LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Boys' Season 4 debuted on Prime Video on June 13, sparking speculation about Mother's Milk potentially being recast.

The series on Amazon Prime Video, adapted from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comic books, has earned acclaim for its fearless portrayal of superheroes and its exploration of complex themes.

The confusion surrounding 'Mother's Milk' in season 4 stems from Laz Alonso's changed appearance. The actor underwent significant weight loss, which he humorously attributed to cutting back on pizza.

Additionally, he shaved his facial hair, contributing to a new look for the character in the latest season of 'The Boys'.

In 'The Boys' Season 4, the show addresses Mother's Milk's weight loss in the very first episode itself, offering an explanation within the storyline for the character's changed appearance.

It's revealed that MM has been neglecting his meals due to overwork and stress, leading to his noticeable weight loss.

This explanation ties into MM's evolving role in season 4 as he takes charge of the team amidst escalating tensions in the superhero world.

With one superhero set to become vice president and another embracing far-right supe ideology, MM finds himself collaborating closely with the CIA and the future president within the show's universe. These added responsibilities amplify the pressure on MM's character.

Laz Alonso continues to portray MM in season 4, navigating through these complex developments in 'The Boys'.

As the new leader of the Boys in 'The Boys' Season 4, Mother's Milk's role becomes significantly more dynamic and exciting.

Unlike the earlier seasons where he had less going on compared to other Boys members, MM's narrative gains depth with his leadership responsibilities and ideological clashes, particularly with Butcher.

His belief in converting A-Train indicates closer collaboration with Vought's supers, potentially increasing the risks involved.

Unlike Butcher's straightforward approach, MM's strategy involving CIA alliances and plans for A-Train suggests a more intricate path forward in season 4 of 'The Boys'.

This could mark a pivotal moment where the Boys finally make substantial strides against Vought.
