motherfuckers!”

The Boys is one of the most popular superhero series in the world at this moment. The twisted take on the superhero genre, adapted from the comic book of the same name, became a major hit for Amazon Prime and a series that has pushed the boundaries of what can be shown on TV in more ways than one. After three successful seasons and a spin-off series, the fourth season of The Boys is coming back later this year, with the premiere scheduled for June 13, 2024 but some critics have already had the pleasure of seeing at least some of the scheduled episodes, and the first reactions are in. Based on what the initial reviews are claiming, the fourth season is more or less good, although the early scores are not as high as before.

The Boys are back in town for a fourth season of Prime Video's ultra-violent comic book series, and the review embargo has now lifted ahead of Thursday's 3-episode premiere.
The majority of critics were able to check out the full 8 episodes, and while the initial verdicts are (mostly) positive, it's looking like season 4 might prove to be the show's most divisive yet.
It sounds like The Boys is still just as wickedly funny, outrageous and shocking as ever, but it may have actually become too dark for some critics, who feel the sociopolitical satire has begun to hit a bit too close to the bone, making for a "depressing" watch.
Season 4 has also been criticized for its repetitiveness, treading over the same ground as previous seasons without pushing the story forward into new territory.
As things stand, The Boys season 4 sits at 71% on Rotten Tomatoes. Have a read through some...

The Boys S4: Our Best Guesses on Sister Sage and Firecracker's Powers - Main Image
One unique aspect of The Boys is the clever invention of powers each hero possesses after consuming Compound V. This time, fans are curious about what Sister Sage and Firecracker's powers may be in The Boys season 4. Any guesses? We have our own.
Since Sister Sage and Firecracker are two new Supes whose identities were not originally part of The Boys' comic book series, here are our best guesses on what their superpowers could be.
Meet the New Brains Behind The Seven, Sister Sage
We may have yet to see Sister Sage (played by Susan Heyward) in action in The Boys season 4 trailer, however, fans can already surmise some of her qualities based on her Supe name and costume alone.

Ahead of the premiere of “The Boys” Season 4, showrunner Eric Kripke has announced the R-rated Amazon Prime Video superhero series will conclude with its fifth season.
“#TheBoys Season 4 Premiere Week is a good time to announce: Season 5 will be the Final Season!” Kripke said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday, which was accompanied with a screenshot of a redacted copy of the script for the Season 4 finale. “Always my plan, I just had to be cagey till I got the final Ok from Vought. Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 Days, cause the end has begun!”
Debuting in 2019, “The Boys” takes place in a world run by superhero mega corp Vought and follows the battle between the supes and the titular “Boys,” a group of humans whose lives have been ruined in one way or another by supes.

Thrilled to bring the story to a gory, epic, moist climax. Watch Season 4 in 2 Days, cause the end has begun!”
Debuting in 2019, “The Boys” takes place in a world run by superhero mega corp Vought and follows the battle between the supes and the titular “Boys,” a group of humans whose lives have been ruined in one way or another by supes.

Emilia Clarke's Brain Condition Had Her Fearing for Her Life on Game of Thrones Set - Main Image
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke recalled her initial fears after finding out she was diagnosed with a brain condition in between seasons. Here's what the actress had to say.
Game of Thrones Emilia Clarke Admits Brain Condition Made Her Fear for Her Career
"When you have a brain injury, because it alters your sense of self on such a dramatic level, all of the insecurities you have going into the workplace quadruple overnight," Clarke explained to the outlet.
She added, "The first fear we all had was: 'Oh my God, am I going to get fired? Am I going to get fired because they think I'm not capable of completing the job?'"
Clarke's first aneurysm (subarachnoid hemorrhage) occurred in 2011 after ending the filming for season 1 of Game of Thrones and later on,...

Showrunner Eric Kripke says he suggested spots for ad breaks in the show’s fourth season, but there’s no guarantee Amazon followed his advice.
In a move that Billy Butcher would surely label diabolical, Amazon followed a unique strategy for the rollout of the ad-supported plan on its flagship streaming service Prime Video earlier this year. That new subscription tier became available in January, but unlike most other streamers who have launched ads in recent years, Prime Video decided to make it the default option and compel viewers who wanted to go ad-free to pay $2.99 per month extra to upgrade. That means that the new season of “The Boys” — which debuts on Thursday, June 13 — will be accompanied by ads for the first time in the show’s history. However, I’ll show you how to leave them behind if you want to watch the show the way you always have before,...

Late in “The Boys” Season 4, there’s a relatively minor moment that carries major weight. A hero (it’s best not to say whom) brings an injured person to the hospital. As they turn to go, they see a little boy watching nearby. At first, the kid is awestruck. You can almost hear him thinking, “Wow, a real superhero! Right in front of me!” Then, as he realizes that the hero may have just saved someone’s life, he smiles. And the hero smiles back. That’s it. That’s the scene — so classic it could’ve been from any number of comic book adaptations over the last half-century, and so unironically sweet that “The Boys” may have been one of the last super-stories to be guessed.
Showrunner Eric Kripke’s Prime Video series isn’t averse to earnestness. After all, one hero’s journey starts with the soul-shattering loss of his girlfriend.

