Black Noir star Nathan Mitchell teases an"amazing"and unexpected ending inThe Boysseason 5. Mitchell has played the masked and silent Black Noir since season 1. While the character is killed by Homelander (Antony Starr) in the season 3 finale, Mitchell returns inThe Boysseason 4 castas Black Noir II, a Supe method actor hired by Vought to continue playing the part. In season 4, Mitchell’s Black Noir shows his face and gets to speak, and even becomes friends with his fellow Seven member, the Deep (Chace Crawford).
While speaking withScreenRant’s Tatiana Hullender about Netflix’sGinny & Georgiaseason 3, Mitchell was asked what he could tease aboutThe Boysseason 5, which will be the final season of the hit series.Mitchell reveals thatThe Boyshas"an amazing conclusion"and that the character arcs and gross moments go in directions"you are not expecting.“He also shares how excited he is for the audience to see more of Black Noir II and that he is eager to share the final season with the fans. Check out Mitchell’s comments below:
Ah, man. I am excited for the audience to see more new Noir in season 5. I think we learn more about him, and I think it’s a fun ride. There are character arcs, journeys, and very gross moments in season 5 that you are not expecting.
What This Means For The Boys Season 5
Black Noir II Still Has An Important Role To Play
Getting to"see more new Noir in season 5"and"learn[ing] more about him"arepromising signs that there will be more of Mitchell showing his face and speakinginThe Boys' final season. Black Noir II was brought in so the public didn’t have to know what happened to the original Black Noir. Yet, by taking his mask off when he wasn’t supposed to, and even sitting in Homelander’s chair in the Seven’s conference room, Black Noir II has already shown a disregard for the rules, and that may carry over into season 5.
As a member ofHomelander’s Supe armyand as a member of the Seven, Black Noir II will be expected to kill and hurt countless individuals. It will be intriguing to see whether he follows those orders as he has in the past or if he ultimately resists. What a satisfying conclusion looks like for Black Noir II is more complex than it is for other characters, as this version of Black Noir has only existed since season 4. Whether that means ultimately defying Homelander or staying loyal to him,Mitchell seems happy with the final outcome.
Our Take On Nathan Mitchell’s Comments
I’m Ready To Dive Deeper Into Black Noir II
Delivering a satisfying final season and series finale can be challenging, but Mitchell’s comments make me optimistic that the show will be able to pull it off. While the primary focus will be on characters like Homelander and Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), it sounds likeBlack Noir II will also have more of a chance to shine before the end. Black Noir II being a method actor and trying to get inside the head of his “character” inThe Boysseason 4 was amusing, and I hope there is more of that in season 5 as well.
