New The Boys season 4 photos offer a first look at Firecracker and Sister Sage, two new supes who will appear in season 4 of the series.

Amazon Prime Video has revealed the first photos of the new superhero characters joining the cast of The Boys season 4. Portrayed by actors Valorie Curry and Susan Heyward, Firecracker and Sister Sage are original characters created for the series.

Based on the comic series of the same name, The Boys follows a group of rough-and-tumble vigilantes led by Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) who take on corrupt superheroes. The series was developed for Amazon Prime and Sony Pictures Television by showrunner Eric Kripke, who serves as executive producer alongside Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The season 3 finale aired on Amazon Prime Video in July 2022, and production for The Boys season 4 is currently underway in Toronto.

In the new photos, Curry and Heyward are decked out in their new superhero gear. Heyward's Sister Sage wears a brownish and gold-coloured uniform, accompanied by some very stylish sunglasses and tall platform boots. Meanwhile, Curry sports a more traditional superhero look, one that is slightly more revealing and stylized with a blue and red color scheme, and she appears to be armed with a holstered gun. According to Variety, both suits were designed by The Boys costume designer Laura Jean Shannon, who also created the Soldier Boy costume worn by actor Jensen Ackles in season 3.

Heyward is best known for her breakout role as prison guard Tamika Ward in the final two seasons of the hit Netflix series Orange Is The New Black. More recently, she starred in the OWN series Delilah and is set to star in upcoming the Apple TV Plus series Hello Tomorrow. Curry has previously acted on Amazon's short-lived series The Tick, alongside Griffin Newman and Peter Serafinowicz. More recently she starred as the lead in the Peacock original series The Lost Symbol, and she is known for her recurring roles on the Showtime series House of Lies starring Armor Wars actor Don Cheadle and the popular detective series Veronica Mars.

There is very little known about these new characters, and Amazon Prime has been very tight-lipped regarding details, only telling Variety that further information about the new Supes “will be kept under wraps until the season airs.” It's difficult to say what role these two will play in the next season of The Boys, but Sister Sage does look like she'd be right at home in the late 1960s or 70s and could be much older than she appears, while Firecracker is most likely a riff on the Marvel character Black Widow, played by actress Scarlett Johansson in the MCU.

The Boys seasons 1-3 are now available on Amazon Prime Video.