It’s rare for a show that appears to be running out of ideas to return two years later with the creative force that courses through the fourth season of Prime Video’s “The Boys.” After a couple of seasons of arguable wheel-spinning, seasons that seemed desperate to top the shock value of the first but didn’t do much with the complex themes or dense potential world-building in its abundance of ideas, “The Boys” oozes creative confidence with this outing and sets the table in a manner that bodes well for the future of this massive streaming hit.

You have to hand it to “The Boys.” Production on Season 4 of the Amazon action satire wrapped over a year ago, with its release delayed by subsequent strikes in the entertainment industry. The premiere still manages to be almost uncannily well-timed, with characters waiting on a verdict from the breathlessly publicized Manhattan trial of a polarizing political figure. Granted, the figure in question is Homelander (Antony Starr), the psychopathic Captain America type who serves as the series’ archvillain, not a certain former — and possibly future — president. But the trial’s subject is a clear allusion to an infamous Trumpism. When Homelander eye-lasered a protester for throwing a plastic bottle at his son, he essentially shot somebody in the middle of 5th Avenue. And in the ever-cynical world of “The Boys,” Homelander loses about as much support for it as his real-life inspiration.

In a time when superhero subversions are a dime a dozen, Prime Video series "The Boys" has stood out with its razor-sharp satire. Based on the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, "The Boys" is a perverse, hyper-violent take on superheroes that riffs on everything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to Fox News to Saturday morning cartoons. It follows the titular "Boys," a ragtag team of anti-superhero vigilantes under the leadership of ex-special forces soldier Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) as they try to take down the evil Vought corporation and its elite team of superheroes, the Seven.
The show has become infamous for its ridiculous gore gags and sex jokes, testing the boundaries of good taste as often as superhumanly possible. Yet, for every moment where the series has been vulgar and juvenile, it has had an equal moment of smart satire. Season 3 was a nearly perfect season of television,...

This The Boys season 4 review was based on all eight episodes and contains no spoilers.
Since it first premiered in the summer of 2019, Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys has been nothing short of a cultural necessity. Somebody needed to rise up and poke fun at the McU-ification of superheroes and all the subsequent corporate bootlicking it encouraged. And no, it couldn’t only be Marvel’s in-house Greek chorus, Deadpool.
This (increasingly loose) TV adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic series wasn’t just up to the task, it was perfect for it. The Boys has turned in three great seasons of satire on the superhero industrial complex that at times feels like a 1:1 comparison to the real world, albeit with some names changed, some superpowers added, and some penises exploded. It’s only fitting then that, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe begins to lag as a culturally dominant force,...

At this point, the formula for The Boys is well established. Take one helping of superpowered mayhem, add a side of relatable human drama, season with a generous amount of social commentary, and voilà — you have one of the best dramas on TV over the last five years. It’s a testament to series showrunner Eric Kripke that the recipe hasn’t yet grown stale. In its fourth season, the capacity to shock hasn’t dimmed, the political and cultural satire remains razor-sharp, and the character drama excavates new depths. The titular team may be as dysfunctional as ever, but make no mistake: The Boys is at the top of its game.
In part, that’s because of the recent additions. As the smartest person on the planet, Sage (Susan Heyward) is easily Homelander’s (Antony Starr) most dangerous new ally. And though he would never admit it,...

Sony’s Wayne Garvie has urged the European industry to echo counterparts in the U.S. by turning TV shows into franchises.
“Once the Americans have a successful returning series they do something we Europeans seem to be incapable of – turn them into franchises,” the boss of The Crown outfit’s international productions said this morning.
Turning to his native UK, Garvie said the local industry has been “brilliant at creating non-scripted franchises but really poor in drama,” floating that Doctor Who, which is co-produced by Sony-owned Bad Wolf, is “the only example I can think of.” In the U.S., on the other hand, he flagged Sony franchises such as Cobra Kai, Breaking Bad and The Boys.
“It is obviously not easy to do and you must start with initial success but once we have that why aren’t we thinking more about how to build that world out?...

