The first season of Amazon’s The Boys answered a lot, but it also left just as many questions to be answered in Season 2, including what’s going on with Black Noir.
Originally reported by Comicbook.com, a few of The Boys’ stars shared some information at a C2E2 2020 panel about the show about Black Noir, including that the character is “a f***ing force” in the upcoming season. When asked by a fan what viewers should expect for Black Noir, Karl Urban, who plays Billy Butcher in the show, said fans are going to love what’s coming.
“It is so good,” Urban said. “[Black Noir’s] thread very well through the whole series and culminates in some diabolical action which I can’t get too specific about at this point, and you may even find out what his Kryptonite is.”

Antony Starr, who plays Homelander in the show, followed up to say that Urban is right.
“He’s right,” Starr said. “Black Noir, I think of all the characters from Season 2, I think they probably wrote to him the strongest in Season 2 in my opinion. Black Noir is like a f***ing force in Season 2.”
Erin Moriarty, who plays Starlight, added that Black Noir is terrifying in the next season.

Those familiar with The Boys comic books likely know what these stars are teasing, but for those just watching the show, you’ll have to wait until Season 2 drops later this year.
If you haven’t had the chance to check out the show, it’s available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. We thought the first season was amazing, giving it a 9 out of 10.
