The Boys Season 4: Who’s The New Black Noir?

The Boys has returned with the fourth season, and the fans are bubbling with questions about what they can expect in the newest chapter of the popular superhero series. One of these questions undoubtedly revolves around the identity of the new Black Noir. A member of the superhero team The Seven, Black Noir has been part of The Boys narrative since the inaugural season.

Due to the events depicted in season 3, there was a possibility of Black Noir not returning at all in season 4. Instead. we are introduced to a new character in the Black Noir costume. Here is everything you need to know about Black Noir II in The Boys Season 4.

Who’s the new Black Noir in The Boys

The new Black Noir or Black Noir II is a trained actor. However, Nathan Mitchell, who portrayed the original Black Noir in the previous three seasons, remains with the series and also plays the new Black Noir.

As of Episode 3, not much information has been divulged about the New Black Noir. We know that he is narcoleptic as well as talkative and animated, as opposed to the reserved and quiet original Black Noir. Also unlike the original Black Noir, the new one doesn’t have a brain injury.

By his own admission, the new Black Noir is struggling to understand what motivated the person he is portraying in front of the world. When he approaches other members of The Seven about this, they unceremoniously dismiss his concerns. All these clues, along with Mitchell’s involvement, make it clear that this character was not previously introduced in the series.

What happened to the original Black Noir?

Homelander (Antony Starr) killed the original Black Noir in Season 3.

In the final episode of Season 3, Homelander confronted Black Noir and asked him if he knew Soldier Boy was his father. When Black Noir said he did, Homelander killed him for keeping it from him.

Later, Vought International put out a story in the media about Black Noir being busy with a critical mission outside the US to cover up what happened. As demonstrated above, by Season 4, the company has found an actor to play Black Noir.