“The Boys” media franchise expanded in 2023 with an Amazon Prime Video spin-off titled “Gen V,” which tells the story of young superpowered individuals (aka “supes”) attending Godolkin University. Composer Matt Bowen, who works on both shows with Christopher Lennertz, tells us that the “one million dollar question” was how to differentiate the music between “Gen V” and “The Boys.” “It was a new corner of the world and needed a new identity, but at the same time, we couldn’t depart too far from the sound of the world,” he explains. Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Jensen Ackles – who rose to recognition as Supernatural’s Dean Winchester – joined the star-studded cast of The Boys as Solider Boy, the paragon of an ‘alpha male,’ in season 3. But out of all his friends, the one who was the most thrilled about the news was his on-screen father from the CW fantasy horror, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

While primarily known for portraying Dean Winchester in Supernatural, Jensen Ackles made a strong comeback to the TV scene with The Boys where he played Soldier Boy. Thanks to that, Ackles has been experiencing a massive resurgence in popularity lately, and it seems like Supernatural and The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke wasn’t the only one who decided to capitalize on that.
Ackles and Haas Working on a Thriller Series
While CBS’ Tracker recently grabbed a piece of Jensen Ackles for itself, Prime Video had an even bigger and more enticing offer for the Supernatural alum. According to Variety, Ackles will play the lead role in the upcoming thriller series Countdown, which will see the actor work under Chicago Fire’s Derek Haas who will be running the show.

While many fans of Eric Kripke’s writing are now enjoying The Boys, as the show is about to release its fourth season, there is another group of fans, still longing for the return of The CW hit Supernatural. Even more so, they wish to see Kripke take back the creative control over the revival, leading the Winchester brothers to more adventures.
The Boys fans, on the other hand, have an opposite reaction to the idea of the show lasting for many more seasons, instead of ending at 5, like Kripke used to promise before. However, there isn’t much to fear right now. The creator doesn’t truly believe any similar show could repeat Supernatural’s success today.
Is Supernatural Season 16 in the Works?
While fans believe they have seen many different hints and clues pointing to the revival of the series, there is no official confirmation of this happening.

While the premise of “The Boys” is fairly simple to convey–a group of people aim to take down self-obsessed celebrity superheroes–there is a lot more going on in the show, especially in more recent seasons. The show never pulls its punches when it comes to social messaging. Hell, there was a literal Nazi bad guy in the series. And according to the showrunner, if you don’t like the messages found in “The Boys,” there’s really only one thing you should do–go watch something else.

It's a tragedy that "comic book" is synonymous with "superhero." If film is sometimes dismissed as a less mature medium than literature, and television in turn deemed less than film, then comics are at the bottom of that rung. The medium being the birthplace of an inherently childish genre about strongmen in capes doesn't dissuade the uninitiated of that notion.
Someone who definitely agrees with me is Irish comic writer Garth Ennis. He co-created "The Boys," a series where CIA agent Billy Butcher leads a five-man squad dedicated to taking down corrupt "supes."
Ennis grew up reading war comics and the magazine "2000 Ad" (home of Judge Dredd), so he has no childhood fondness for superheroes and can look at them with a different eye than most comic writers. "I don't hate superheroes," Ennis has protested. "I just think they're kind of silly." Hence, "The Boys" is all about taking the piss out of superheroes,...

The Boys returns for its long-awaited fourth season later this week, and Prime Video has released a promo featuring new cast member Jeffrey Dean Morgan sharing new details about his mysterious character.
In the humorous teaser, The Walking Dead alum manages to get a few things out before his words begin to be heavily censored.
Is he actually spilling any redacted secrets here? Well, we already know a few things about Morgan's character, but there are certainly some details that have been kept firmly under wraps - and for good reason.
Without giving anything away, let's just say Mr. Kessler doesn't care for The Boys and feels Butcher and the team's methods haven't been yielding adequate results.
Have a look at the new promo below, along with some new stills from the first three episodes and a video featuring The Deep sharing some "wise" words.
Finally, @jdmorgan shared more details about his character at #IGNLive.

At the end of March, we learned that British actor Chance Perdomo, best known for his roles in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and The Boys spin-off Gen V, had died following a motorcycle accident.
Shortly after the actor's passing, the show's production team confirmed they had paused work on the series to figure out how to move forward without him.
As Andre Anderson, the actor played one of Gen V's lead characters, with the stage ultimately set for him to be a major player in the world of The Boys. Fans have wondered if the role might be recast, but The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke has now elaborated on how Andre will be written out of the spin-off series.
"First, it's just so unbelievably tragic, and my heart goes out to his family," Kripke tells TV Line. "We're not trying to replace him because we can’t. We're playing the character's death on the show.

The Boys are back in town, and they might be here to stay for a while.
As Season 4 of the Prime Video superhero series soars back to the streamer this month, showrunner Eric Kripke revealed his plans for the future of the series, which is based on the comic book of the same name.
“I am – without hyperbole – literally the worst person in history at predicting how long their show should go,” he said in the latest issue of SFX Magazine after his last show, Supernatural, lasted for 15 seasons.
“No one in the entire history of the entertainment business has been more wrong than me, giving interview after interview on how I thought Supernatural should end after five years,” added Kripke.
He reasoned, “So I would be crazy to speculate on how many seasons any show should go. I’m not going to make that same mistake again. But, yes,...

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kripke said oftentimes, their writing parallels real life in eerie ways.
“Sometimes we feel like we’re Satan’s writers room,” said Kripke, addressing how the current season, revolving around a tense presidential election, may hit too close to home for some.
“When Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] and I took it out to pitch, it was 2016,” Kripke said later,...
